O projeto social arquitetura na periferia : sua trajetória e participação das mulheres

Abstract

This monograph presents a case study on the social project Architecture in the Periphery. This paper aims to analyze the trajectory of the social project Architecture in the Periphery, showing the vision of the women involved and the results achieved. In turn, it presents the following specific objectives: evidence the perception of women participating in the Architecture in the Periphery project in relation to the project's unfolding in their daily lives; rescue the process of creating the project and analyze its results, from the vision of its creators; and analyze the extent to which the project is promoted for women participating in reflections on the right to housing and public housing policies. For the theoretical development of the work, a brief historical approach was made to the inequalities faced by women in Brazil and in the world, as well as their conquered rights. In addition, the challenge of gender equity was addressed today, in the face of inequalities faced by women in daily life and by feminist social movements, as in the sexual division of labor and in politics. A brief approach is also made on the right to housing in Brazil and the struggle of social movements for decent housing. The approach used was qualitative research, based on authors such as (REY, 2005) and the case study method of (YIN, 2001). Content analyzes were carried out, through categorization, in three axes of analysis. The first axis refers to the process of creating the Architecture in the Periphery project and its results, the second axis refers to the perception of the women participating in the Architecture in the Periphery project, while the third axis refers to the promotion of women participating in the project regarding reflections on the right to housing. Finally, the final considerations are presented, in which it was observed that the Architecture in the Periphery project expanded the actions developed, started to benefit more women, with the creation of new groups. It also expanded its coverage area to other municipalities and expanded the project team, which currently works with an interdisciplinary team. It was possible to perceive that the participating women have the perception of transformation in their lives when participating in the project, as the project provides self-confidence and autonomy for the participants. In addition, it was seen that the women participating in the project have a history of fighting for housing and live without the support of public policies for decent housing.
