The aim of this research is to examine the distribution’s evolution of the industrial sector in the municipalities of Santa Catarina State and its transformations for the years 2002, 2009 and 2016. We used two methodologies to measure the evolution: Principal Component Analysis to build an Industrial Municipal Index (IMI) of Santa Catarina cities, which is used with Spatial Data Analysis. The Moran's I statistics appoint to regions of industrial concentration witch areas are spatially autocorrelated. The results revealed an increase in the IMI average, although in the most industrialized regions there was a reduction, such as in Joinville, Jaraguá do Sul, Blumenau and Brusque.

Buildings must perform the function of shelter with low environmental impact. Among the parameters for efficient building projects, there are the adaptive thermal comfort models, which impose limits on the daily thermal amplitudes in indoor environments. Between the strategies to provide buildings with adequate levels of thermal inertia are thermal capacity and thermal insulation, aiming to reduce the use of air conditioners and appliances, contributing to the population's comfort and quality of life. Thus, for the correct application of these measures, it is necessary to know the daily thermal amplitudes of the external environments. However, in Brazil, maps of daily thermal amplitudes or levels of thermal inertia recommended by climatic regions are not available. This research aimed to verify the daily thermal amplitudes and the levels of thermal inertia recommended for housing in the state of Paraná. For this purpose, data from meteorological stations installed in 49 municipalities were used, 29 of them in Paraná and the rest in the surroundings of the study area. Analyzes were performed based on different percentiles (99.5, 99, 97.5 and 95), 10 amplitude profiles and two reference values of the maximum recommended daily amplitude for the indoor environment of a building (5 °C and 7 °C). The maps produced allow designers, with coordinates of any location in the state, to obtain the daily thermal amplitudes of reference (external) for the project and the levels of thermal inertia (internal) recommended for houses.

The present article identifies the geographic, economic and social combinations that were responsible for the formation of the identity of the municipality of Canoinhas and its importance for the formation of the architectural patrimony. For this, the concepts of territory, identity and architectural patrimony are worked as a fundamental theoretical reference. Based on ancient structures and processes, in natural, economic and social combinations, which are composed of endogenous and exogenous elements, a technical-productive structure was generated, based on production forces and social relations linked to the extractivism of mate grass and wood. This structure, among others, was directly responsible for the spreading, in the urban landscape in the municipality of Canoinhas, of the architectural heritage of wooden buildings.

This article deals with a collective work carried out by the students of the subject "Theory and History of Architecture and Urbanism V" of the Course of Architecture and Urbanism of UFSM Campus Cachoeira do Sul. From the analysis of six school buildings, the synthesis of these case studies in an innovative way in a booklet-fanzine that, in addition to seeking dialogue with the entire academic community promoting discussions among students, teachers and administrative technicians, sought the training of reflexive and autonomous students with the capacity to develop higher cognitive processes ranging from analysis to creation.
