Abstract

This paper presents the results of an investigation on verandahs and self-built houses. The investigation is part of a continuing investigation on the self-built housing phenomenon in the region of Campinas, Brazil. In this study the verandah is singled out as a significant building element to attain environmental comfort. A field study, in five outlying areas of the city of Campinas, applied 76 questionnaires to families of self-built houses. A second study analyzed 64 floor plans of self-built houses, drawn from a previous investigation. Results show that the front verandah is less and less popular, but the back porch is still an important element for clothes washing and drying activities. The population recognizes the verandah’s importance as a shading element, but self-builders today seldom incorporate this knowledge into the design of house.
