dc.description.abstract | Social housing is often viewed as a pocket for the urban environment deterioration. It is typically designed with a sense of uncertainty as public and real estate policies have developed two strategies to deal with such projects; to reduce or to displace. Public criticism about social housing claims that it is incapable of embracing context, composition and the economy of its surroundings. Thus, various social housing projects were marginalized while pushing its unfortunate residents away from the city’s center. However, if social housing was addressed contextually rather than socially, it will allow for a more appropriate prototyping that mobiles the social market while allowing its residents to navigate the city creating an opportunity for investment and revitalization. | |
