Na margem: arquitetura que toca o lixo e a consciência

Abstract

Population growth carries with it effects that directly affect the planet and the quality of life of those who inhabit it, requiring humanity to be cautious about its actions. The lack of concern about environmental issues along with inappropriate practices can generate large proportions of problems, such as the high production of waste, an issue that needs to be addressed properly. Environmental education acts as a collaborator in the engagement and participation of the population to improve this scenario, being able to offer the public the necessary knowledge for adequate participation, especially about solid waste management and the system it encompasses. Therefore, the purpose of this work is to develop an architectural project for the renovation and expansion of the solid waste sorting plant in the city of Campo Grande/MS. The aim is to propose strategies that can contribute to the waste sorting process, in order to improve the working conditions of the cooperative members, and enable a better experience for visitors, using architectural resources as facilitators for environmental education and a possible awakening to shared responsibility.
