En Latinoamérica la autoconstrucción es un hecho de gran extensión y diversidad, que en el caso del hábitat popular pierde su carácter de excepción para pasar a ser en algunos países vía mayoritaria de producción del hábitat. En la ejecución de estos alojamientos se emplean tecnologías tradicionales o adaptaciones de métodos y sistemas formales. Sin embargo, en opinión de los autores, podrían utilizarse tecnologías aun más apropiadas para este ámbito. Los componentes y productos no pueden ser independientes de los procesos. Las necesidades de mejoramiento del hábitat popular explican el volumen constante, creciente y muy considerable de la demanda de materias primas y de componentes neutros de construcción. Los propios usuarios señalan algunos de los requerimientos de estas tecnologías: materiales asequibles de poco peso y manejables. Por otra parte, existe una pléyade de microtalleres o gérmenes industriales locales con experiencia adquirida y vocación de crecer. Quizás sea el momento de señalar aportes válidos de entidades o de profesionales que partiendo de componentes neutros, tangibles y asequibles, mediante acoples o ensambles sencillos aportan soluciones tecnificadas, capaces de convertirse en prácticas de referencia para la construcción del hábitat popular en el entorno latinoamericano.

Self-help construction is a popular and diverse practice in Latin America. In the case of low income housing, in some countries self-help construction loses its condition of exception to become the main form of housing production. Different technologies or adaptations of formal procedures are used when building these units. However, the authors of this research pose that there are more suitable techniques that could be adopted. Components and products cannot work independently from processes. The need for improvement of low-income housing explains the constant, growing and considerable demand for raw materials and neutral construction materials. Users themselves point out some of the requirements of these technologies: materials that are affordable, lightweight and easy to handle. Moreover, there is a large number of local microworkshops or small productive centers attempting to make a step forward. This may be the time to acknowledge contributions from entities or individual professionals which through neutral, tangible and affordable elements, and by means of simple assemblies, provide highly technical solutions with the potential to become cornerstone practices for the construction of low-income housing in Latin America. |
