Figure 14: Initial proposal to single sloped roofing
The modules consist of a metal thermo-acoustic sheet roof, wood frame and ceiling, with minimum slope and have advantages such as light weight, ease of storage, transportation, assembly
and storm water runoff. On the other hand, the resulting formal aspect was judged by the investigators as very simple and can convey the false idea of something with low quality or temporally. This perception, checked in work meetings, reinforces the needs of a physical prototype that
could be evaluated by prospective users.
Thus, looking for more speed, lower cost and mass customization, a survey dedicated to alternative solutions for roofing that take into account symbolic aspects, should be carried out. Within
the design team, a case study is in progress. It is guided both by the understanding the symbolic
aspects of the roof system and aiming ways of implementing these systems taking into account
the prefab factors.
