Habitação coletiva destinada ao aluguel social no centro de Curitiba

Abstract

Themes and discussions about social housing are widely disseminated, discussed and implemented in our country. There are several housing programs, which were conceived in recent decades, including one of the current program Minha Casa Minha Vida. These programs are intended to provide housing for low-income people, ensuring their right to housing. However, the city of Curitiba’s published IBGE indexes indicate that the housing production increasing does not decrease the percentage of the deficit on the city since 1991. By this way, the studies and designs are valid for access to social housing in alternative ways. The social rent is a way already widespread internationally, in Brazil there are few cases of this practice. Public policy proposals to the city of Curitiba, as the revision of the Master Plan 2015, indicate to practice this mode of access to social housing. In this purport, the research is dedicated to the historical understanding of social housing in Brazil and the looking for deeper knowledge about the Social Rental, in order to propose an architectural design that promotes an alternative access to housing in a suitable place for citizens’ development.
