Arquitetura Temporária de Emergência: O Domo Geodésico

Abstract

The increase in environmental disasters and geopolitical tensions has heightened the vulnerability of populations, compromising their safety and quality of life. This article discusses our Undergraduate Thesis, which focuses on the development of temporary shelters for refugees and victims of natural disasters, using prefabricated structures and vernacular materials that ensure thermal, lighting, and acoustic comfort, adapting to different climatic and regional conditions. The project prioritizes emergency situations in the Brazilian context but can also be applied in other countries affected by humanitarian crises. The proposal incorporates multifunctionality, allowing temporary use of the structure during scientific, sports, or cultural events in Naviraí (MS), addressing the local shortage of adequate lodging. After analyzing different shelter typologies, the geodesic dome was identified as the most efficient solution due to its resistance, lightness, versatility, and construction efficiency, allowing materials to be adapted to the regional context without compromising structural stability, providing sustainable and adaptable solutions to contemporary demands for dignified housing in crisis situations.
