Relationship Between Activity and Generic Spaces in a Housing Complex in the Calandaima Sector, Kennedy

This research evaluates the relationship between activity and generic space in shaping habitable space within a housing cluster. It begins by recognizing the progressive growth of self-managed housing in popular architecture through a three-phase study: recognition of the place and dynamics of the Calandaima, Kennedy sector; relationship and interpretation of variables based on four architectural references (Casa Funenhof, SIE Home 21, Edificio Celosía, and Gifu Kitagata); and finally, proposing principles and compositional rules that contribute to the design of a housing cluster through the link between the development of activities, the programmatic, and the generic. The process allowed us to demonstrate that, as a design strategy, modulation enables spaces to acquire a dynamic character, valuing generic space as a free space that does not necessarily have a defined configuration, allowing activities carried out by the inhabitant to take place in these spaces, either in the dwelling or in the building as a whole.
