Estudo preliminar de habitações de interesse social para a Comunidade Rosa Mística em Campina Grande-PB.

Abstract

Brazil is currently experiencing a large-scale housing crisis, with a deficit of approximately 5.9 million homes. In order to address these issues, the federal government has been working since 2009 with programs such as Minha Casa Minha Vida, aimed at producing social housing for this segment of the population. However, by employing a mass production ideology and applying the same techniques and materials across all Brazilian states, the result has been homes lacking in identity and comfort, ignoring physical, regional, and climatic factors such as air temperature variations, relative humidity, and wind direction. Consequently, the residences intended for the poorest segments of the population are the most susceptible to the climate changes that have been observed. Additionally, many of these homes, resulting from irregular land subdivisions, cluster in areas of environmental risk due to a lack of space and urban policies focused on profit. This situation can be seen in the Rosa Mística community, which has grown along a watercourse, the Riacho das Piabas, where around 110 families live at the mercy of floods and diseases. Considering the high number of families in risk situations, the deficit of quality housing, and the need for resettlement of these families, this work aims to provide a project for a set of social housing in Campina Grande-PB, with the objective of sheltering families in risk situations, applying comfort strategies and good urban integration that ensure quality of life and dignity for the residents of the community.
