This article aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of the university's Wi-Fi stored data in supporting campus resilience enterprises associated with university innovation. These data are generated by processes of device authentication in the access points distributed across the campus. Each log file associates user identification, location, and time and represents a powerful resource, but carries remarkable risks for users' privacy. The great challenge is how to measure, communicate, and make feasible this significant resource potential. Through
RESUMENLa sustentabilidad del planeta exige un cambio significativo en la forma cómo nos relacionamos con el medio ambiente. En ese contexto, el gran desafío consiste en pasar del discurso a la práctica. Las universidades, como formadoras de futuros profesionales e investigadores, deberían asumir una posición de liderazgo en este proceso. Sin embargo, la fragmentación del conocimiento, en áreas o departamentos aislados, no contribuye a la implementación de esos cambios relevantes. El proceso de desarrollo de un proyecto regenerativo para el campus de la Universidad Federal de Santa Catarina, en Brasil, constituye una propuesta para el debate sobre el papel del espacio físico universitario como instrumento pedagógico para la resiliencia de los ecosistemas. El concepto del proyecto surge del análisis y las proposiciones de estudiantes de posgrado, provenientes de diferentes áreas formativas, las cuales se orientan a desarrollar propuestas claras en las que dinámicas y ciclos de la naturaleza puedan aportar positivamente a la calidad de aprendizaje y viceversa.Palabras clave: arquitectura ambiental, desarrollo sostenible, campus universitario, educación universitaria, hidrología. ABSTRACTThe sustainability of the planet requires a significant change in the way we relate to the environment. In this context, the great challenge is to move from discourse to practice. Universities, which are responsible for educating future professionals and researchers, should take a leadership position in this process. However, the fragmentation of knowledge into isolated areas or departments does not contribute to the implementation of these relevant changes. The process of developing a regenerative project for the main campus of Santa Catarina University in Brazil relates directly to the debate on the role of the physical space of universities as a pedagogical instrument for the resilience of ecosystems. The design concept arose from the analyses and propositions of graduate students from different disciplines. They aim to develop clear proposals in which nature's dynamics and cycles positively contribute to the quality of learning and vice versa.
A ciência de dados tem aumentado a capacidade de análise de edifícios, infraestruturas e sistemas urbanos, ampliando o alcance e o impacto das decisões de gestão e projeto. Na metodologia utilizada, a interdependência entre a privacidade dos usuários e os algoritmos é essencial em face da Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados Pessoais e da interdisciplinaridade da pesquisa. Apresentam-se três estudos tendo por base o uso de dados de acesso à rede Wi-Fi da Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. O primeiro considera a mobilidade pelos deslocamentos externos da comunidade acadêmica até o campus. No segundo, o ambiente pedagógico e as relações entre o deslocamento interno e o território da universidade são abordadas, focalizando interações presenciais. O último estudo avalia a densidade demográfica dos edifícios através do número de conexões Wi-Fi como uma das ferramentas possíveis para o planejamento das atividades presenciais interrompidas devido a COVID-19. Visando facilitar o compartilhamento e acelerar a visualização destas informações, o Kepler.gl é utilizado como ferramenta de visualização e análise dos dados obtidos. Os resultados fornecem maior compreensão sobre mobilidade extra-campus e interações humanas intra-campus, expondo a fragmentação territorial universitária. Faz-se também um reposicionamento conceitual da produção urbana das Smart Cities, considerando negativas as adesões acríticas ao conceito ao propor um fomento do campus enquanto espaço público de aprendizado e de transformação social.
This article advocates the potential space for promoting public democratic environments. In recent decades, public university policies in Brazil have provided an expressive shift towards more inclusive campuses. On the other hand, the growing urban commercialization has significantly reduced diversity within the city's public areas. This study aims to highlight the relevant role that university campuses can play in providing civic areas for the city and to evaluate the spatial characteristics that facilitate democratic gatherings. In 2019, the Federal University of Santa Catarina's main campus was the stage of several events to protest against the government's reduction of the education budget. The study starts from the recognition of the university areas that house students from more diverse areas of study. Subsequently, university community assemblies have been registered within this area and their spatial attributes have been analyzed. More flexible and permeable spaces on the buildings' ground floor influenced these choices to gather and confront ideas. These findings point to solutions that go against current practices, aimed towards more protected entrances. Furthermore, they suggest directions so the university reduces its boundaries, inviting the city into its open areas through buildings that offer free services to its citizens.
As a social infrastructure, the material substrates of a campus intertwine with the sociabilities it supports. Intending to identify the integration potential between a Brazilian public university campus and its surrounding neighborhoods, we mapped the campus’ social infrastructures and identified through diagrammatic studies its morphological dimensions. Internet routers distributed on the university campus provided georeferenced data of the human dynamics on campus. Counting user connections in groups of access points, we obtained the population density of the potential social infrastructure use. Afterward, associating Wi-Fi data and typological information, we traced itineraries that connect these infrastructures. The results encompass a systemic view that highlights the campus’ potential to develop sociability within a complex service network. Furthermore, through new readings of the social infrastructures, we suggest alternative potential uses. These results highlight the hybrid methodologies that associate objective characteristics of the built environment with data-driven methodologies, such as Wi-Fi-generated datasets.
