Paisajes y espacios comunes en el hábitat popular colectivo: el tejido urbano-habitacional de departamentos de pasillo y pasajes en Palermo (Buenos Aires)

Abstract

Faced with the current global urban crisis, enhancing the collective intelligences installed in the territories and recovering the political sense of housing as a city maker could give us keys to rethink the contemporary dwelling. The analysis of the popular habitat is proposed as an option to study alternative forms of economic, environmental and social efficiency based on the emergent paradigm of commons and community management as a form of organization. For this, it is argued that the common spaces generated from the popular habitat can represent the germs of possible more sustainable urban fabrics. With Buenos Aires as a scenario, the present text initially explores the typologies of "corridor departments" and "passages" of the neighborhood of Palermo, with the aim of trying to highlight the urban-housing fabric resulting from historical processes, putting value their potentialities as human scale architectures, spatially more fair and economically collaborative.
