Clean and alternative constructions are highlighted at CASACOR Ribeirão

Sustainable buildings are known for their environmental benefits, as they are often able to create a perfect connection with nature . Although the topic is more popular than ever, buildings that aim to combine architecture and sustainability have been designed for decades. In 2024, the model, which continues to inspire contemporary architects and engineers, has been one of the attractions of the 6th edition of CASACOR Ribeirão Preto . “When we have the idea of building, we think of masonry, which is the most traditional method. But today, architectural evolution provides more modern, faster and more functional processes, as well as different materials, with low environmental impact and better cost-benefit. Since the objective of CASACOR is to present the main trends in the sector to the public, we could not leave this one out”, explains Maurício Siqueira, director of the exhibition in the city.

Geometric dome

One of the most surprising constructions of CASACOR Ribeirão Preto was named “Domo Refúgio Máxima Gourmet” and was designed by architect Taiza Moiteiro . The structure is made of wood , with nautical plywood sheets, sealing and external waterproofing . Meanwhile, the glass panel provides a panoramic view of the surrounding landscape.

Following the same line, “Casulo”, by Ângela Dorascenzi, Emerson Araújo and Fernanda Lucca , was developed through modular, off-site construction, in a metal structure and with almost 100% ecologically correct materials. This without leaving aside the sophistication and modernity present in the selection of finishes. “Our goal was to find a balance between the natural and the constructed, integrating spaces with the least possible interference. With low-impact materials and renewable energy technologies, it is a positive contribution to the environment”, emphasize the professionals.

Tiny House

Fabiano Taleb, who created the “Tiny House for Motorcyclists”, also opted for the metal structure . “We also chose this option because it was quicker. It took about 45 days to assemble. In addition, the construction was much cleaner,” he explained. The architect points out that the Tiny House concept itself, which guides the project, is part of this proposal. “They are small houses , compact and minimalist dwellings, which exalt conscious consumption and sustainability with a touch of modernity,” he adds.
