ANÁLISE DE UMA PRÁTICA DE ARQUITETURA ALTERNATIVA PARA DEMANDAS POPULARES

Abstract

The architectural practice used by the architects and urban planners of the Metropolitan Region of the Vale do Aço - RMVA does not meet effectively the popular demands, which they choose to build without the assistance of a specialized professional. In this way, the objective of the study was to establish an alternative architectural practice to the conventional one, that is able to attend to the popular demands, and that diminishes the existing distance between this public and the architect and urbanist. As a methodology, an experimental research was carried out where architectural projects were elaborated for the popular public of the RMVA, using as basis the method systematized by the Argentine architect Rodolfo Livingston, in order to evaluate its efficiency and make adaptations. In this way, it can be concluded that the services provided served as a medium for the construction of a methodology that could guide the architects and urban planners in the development of the project for the popular demands. This new architecture practice will allow this public to have access to an architectural project, as well as to promote an approximation among the agents involved in the process.
