9. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS
The research and case studies raised to complete this work expands the knowledge in
several independent areas of architecture.
This work became possible based on the studies of Dickson Despommier in his
research on the benefits of vertical farms for humanity, as well as on the studies on cities
created by Richard Rogers in his book Cities for a small planet.
In summary, the studies were started from demographic research, in order to better
understand how the distribution of food works and the needs of the world population without
forgetting the future populations that will inhabit our planet.
Moving to a scale of city, municipality and reaching the place of implantation, the
neighbourhood of Santo Amaro, chosen for having an agricultural history that is currently
extinct due to urbanization.
Finally, the project proposal, based on the three case studies mentioned, allowed the
introduction of a sustainable model of agricultural production, in an urbanized region with
high population density, adding value to the neighbourhood.
Throughout the analyzes made for this work, I could observe that architecture without
thinking about the environment as part of the project becomes an immeasurable crime,
concluding that a good project is only possible with an environmental base added to it,
otherwise, it does not pass of a building polluting the environment and the landscape.
“The only way forward , if we are going to improve the quality
of the environment,is to get everybody involved.”
Richard Rogers
