| Abstract | |
For decades Brazil has been trying to solve the problem of housing shortage through a modernist strategy of standardized types and uninteresting urban sitting, which has resulted, most often, in low spatial quality public spaces, with lack of variation and gradation between public and private areas to allow the creation of supportive communities in large low-income housing developments. In this context, adopting a structuralist thought, this thesis aims at proposing a design method for the development of urban sitting in low-income housing developments that allows the creation of common open spaces and recreational areas with more diversity. The work begins with an analysis of some low-income housing designs in Brazil and abroad, identifying their main characteristics in terms of urban design, through the inference of composition rules, using the Shape Grammar formalism, developed by Stiny and Gips. The research included a survey of applications of parametric and generative design in the development of low-income housing developments, in the contexts of research and design teaching. Finally, teaching experiments using Shape Grammar and physical models as a design method for urban design of low-income housing were carried out. The use of the adopted methods contributed to the creation of compositions with higher diversity and spatial quality, which was proven by means of questionnaires administered to participating students and the evaluation of experts. It is hoped that this work will provide guidelines for the introduction of new design methods in the teaching and development of housing developments (AU) | |
