POLÍTICA HABITACIONAL Y CRECIMIENTO URBANO.

Las capas de la morfotipología plasmadas en la ciudad: La experiencia del taller de vivienda pública FAU

Abstract

The morphotypological analysis methodology developed in the Public Housing Workshop of the seventh semester of the Architecture career of the University of Chile is presented. The aim is for students to highlight the importance of public housing design, not only in architectural terms, but also in terms of interscale, understanding project decisions at the neighbourhood scale as their contribution to the formation of the city and the quality of life of its inhabitants. The exercise breaks down various Chilean residential projects at different times in their history, from three dimensions: the project intention of the complex residencial, the architectural typologies and the resulting urban form. The results show how, conditioned by the different political, social and economic contexts, as well as by the different forms of use and possibilities of consolidation, the configuration of our cities is, on the one hand, the expression of the various sociotypological models and, on the other, the manifestation of social processes over time.
