A PRÁTICA E A TEORIA EM BUSCA DA QUALIDADE ESPACIAL

Abstract

This research is the result of a postgraduate course (master's / doctorate) held in the second half of 2018, at the Institute of Architecture and Urbanism of the University of São Paulo. The course discussed aspects of spatial quality and user requirements, proposing the elaboration of a social housing design, in BIM (Building Information Modeling) platform. In this context, the objective of this paper is to present a proposal for a flexible social housing design, developed in the course, after a critical analysis of a design of “Programa Minha Casa Minha Vida”. The research started with a bibliographical revision on spatial quality and flexibility in housing, passed thought an analysis of the aforementioned PMCMV design, until concluding with the proposal of the new design solution, more flexible and more compatible with the needs of users. The design demonstrates that, with some care and with a certain increase of built area, it is possible to considerably increase the spatial quality of the dwelling. So, this paper contributes to the discussions of social housing design, providing subsidies both to academia and design community.
