Doris Catharine Cornelie Knatz Kowaltowski is a Full Professor (2009) at the State University of Campinas, UNICAMP; she obtained a Doctorate (PhD) in Architecture from the University of California at Berkeley (USA) in 1980 and a Master of Architecture from the University of California at Berkeley, in 1970. In 1969 she graduated in Architecture (with honors) from the University of Melbourne (Australia ) with the diploma revalidated in Brazil in 1985. She works as a retired collaborating professor in the Department of Architecture and Construction of the Faculty of Civil Engineering, Architecture and Urbanism (FEC/FAU) at UNICAMP. She was the Coordinator of the Undergraduate Course in Architecture and Urbanism at FECFAU at UNICAMP between 1999 and 2002 and in 2006. She was the Associate Director of FECFAU/UNICAMP between 2003 and 2006. She coordinated and coordinates several research projects, with support from FAPESP, FINEP and FAEP / UNICAMP. She was a member of the Coordination of the Architecture and Urban Planning Area at FAPESP from 2006-2018. She worked in two undergraduate courses at UNICAMP: Civil Engineering and Architecture and Urbanism. Teaching focuses on architectural design. In research, interests include specific social housing projects and school architecture. Research areas are: Design methodology and tools to support the project process (Post-occupancy Assessment-APO and Architectural or Needs Program); humanization of architecture, bioclimatic architecture, school architecture and social housing. Graduate studies are connected to the Architecture, Technology and City-ATC program at FECFAU / UNICAMP. She completed the supervision of 10 doctoral theses and 11 master's theses and 33 scientific initiations. Other orientations: 2 post-doctorates. Supervion in progress: 1 masters degree.

Housing debates concentrate less on upgrading than on new buildings, although upgrading can have positive social, health and financial outcomes for low-income populations. Upgrading the existing stock of social housing (SH) offers an opportunity to ease effects of inadequate housing through improvements; alleviate housing deficits; and promote sustainability. Upgrading efforts involve sen…
The present research project has as it main objective the study of the design in Architecture, in its diverse aspects. Starting on the one hand with an in-depth theoretic study of this process, and on the other with research into the technologies of design evaluation, representation and automation, it is intended to propose new methods and develop tools which assist in the work of the arc…

Mass social housing mes (MSHP) are developed worldwide to improve housing conditions for vulnerable families. In Brazil, since 2009, the social housing me designated Minha Casa Minha Vida (MCMV, 'My house My life' in English) has provided affordable housing for a large number of low and middle-income families. Since 2019, this me has been substituted by the me Casa Verde e Amarela (CVeA, …

This research project is on evidence and precedent based school design to support the design process of learning environments for the 21st century and the dynamics in education that create uncertainties. The goal of the study is to analyse and organize school building research results for future transformation into design patterns and their graphic representation. A systematic literature …
Education and its infrastructure are part of one essential system for a country's social and economic development. Considering that architecture supports pedagogy, a school's expected goals and learning experiences are fundamental elements for the design of educational spaces, where architecture enhances the activities, playing a part in increasing learning productivity. The main goal of …
This research analyses the development of evaluation tools of social housing designs and projects in Holland. The goal is to gain knowledge on pre and post design evaluation methods and tools, focusing on social housing and how research results have been successfully applied to new social housing projects. This goal is to enrich the study at present underway collecting and structuring res…
