Inhabitants’ response to the lack of solutions from the authorities is automatic: they take charge and give solutions through the self-construction of a spontaneous, informal city, born out of everyday needs and limited resources. Through case studies in Lima (Peru), this article analysis the sources of inspiration for this informal architecture, identifies with the term “huachafa”, it’s processes of creation, and the ways in which it multiplies. We conclude that references can be found in architectonic elements of projects built in formal neighbourhoods, and in traditional environments. We aim to establish a relationship between formal aspects, and social and cultural realms, throughout the evolution of huachafo housing. Keywords: Self-construction, informality, housing. Los recientes fenómenos de crecimiento urbano acelerado tienen un impacto muchas veces violento en la imagen de la ciudad. La respuesta de los habitantes frente a la falta de pronta respuesta por parte de las autoridades es automática: son ellos quienes se encargan de dar soluciones a través de la autoconstrucción de una ciudad espontánea, informal, que nace de necesidades cotidianas y recursos limitados. Por medio del estudio de casos en Lima (Perú), el presente artículo estudia las fuentes de inspiración de esta arquitectura informal, identificada con el término “huachafa”, los procesos de creación de la misma y las maneras en cómo esta se multiplica. Se concluye que los referentes proceden de elementos arquitectónicos de proyectos realizados en barrios ya establecidos y de culturas tradicionales, sin dejar de lado aspectos de originalidad. Se logra trazar una relación entre aspectos formales y ámbitos sociales y culturales, durante la evolución de la vivienda huachafa. Palabras Clave: Autoconstrucción, informalidad, vivienda.  Unisinos 2018-11-28 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/arquitetura/article/view/arq.2019.152.05 10.4013/arq.2019.152.05 Arquitetura Revista; v. 15 n. 2 (2019): Jul-Dez; 291-311 1808-5741 spa https://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/arquitetura/article/view/arq.2019.152.05/60747129
