| Abstract | |
This thesis deals with the housing production in São Paulo and Buenos Aires within a context established in Latin American countries between the 1930s and 1960s, in which a series of conditions enabled social housing to be constructed in a perspective of large-scale production. The decades of the 1940s and 1950s are defined as periods of study based on approximations between São Paulo and Buenos Aires in the processes of configuration as metropolis. It is proposed to understand, on the one hand, the specificities of the institutionalization of housing production by the Brazilian and Argentine states and, on the other hand, the role of architecture professionals linked to this production. The research was supported by bibliographic, documentary and iconographic sources and, as an approach, is associated to works that bring an effort to reflect on a new Latin American perspective, understanding that the housing issue in the period in question and the solutions proposed for it are not exhausted at the national level. The socio-political contexts in Brazil and Argentina are studied in relation to the process of institutionalization of housing production and to the approach of governments and working population, to which housing policies were directed. The spaces of articulation between professionals of architecture in Latin America in the first decades of the twentieth century are analyzed in order to unveil the debate on the housing question. The processes of urbanization and development of São Paulo and Buenos Aires are related to the politics and the housing production of the respective countries. Considering this set of aspects, the housing projects are examined, by highlighting the approximations and specificities of large-scale or massive production in the two cities. Differences in the conception of housing policy and the state apparatus, the different links between architecture professionals and the State, as well as the differences in urban occupation and urbanization processes in the two cities, meant that the prospect of large-scale production were materialized in different ways in Sao Paulo and Buenos Aires.
