Diagrama morfológico parte I: instrumento de análise e projeto ambiental com uso de luz natural

Abstract

The architectural design must Þ nd a “compromise” between many requirements, as functional, aesthetics, environmental and economic ones. Considering environmental questions, very pressing in the global context, one can say that daylighting and all its consequences in the design have an important dimension from the environmental, functional and qualitative point of view in the architectural design. To include daylighting in the design process in a consistent way, optimizing its beneÞ ts and minimizing negative impacts becomes crucial. This article presents the “Morphological Diagram”, a synthesis tool of fundamental parameters to the architectural design related to daylighting, that can be used in the design process or in the description and evaluation of existent buildings from the environmental point of view, emphasising daylighting. The tool and application are described, making evident the advantages of it´s use in development of critical sense of designers and in the forming of an architectural reference repertory, basic for the designer and the quality of his projects.
