Quiosque sustentável em madeira laminada colada para área de convivência no IFBA-campus Salvador

Abstract

This study presents the proposal of a sustainable glued laminated timber (GL T) kiosk designed to meet the social interaction needs of students at the Federal Institute of Bahia (IFBA) – Salvador Campus. The research discusses the concept of sustainability and the responsible use of wood, highlighting GL T as a renewable material with high structural resistance and low environmental impact. Through literature review , on-campus data collection, an informal technical visit, and the application of a student questionnaire, a significant shortage of adequate social spaces was identified. The results showed that 100% of the participants acknowledged the need for new environments and supported the implementation of a GL T kiosk. Based on this information, an architectural project was developed, including floor plan, elevations, roof design, and a 3D model, prioritizing accessibility , efficiency , and integration with the school environment. It is concluded that the proposed structure contributes to the students’ quality of life by promoting a sustainable, functional, and feasible space for future initiatives on campus.
