Abstract

Social Housing is a topic that became widely discussed and implemented in the 20th century, mainly due to the intense housing deficit left by the World War II. With extremely high rates of homeless families, it becomes the State’s responsibility to promote alternatives for housing production. The mass production of social housing comes with the intention of building a lot in a short time, resulting in projects with poor architectural quality and lack of spaces that promote an interaction between neighbours. These houses are usually composed of one-story houses repeated in series and located in regions far from the urban center. Regarding that, this research is dedicated to the search and analysis of concepts and case studies that promote housing quality, housing flexibility, the good relationship between the housing complex and its surroundings and the urban insertion of a Vertical Social Housing.
