Zusammenfassung:This case study explores the progressive development of social housing projects in the city of Palmira (Colombia) between 2000 and 2017. Here particular attention is paid to aesthetic parameters through three main concepts: perception, form and function. The methodological approach brought together four qualitative tools for data gathering and analysis: document review, field observations (field diaries, notes and photographic record); interviews (with users representatives of constructors and public servants), and; the development of urban profiles. The findings suggest that social housing units constitute an unfinished project, that, shaped by the subjectivity of their inhabitants’, generates conflict with public spaces. Despite their diversity, the interventions follow identifiable patterns, commonly linked to inadequacies in the original designs.
