| Résumé: | This paper is derived from research that aims to explore the housing deprivation in informal Colombian urbanizations, as well as to mitigate such an issue by designing a modular, prefabricated and flexible unit. This unit could be combined in different configurations in order to regenerate the urban fabric. The social marginalization characterizing informal urbanizations, the cyclical demographic explosion and the soil consumption have generated in Colombia a qualitative-quantitative housing deficit. Difficulties in accessing the real estate market are due to lack of income which is determined by unemployment. People in poverty are forced to settle in high-risk hydrogeological areas. Furthermore, such occupants jeopardize themselves by building with inadequate materials. The housing requirement clashes with the resources allocated by the Colombian state, which are large but insufficient and fail to answer the housing question and the required quality of life. These conditions lead to both the territorial self-management and the self-construction of houses in accordance with people’s economic resources. The urban fabric generated within the informal city is always characterized by minimal home spaces which are bundled aiming to satisfy the primary need, so that planning and public spaces are absent. This paper details the main phases of the study exploring this reality and comments the key results. |
