Design and planning of prototype of state-subsidized dwelling in communities: case study

Abstract

The present article exposes the research findings oriented to the design and planning of state-subsidized dwelling, embedded in low-income communities. The problems reside in designing habitational models, from appraising the level of thermic comfort in homes. The scientific question is centered on the feasibility of laying plans and planning, assuming the habitational reality, houses fulfilling social requirements, embedded requirements in low-income communities. About the resolution method in this work, based on investigations such as the exploratory and qualitative, in addition to the case study. Scientific methods are adopted like analysis and bibliographic synthesis, method of experts, empiric methods, method of the dialectic contradictions. The field work demonstrated that the present-day design passes beyond the limits of thermic comfort; The standard building material of the houses of social interest, show high thermal transfer, the perception of the people of the locality they denote a comfort when houses are wooden constructed. Furthermore, it is managed to establish a new concept for the creation of architectonic spaces of adequate levels of comfort. The bio-climatic significance resides in the criteria embraced for the elaboration of the new prototype of state-subsidized dwelling, the analyzed variables, concepts on architecture, and designing strategies, achieving solving as much in what's functional, reliable and constructively.
