Overview

To understand the point at which public housing stock in large urban centers finds itself, it is vital to approach the process of generating social housing in all its complexity. The need to respond sustainably to the housing emergency has prompted a rethinking of the strategy to generate housing and, more urgently, social housing. This publication presents and analyzes the various strategies for the development and construction of social housing carried out in recent years by the municipal administration in the city of Barcelona. It selects a series of projects that exemplify the maximum number of working methodologies, briefs and innovative proposals that also guarantee quality architecture.It is a collective book in which all those involved in the process of gestating and the process of living have a voice. A voice that is materialized in a wide variety of documents: drawings, plans, renderings, photographs, reflections, debates, testimonies... A collection of situations that invite reflection.
