HABITAÇÃO DE INTERESSE SOCIAL EM MADEIRA: CONJUNTO HABITACIONAL NO BAIRRO PEDRA 90, CUIABÁ/MT

Abstract

From the year 1994 was developed by the municipality of the city of Cuiaba, the a program called "Ecomoradia" covering items related to urban housing, sanitation and the recovery of degraded areas. The project, developed by the Sao Carlos School of Engineering, Sao Paulo, used leftover scraps of wood of small dimensions (under 8 ft. long), which were rejected by the market. The amount of 367 timber homes with 32.00 square meters were built, made of processed form, in the neighborhood “Pedra 90”, during the years 1995 and 1996, with the participation of future residents in the assembly steps. The project was halted in late 1996 and since then, without technical guidance to perform maintenance and renovations, many of the houses were demolished and replaced by brick houses. Of the 244 homes that still preserve the original module in wood, 72 took part in this survey, which evaluated the performance of materials and components and compare results with the performance evaluations made before in the same housing, in order to make an analysis of its evolution during the 14 years since the delivery of houses, revealing that despite serious problems disseminated by most households in the sample, minimal care as a replacement of roofing and wall painting were essential for the best results obtained by the few houses that have good performance.
