Habitar o centro: intervenção em preexistência e moradia social

Abstract

The accelerated urbanization and expansion process of Brazilian cities have brought about considerable challenges, among which the shortage of adequate housing stands out, especially for the economically disadvantaged population. Although social housing programs represent a significant advancement, they are often implemented on the outskirts of cities, contributing to the process of peripheralization. In Goiânia, in addition to these issues, there is a growing depopulation of the city center, where there are not only many properties available for rent but also a significant number of vacant buildings. In light of this scenario, this study aims to propose the reuse of one of these buildings for social housing purposes, in a way that is less harmful to the environment and enables the integration of residents into a strategic area equipped with consolidated urban infrastructure. The methodology adopted is based on a bibliographic review of the subject, covering the history of social housing in Brazil and in Goiânia, a study of the city center with a quantitative survey of unoccupied buildings, analyses of the intervention site, and the development of a needs program to support the architectural project. The search for case studies related to building requalification helps to build references that connect the two main thematic axes: social housing and intervention in pre-existing structures. The expected contribution is not only to provide housing and urban inclusion for families but also to address the depopulation of the city center and preserve its architectural memory.
