The number of vulnerable people in the city of São Paulo, Brazil, increased by 31% after the pandemic and crises. The project carried out with the aim of sheltering homeless people, offering spaces of safety, cleanliness and comfort.

Popis projektu

Made from modules that allow different combinations, providing flexibility and adaptability in the construction of shelters. In addition, the use of sustainable and fast construction materials helps to make the project more efficient and accessible. The modules were designed to adapt to any lot, of the most varied types, such as ground floors and the blank sidewalls of buildings that emerges and disappears as new developments come and go of the large buildings in the city of São Paulo.

MINIMUM HOUSING FOR HOMELESS PEOPLE

This project addresses the pressing issue of homelessness in São Paulo by proposing a modular housing solution that is both adaptable and sustainable. The design utilizes CLT wood panels and Alocobuco coating boards, creating structures that can be assembled in various configurations to fit different urban contexts, including vacant lots and building sidewalls. The modular approach allows for flexibility in deployment, catering to the dynamic nature of urban development. A notable feature is the integration of a metallic scaffolding system that supports the modules, facilitating vertical and horizontal circulation. This design not only maximizes space utilization but also ensures accessibility and safety for residents. The use of sustainable materials and rapid construction methods enhances the project's feasibility and environmental friendliness. While the conceptual framework is strong, further development in architectural detailing and spatial articulation would enhance the project's impact. Detailed plans illustrating interior layouts, material finishes, and user experience considerations would provide a more comprehensive understanding of the design's functionality and livability. Overall, "MINIMUM HOUSING FOR HOMELESS PEOPLE" presents a commendable effort to provide dignified and adaptable shelter solutions for vulnerable populations. With additional refinement, it holds the potential to serve as a model for sustainable and context-sensitive urban housing interventions.
