Estudo da arquitetura residencial modernista: o Bairro do Filipinho

Abstract

The Filipinho residential group was build between the years 1949 and 1950 by the IAPC, with the purpose to shelter, primarily, merchants and their families. This modern residential complex punctuated a new period in the field of popular housing, which was not only marked by the use of new techniques and materials, but mainly for its sustainability and humanitarian character. However, unfortunately, this new way of thinking about housing for workers was not carried forward. Currently, the era of the residential complexes of the Minha Casa Minha Vida Program is marked by the lack of comfort and socio-spatial segregation of the poorest. Thus, given its importance and uniqueness, it is of great use to tell the story of Filipinho. The objective of this study is to prepare a study on modern architecture in St. Louis, focusing on Filipinho Barrio - describing the political, economic, social and cultural context in which it was inserted its construction, analyzing their projective and constructive aspects, typology architectural and urban pattern, to finally compare it with other sets of the city. For this, historical research, visits to the neighborhood, photographic surveys, interviews with residents, thematic maps and an analytical and comparative study were carried out.
