The Housing Units In A Sustainable Context As A Form Of Urban Inserts Applicable To The Quality Of Life

Abstract

To speak about collective housing is always a challenge for architects and urban planners, since this housing profile requires a broad, anthropological, historical and physical study of the place of insertion. And few people are questioning about the surroundings of these buildings, the lives of local residents and how these buildings affected that neighborhood. Within this thought, together with sustainable issues, a theme discussed intensely in recent years, this research emerged. It worked within themes such as the five architectural pillars presented by Le Corbusier and several national and international collective housing, whose buildings were designed by renowned architects and urbanists. And through this study, it was be possible to discover and understand the role of the architect and urbanist as a physical-social modifying agent of an environment or society, so that the new space generated positively approached the relationship between man and the inhabited environment.
