Habitação de interesse social: análise arquitetônica, social e político-econômica do programa minha casa, minha vida para Curitiba-PR

Abstract

The right to adequate housing is guaranteed by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) and reinforced by Article 6 of the Brazilian Constitution. Despite various attempts to address the housing deficit in Brazil, a large portion of the population has not been supported by these initiatives (BALBIM, KRAUSE, 2014). In the face of this deficiency, there is a great amount of questioning of the quality of housing being produced by social housing programs (ARAGÃO, HIROTA, 2016). In the Minha Casa, Minha Vida program, the design deficiencies of the housing are evident, as the project is replicated without prior consideration of the socio-spatial context, primarily aiming for short deadlines and reduced costs, often prioritizing them over the final quality of the housing. It is worth emphasizing the importance of complying with regulations and legislation related to the subject, such as NBR 9050 and NPT 11. Case studies, both national and international, were also examined to define more effective architectural parameters for the subsequent proposal of a preliminary design. It was evident, then, that despite the economic obstacles imposed, it is fully possible to create a suitable housing project for the low-income population. Finally, it became clear that, a simply replication of the mass production in a capitalist context does not meet, let alone solve, Brazil's housing problems.
