A reabilitação do primeiro edifício em altura de Manaus como habitação social

Abstract

The right to decent housing, considered one of the universal human rights, is still the subject of several discussions and the subject of the struggle of population interests and political debates. Social Housing, those with the purpose of promoting this right to the low-income population, is something recently instituted in Brazil, as it became a consensus only between the 1930’s and 1940’s, that State intervention was necessary in this social problem, according to Bonduki (1994). Inhabitant goes beyond decent housing when considered in the surrounding area and its urban insertion, which requires the implementation of social facilities for access and quality of life for the population in its proximity. The downtown of Manaus, after the processes of urbanization and property speculation, went through a process of emptying and socio-spatial segregation, but it remains as a nodal point in the capital. In this way, the objective is to propose Social Housing with 128 housing units with a rehabilitation of the first tall building in Manaus, built in 1953, in a state of underutilization, located in the Historic Center, to provide the quality of life deserved the population.
