Con el objetivo de proponer juegos de comunicación en estudiantes adolescentes, para optimizar el desarrollo de las actividades grupales en el proceso educativo, se realizó la siguiente investigación con enfoque eminentemente cualitativo en las carreras de Educación Básica y Educación Inicial de la Facultad de Ciencias Humanas y de la Educación. El estudio contó con la presencia de 3 docentes investigadores los cuales se involucraron en conocer los cambios que se producen en los adolescentes. Para ello se utilizaron los métodos, analítico sintético e inductivo deductivo, los cuales permitieron revisar la literatura existente para la descripción de los juegas, a su vez también se utilizó el análisis documental que permitió realizar un estudio de los juegos mas utilizados para la comunicación grupal. Se encuentran como resultados, tres juegos de comunicación, que serán aplicado durante todo el curso a los estudiantes de las carreras antes mencionadas.

Uno de los pilares para asegurar la producción apícola, es disponer de información confiable de la flora circundante y de los elementos que esta aporta al colmenar. Con ello, se puede planificar esquemas de manejo que incrementen la productividad. Frente a la necesidad de datos, se realizó el estudio de dos apiarios para contribuir al desarrollo apícola en la región interandina Zona 3, con el propósito de sustentar su gestión. Se priorizó identificar las especies vegetales de importancia melífera, y estimar su abundancia más la duración de la floración. Con la aplicación de los métodos: documental, y de campo, para el reconocimiento taxonómico de plantas melíferas, su cantidad, más el tiempo que persiste en fase de florecimiento de cada especie apícola evaluada, y la sistematización de los datos recopilados. Para el área del apiario A, se reporta 38 especies vegetales pertenecientes a 22 familias botánicas, siendo las más representativas: Asteraceae con 7 especies, y Rosaceae con 5. Por su parte, en el área del colmenar B, se registró 64 especies vegetales, correspondientes a 30 familias botánicas en las que se distingue la familia Fabaceae con 15 especies, y Asteraceae con 6. En abundancia para el apiario domina la especie Raphanus spp., en la subárea de rastrojos con más de 10000 individuos con flores, seguida por Prunus persica con 1000 a 10000 individuos con flores formando parte de la subárea de cultivos frutícolas y en el caso del apiario B, se destaca Raphanus spp con más de 10000 individuos con flores que predominan en la subárea de cultivos, y con menos de 1000 individuos en floridez para el resto de los especímenes. Cuya duración del florecimiento brinda una oferta parcialmente continua de recursos florales entre tres a seis meses, a excepción del área de pastos.

Christian sacred architecture, the building itself and its integrated symbols (altars, pulpits, furniture) are a materialization of culture into the set of spiritual beliefs and traditions that make sense for a particular community. Taking as an object of analysis the church of Santo Alexandre in Belém, Pará, we look at this building and its symbolic goods as repositories and/or labyrinths, in which an individual memory of its regulars is anchored, either by aesthetic, historical or affective reasons. Throughout time, these references may be lost, due to the priority of the largest social basis which demands actions of refuncionalization, such as the museal function of the sacred environments.  The case of the former Church of Santo Alexandre, in Belém Pará, becomes an emblematic case in order to analyze the consequences of actions which overlap patrimonialization to the heritage values to the collective memory of the citizens.

In architecture the dialogue between the architect and the client and end users is of extreme importance in order to respond to the expectations of the users. This dialogue should include an active participation of the end user in the design process. Such an involvement increases the users’ engagement with the proposals guaranteeing a greater satisfaction of them with the final built space. The present study was carried out in partnership with a real customer, Galp, and focuses on the design of a transformation to one of Galps’ convenience stores by introducing new concepts for the commercial space. In addition to the proposed changes, it was intended to consult the clients (end users of the store) and evaluate their satisfaction with the proposals presented. For this, it was decided to perform satisfaction tests using Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR) as a space simulation method. The IVR was used in tests with the end users and allowed to conclude that users consider that the presented proposals value the commercial space and the mobility within the store. It is also concluded that the use of IVR helps a good understanding of space for lay-persons.

