Sustainable construction systems say everything about CASACOR SP 2018

In its 32nd edition, CASACOR São Paulo has as its identityA Casa Viva , with innovative options, in favor of the environment and combined with design and architecture. In 2018, the exhibition focuses on a broad concept of the word LIVING: living in harmony with nature, investing in comfort combined with economy and sustainability. In keeping with the theme, the exhibition's professionals invest in the best architecture, design and landscaping without giving up environmental awareness, whether inside or outside the home. In practice, construction systems that are accessible on the market and ready to be designed and used in other projects were used. The highlight of the exhibition is SysHaus , by Arthur Casas, in partnership with the startup that gives its name to the project. In a luxury home measuring 200 m² , urbanism, technology and sustainability come together in the same space. Showing that it is possible to build sustainably, SysHaus demonstrates that environmental awareness is present from start to finish: the house arrives at the address 95% ready for assembly, without generating waste or wasting water. In addition, the house has mechanisms for collecting and reusing rainwater, solar energy through photovoltaic panels and a biodigester, which transforms organic waste into gas for use in the kitchen and fireplace.

Another sustainable investment was that of Jóia Bergamo, in Casa do Escritor . The project uses the Light Steel Frame (LSF) system as a construction structure instead of bricks and concrete, which allows for faster construction, without polluting the environment, thermal and acoustic comfort, and the useful life of the material is approximately 200 years. The 70 m² space receives natural light and is provided with glass openings. Gabriel de Luca, in Recinto do Bosque , bets on brise-soleils, which in addition to bringing beauty, open space for light to enter and warm the space. The architect also bet on the use of steel frame , which allows for a clean and quick construction, using steel profiles, in addition to cement plates for closing. At Cabana , Thiago Manarelli and Ana Paula Guimarães also bet on steel frames . With a steel structure, the construction was built in just 18 days and arrived ready at the construction site of the Jockey Club in São Paulo. Afterwards, it was covered with drywall and metal tiles, in a clean construction that does not use wooden molds or concrete, and without waste. Because it is modular, the house allows the rooms to be changed in size and location. In 467 m², the Plantar Ideias duo, Luciana Pitombo and Felipe Stracci, presents a prefabricated garden, which allows the space to have no fixed structures. Still on the subject of sustainability, the professionals invested in recycled fabric for the bungalows' tensioned roofs and asbestos-free fiber cement panels to enclose the space.

Since sustainability is a hallmark of Marton Estúdio’s work, it was this concern that guided the entire project for the CASACOR Duratex Store by Armazém do Marton. The store was created entirely from a wooden structure, which can be completely dismantled and reassembled elsewhere. “The wood is cut to the appropriate size for the space and the planks are glued together. This construction system is widely used in the United States and Europe, but it is not yet so common in Brazil,” he explains. “With this type of work, you save a lot of assembly time. It is a very quick and simple type of construction,” reveals Marton.
