La manzana y la vivienda en la construcción del espacio urbano

The logic of production of residential fabric in intermediate cities, from private interventions in independent lots that make up the block, delimit the framework of research presented, in order to enhance the possibility of generating a quality urban space, in its programmatic, spatial and morphological aspects. It is proposed, from project research, a double approach to the problem, from rethinking the typology of the block and its relationship with semi-public and private public spaces, and to investigate the forms of collective housing production that are articulated with the construction logics of the urban form. It is an ordering system of general structures and parts, where the result of everything is more important than that of each part, respecting the subdivision of the existing land in each chosen city. The methodology enables theoretical elaboration and the study of cases, with the project as a generator of verification instances and as a tool for validating the working hypotheses. The study is given in relation to the existing city and based on case studies in different intermediate cities in the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina.
