Abstract(s)
Este estudo investiga a evolução das construções em altura, focando em suas implicações arquitetónicas, tecnológicas e sociais desde o século VIII até a contemporaneidade. As construções verticais têm uma rica história que reflete não apenas inovações técnicas, mas também transformações culturais e sociais. O conceito de “torre” é explorado em suas diversas classificações, ressaltando as distinções entre edifícios verticais e arranha-céus. A pesquisa traça a trajetória histórica das construções em altura, desde as torres medievais até os arranha-céus modernos, destacando os avanços tecnológicos que possibilitaram a construção de estruturas cada vez mais altas e complexas. Um aspecto central da pesquisa é a análise das inovações arquitetónicas que caracterizam as construções em altura contemporâneas, investigando como as novas tecnologias influenciam a conceção e a execução desses edifícios, incluindo o uso de materiais avançados e sistemas de engenharia inovadores. A sustentabilidade é um foco importante, com ênfase em como os edifícios verticais podem contribuir para a eficiência energética e a redução do impacto ambiental nas cidades. A pesquisa também aborda a crescente demanda por habitação e espaços comerciais nas áreas urbanas, que impulsiona o desenvolvimento de novas construções em altura. Um estudo de caso detalhado sobre o Shard em Londres ilustra as questões discutidas, sendo analisadas em termos de sua arquitetura, tecnologias empregadas e impacto social e económico no ambiente urbano. As visitas a Londres e a cidades na Itália enriqueceram a pesquisa, permitindo uma observação direta das construções em altura e suas interações com o tecido urbano, evidenciando tanto os desafios quanto às oportunidades que esses edifícios apresentam. Em síntese, este estudo conclui que o futuro das construções em altura dependerá da habilidade de equilibrar inovação tecnológica com a responsabilidade social e ambiental, permitindo que as edificações verticais desempenhem um papel importante no desenvolvimento urbano sustentável, contribuindo para a criação de cidades mais habitáveis e resilientes.
This study investigates the evolution of tall buildings, focusing on their architectural, technological, and social implications from the 8th century to the present day. Vertical constructions have a rich history that reflects not only technical innovations but also cultural and social transformations. The concept of “tower” is explored in its various classifications, emphasizing the distinctions between vertical buildings and skyscrapers. The research traces the historical trajectory of tall buildings, from medieval towers to modern skyscrapers, highlighting the technological advancements that have enabled the construction of increasingly tall and complex structures. A central aspect of the research is the analysis of the architectural innovations that characterize contemporary tall buildings, investigating how new technologies influence the design and execution of these buildings, including the use of advanced materials and innovative engineering systems. Sustainability is an important focus, emphasizing how vertical buildings can contribute to energy efficiency and the reduction of environmental impact in cities. The research also addresses the growing demand for housing and commercial spaces in urban areas, which drives the development of new tall buildings. A detailed case study of The Shard in London illustrates the issues discussed, being analyzed in terms of its architecture, employed technologies, and social and economic impact on the urban environment. Visits to London and cities in Italy enriched the research, allowing for direct observation of tall buildings and their interactions with the urban fabric, highlighting both the challenges and opportunities these structures present. In summary, this study concludes that the future of tall buildings will depend on the ability to balance technological innovation with social and environmental responsibility, allowing vertical constructions to play a central role in sustainable urban development, contributing to the creation of more liveable and resilient cities.
