Mostra EMAU: Assessoria técnica e a atuação dos Escritórios Modelos de Arquitetura e Urbanismo (EMAUs) no Nordeste.

Abstract

The present work has as its object of study, the performance of the Model Offices of Architecture and Urbanism (EMAUs) in the Northeast of Brazil. EMAU is a University Extension project that was born in the 1990s, from the desire of students, organized in Academic Centers and in the National Federation of Architecture and Urbanism Students (FENEA), to guide academic and professional training aligned with the real city and the concrete demands of the vulnerable population and social movements. Thus, EMAU was created with the objective of associating teaching, research and extension and establishing a commitment, through advice and technical assistance, with the reality of the community where the university is located. Therefore, this work seeks to analyze the forms of action of Model Offices of Architecture and Urbanism (EMAUs) in the Northeast and their relationship with advice and technical assistance. For this purpose, a bibliographic and documentary survey was carried out, as well as the construction of semi-structured interviews in order to characterize the organization and performance profile of the model offices based on three case studies: Canto EMAU at UFC, Maré EMAU at UFRN and Trapiche EMAU from UFS. The work builds an important panorama of the performance of these EMAUs in the northeast of Brazil and brings reflections on the contribution of the University in the construction of advice and technical assistance through university extension.
