Abstract

The present document gives account of the results of the environmental formation of the students of the school of architecture of the North Catholic University. The project for degree " Institute of Botanical Investigations for the national reserve Morro Moreno" approaches the theme of the sustainability of the building through utilization of the hydric resource (camanchacas) and the incorporation of the device " to catch fogs" in the conformation of the architectonic space. In this manner the project establishes clearly relations of environmental and landscape integration and proposes architectonic elements of environmental control, energetic efficiency of the facilities in the pickup and water consumption, selection of environmentally correct materials for an architecture assumed properly for its desert condition

Keywords. Hydric resource; Camanchacas; sustainable architecture; Comfort; Energetic efficiency
