A tipologia como instrumento historiográfico: uma análise dos espaços residenciais modernistas em Aracaju/SE

Abstract

The structural logic underpinning architectural objects not only determines their configuration but also shapes how they are used and perceived by users. By understanding and analyzing space as a system, this research aims to conduct a typological analysis of modernist residences in Aracaju, focusing on the graphical analysis of their architectural designs based on the space syntax theory. To achieve this, residences recognized as cultural heritage were selected due to their significance in the city’s history. The methodology employed included a literature review on architectural typology, functionality, spatial syntax, and modern architecture, along with data collection and graphical analysis, utilizing convex maps and graphs in a comparative approach among the studied specimens. The analysis of syntactic properties not only highlighted the presence of a hierarchy of privacy and functional separation of spaces but also emphasized the preservation of traditional patterns within a modernist context. Thus, this study contributed to a deeper understanding of the social dynamics shaping modern residential architecture in Aracaju, underscoring the importance of configurational analysis in the study of built heritage.
