The contribution presents the results of a three-year research about the regeneration of spontaneous settlements in conditions of social, economic, environmental and technological inadequacy. The research develops within an agreement between the Department of Architecture of the Roma Tre University (Italy) and the Faculty of Architecture, Design and Urbanism of the University of Boyacá in Sogamoso (Colombia). The research was aimed at developing procedural strategies and design solutions capable of regenerating spontaneous settlements. With this aim, a system of solutions for informal and degraded housing has been designed for a total of forty case studies in the urban marginal areas of Sogamoso in Colombia. The strategies adopted contributed to reducing the perception of housing insecurity by increasing the cohesion of the community. The results show the multidisciplinary character and the trans-scalar nature of the research, for favoring integration, for operating on technological reconfiguration, and for involving the local community., Este artículo presenta los resultados de una investigación de tres años sobre la regeneración de asentamientos espontáneos en condiciones de insuficiencia social, económica, ambiental y tecnológica. La investigación se desarrolla dentro de un convenio entre el Departamento de Arquitectura de la Universidad Roma Tre (Italia) y la Facultad de Arquitectura, Diseño y Urbanismo de la Universidad de Boyacá en Sogamoso (Colombia). La investigación desarrolla estrategias procedimentales y presenta soluciones capaces de regenerar asentamientos espontáneos. Con este objetivo, se ha diseñado un sistema de soluciones para vivienda informal, sin estructuras resistentes y degradada para un total de cuarenta casos de estudio en las zonas marginales de Sogamoso. Las estrategias contribuyeron a reducir la percepción de inseguridad habitacional al incrementar la cohesión de la comunidad. Los resultados muestran el carácter multidisciplinar de la investigación, para operar en la reconfiguración tecnológica y para involucrar a la comunidad local.

The aim of the bachelor thesis was to describe social housing for people with mental disorders, especially in the city of Pilsen. In the practical part, the following research questions were answered: 1) What are the possibilities and specifics of social work with people with mental disorders? 2) What is the benefit of social housing from the point of view of clients with mental disorders? For the research, I chose a qualitative research strategy using the method of semi-structured interviews. The first part of the interviews took place with social workers of the City of Pilsen - Department of Affordable Housing and Social Inclusion, the second part of the interviews with tenants of social housing who have been diagnosed with a mental disorder. The research set was created by the method of intentional selection and subsequent data analysis was performed by the coding method. A total of fourteen semi-structured interviews were conducted, five with social workers and twelve with clients. The research part showed that all communication partners from the ranks of clients lived in precarious housing conditions before moving into a social apartment, all of them showed repeated moving, especially after substandard forms of housing. This situation often worsened their mental state, and most of them were regularly hospitalized in psychiatric hospitals. The most common reasons for the absence of long-term stable housing presented by communication partners were poor financial situation, mental health problems and poor social ties. After moving into a social apartment, all communication partners managed to keep housing with the support of a social worker free of rent, and almost all of them had a long-term health condition. They all live in a social apartment for more than one year. The bachelor's thesis can be beneficial for social workers who, in the exercise of their profession, meet people with mental disorders suffering from housing deprivation. It could also be an inspiration for municipalities considering the introduction of social housing.

[ES] Hay una manzana vacía en Valencia, en el barrio portuario de El Grao, al lado de las Atarazanas. Se te ocurre que la manzana podría utilizarse para construir un edificio de apartamentos adaptado a tus necesidades y deseos. Es tu ciudad y tienes la oportunidad de influir en como es, adaptando el área a tu estilo de vida. Formas equipo con otras personas de ideas afines y, en lugar de que cada uno busque un apartamento propio, os unís y formáis una cooperativa de viviendas.¿ El diseño de una cooperativa de viviendas es un proceso colectivo, que nace de una necesidad, que se debate y que se construye. Este trabajo final de máster en arquitectura no surge de la necesidad, se debate pero no con sus habitantes sino con compañeros, profesores y amigos. Tampoco se construirá, pero se desarrolla para estar listo para serlo., [EN] “There is an empty block in Valencia, in the port neighborhood of El Grao, next to the Atarazanas. You have the idea that the block could be used to build an apartment building in line with your needs and desires. It is your city and you have the opportunity to influence how it is, adapting the area to your lifestyle. You team up with other like-minded people and instead of each of you looking for an apartment of your own, you come together and create a housing cooperative.” The design of a housing cooperative is a collective process, born out of necessity, debated and built. This Master thesis in Architecture does not arise out of necessity, it is not debated with its inhabitants but with colleagues, teachers and friends. Neither will it be built, but it is developed to be ready.

[EN] Design project for the buildings and services of a cooperative housing in the Valencian district of El Cabanyal. This project seeks the regeneration of the urban and social fabric of the neighborhood through a spread implementation system and the reaffirmation of housing as a political subject, as well as a tool for social inclusion. It addresses the reflection around the cooperative housing, through the exploration in the program of the public-private and collective-individual binomials, as well as the speculation around the design of the house through the subjects of the adaptability, flexibility and gender perspective, applied to the contemporary context. All this, under principles of environmental sustainability and energy efficiency based on the bioclimatic and constructive tradition of Cabanyal., [CA] Projecte de disseny dels edificis i serveis d'una cooperativa d'habitatge en règim de cessió d'ús al barri valencià del Cabanyal. Aquest projecte busca la regeneració del teixit urbà i social del barri a través d'un sistema d'implantació disgregat i la reafirmació de l'habitatge com un subjecte polític, així com una eina d'inclusió social. Aborda la reflexió al voltant de l'habitar cooperatiu, mitjançant l'exploració en el programa dels binomis públic-privat i col·lectiu-individual, així com l'especulació al voltant del disseny de l'habitatge a través dels subjectes de l'adaptabilitat, flexibilitat i perspectiva de gènere, aplicats al context contemporani.

Este proyecto actúa en el tejido urbano y social del barrio a través de un sis- tema de implantación disgregado y un pro- grama mixto residencial y de usos colecti- vos. Se basa en la concepción de la vivienda como un sujeto político, así como de inclu- sión social. El trabajo reflexiona alrededor del habitar cooperativo, mediante una exploración de los binomios público-privado, comunita- rio-individual o exterior-interior. También especula diferentes posibilidades alrededor del diseño de la vivienda a través de la adap- tabilidad, flexibilidad y perspectiva de gé- nero, aplicados al contexto contemporáneo.

Los esfuerzos que despliega la ciudad de Barcelona para enfrentar la emergencia habitacional parecen condicionados por tres elementos que estructuran la política de vivienda: a) la difícil traducción política del carácter social y económico de la vivienda, b) el privilegio concedido por las políticas nacionales a los agentes inmobiliarios-financieros, lo que motiva la precarización de los inquilinos y c) el insuficiente parque público de viviendas, que se traduce en una demanda ciudadana que sobrepasa la capacidad de gestión municipal. Poniendo énfasis en la vivienda bajo régimen de alquiler, nuestro trabajo se propone comprender y explicar cómo regula el Ayuntamiento de Barcelona la política de vivienda y qué posibilidades existen para el despliegue de políticas urbanas alternativas., The efforts of the City of Barcelona to face the housing- emergency context seem conditioned by three elements structuring housing policy: a) the difficulty to translate social and economic attributes of housing into political terms, b) the privilege granted by national policies to real estate and financial agents, motivating the instability of tenants, and c) the insufficient public housing stock that coexists with a citizen’s demand that goes further from municipal capacity of management. Emphasizing housing on a rental basis, our work aims to understand and explain how does the Barcelona City Council regulates housing policy and what possibilities exist for the deployment of alternative urban policies.