By 2050 the world will have almost 10 billion people and compromising ecological boundaries will be a problem. The objective of the paper was to identify the characteristics of the window most addressed in international scientific production, with an emphasis on obtaining the building's energy performance and thermal comfort. Bibliographic data indexed in the Scopus, Web of Science and Science Direct databases were used. The methodological procedures defined the criteria for choosing electronic databases, the research strategies and definition of the search descriptors and defined the parameters of relevance and the procedures for analyzing the content and its systematization. The information obtained resulted in 744 articles related to the object of study. For better organization of the results, the classification of the researched content was divided into two categories: the elements and positioning of the window; and the factors that influence building performance. The results showed that among the elements, the type of glazing of windows is the most studied subject, among the factors, energy consumption leads. China is the main research country on the subject, with Brazil taking 17th place. The year 2017 presented the largest number of publications.

Changes in port structures and operations invariably interfere with the city-port relationship. In the current globalized context, technological demands become imperative, intensifying the role of territories as attractive to global capital and changing the port-city relationship. This leads to the strengthening of the trend of ports in the neighborhoods of cities. In Vitória, Espírito Santo, the trajectory of its ports is in line with the trajectory of its urban occupation, these elements being the basis for local socioeconomic, political, cultural and urban life. Vitória went from the quay city to the large port complexes, from the foundational port to the inland dry ports, constituting in the 21st century an infrastructure system articulated in transport and logistics networks of extensive global reach. Port sites are implemented through city cancellation processes. Public policies related to the port and urban dynamics in Brazil allow part of the problem about the port city and the impacts on the territory, like the one addressed in this article, through notes on the port system in Greater Vitória (ES). For the time being, that current port operations are predominantly aimed at the insertion of ports in the globalized market.

In the municipality of Coronel Vivida, Paraná State, Brazil, the urban population grows every year. In this condition, the public, and administrative center does not meet the demand due to poor conditions of use, and sizing of spaces. In this context, this work aims to identify, and evaluate humanization parameters for public and administrative spaces, approaching as a case study the Square, the City Hall, and the Town Hall. For this, a literature review was performed, identifying the parameters, and organizing them into five groups of attributes: natural elements, structure, accessibility, identity, and readability. These parameters are evaluated by applying a post-occupancy assessment from the technical, and user point of view. The results showed that most users are dissatisfied with the spaces, and realize the need for a new architectural, urban, and landscape project that values the importance of the administrative urban center integrated with the community. The contributions are intended to enable public, and political communication, through the relationship environment / behavior, as a form of inclusion, and social representation.

We consider the contributions of the new urban activism to the antigentrification struggle in São Paulo, through a double approach. First, we analyze experiences in areas vulnerable to gentrification, which demonstrate the potential and difficulties of resisting through alternative artistic practices. Next, we include the latent potential of peripheral collectives, which offer methodological examples of inclusive social technologies that can be adapted to other parts of the city. The premise is that self-managed actions create spaces for autonomous discussion, expanding the agenda of struggle for the right to the city by concrete and symbolic resistance. We defend that the politicization of the territory puts in question marketing strategies of harmonic incorporation of communities, imposing a movement of adjustment in the ultraliberal legitimation strategies.

Este número 27 da revista arq.urb, o primeiro do décimo segundo ano de publicação do periódico, que teve início em 2008, é também o primeiro número editado totalmente no sistema Open Journal Systems (OJS). Mas, por que seria importante mencionar esse fato aqui? Porque, enfrentados às atuais circunstâncias de epidemia e quarentena, os sistemas online de captação e veiculação de informação, que se incorporam na montagem de periódicos (com seus longos processos de seleção e avaliação cega por pares) acabam sendo centrais na possibilidade da sua produção, assim como para sua disseminação. Hoje, no meio de uma pandemia terrível, ficou mais claro que o conhecimento é um bem público global imprescindível, sustentado pelo acesso aberto à informação científica que a Internet e os meios de comunicação são capazes de possibilitar.

This paper aims to compare two theoretical investigations on the primordial house that renewed the discussions on the subject in the architectural field: that of Marc-Antoine Laugier and that of Gottfried Semper. In both, the primitive dwelling is a hut, a human product, designed and manufactured by men and, therefore, subject to theoretical reflection. Dissatisfied with the contemporary condition of Architecture, evaluating the moment as a time of distortion in architectural practice, Laugier and Semper, each in their own time, used this imagined house as a discursive strategy to propose changes in their field. In these authors, the image of the hut and the discourse about it served, to a great extent, as an expedient for times of crisis.
