Abstract

The issue of housing and the paradigms related to human dwelling in the
contemporary world have been a recurrent topic in the 21st century architectural scenario;
therefore, it is necessary to understand them as fundamental elements in the structuring of
cities. This issue is even more relevant when we consider low-income housing and its impact
on the life quality of people and, therefore, of Brazilian cities. This paper presents part of
the results of a PhD research that used the Shape Grammar formalism and the parametric
modeling approach as methods for the generation of public spaces in low-income housing
developments in Brazil. The research assumed that these methods could contribute to the
generation of a broader number of design alternative solutions. Aiming to test the proposed
method, three workshops were offered to the University of Campinas Architecture and Urban
Design students. Each workshop focused on a different design scale: (1) urban design, (2) site
planning of the complex and (3) spatial relations between buildings and open spaces. In this
paper the results of the first workshop, titled Parametric Urban Design, are described.
