RESUMO

Designed by Oscar Niemeyer in the early 1950s, the Copan Building in Downtown São Paulo, Brazil, was erected during a period when sweeping changes were taking place in the city. The local economy was strengthened by the growing real-estate market and was bringing about a veritable "rage of construction." The Copan is the tallest residential building in Latin America, having 116,152m² of constructed area, and it was a monument to the new architectural paradigms being adopted in São Paulo in the 1950s, including gigantism, verticalization and demographic densification. Using methods and techniques of the Post Occupancy Evaluation (POE), this dissertation is aimed at appraising the buildings performance in the areas of environmental comfort, functional performance of the apartments and common areas, access for persons with difficulties in locomotion and sight, and fire safety, all from the points of view of both specialists and users. Whenever possible and pertinent, and based on the diagnoses drawn up, recommendations are made for each item geared to the demands expressed in todays laws and regulations, including the São Paulo Building Code. Proposals are also presented for improving the quality of living in this building. To back up the diagnoses and recommendations in the POE, the dissertation also includes a study aimed at obtaining a better understanding of the management of the designing process, right from its very conception.
