Work, Slums, and Informal Settlement Traditions: Architecture of the Favela Do Telegrafo.

- Abstract
This report proposes patterns, guidelines and principles for use in the design of social housing, derived from the existing "self-help" context of slums in Brazil. It is based on findings from seven years of ethnographic field observation in the Favela Grota de Santo Antonio (2008-2015). The research revealed that the presence of work activities (which generally happen within residences) has greatly modified architectural space within the favela. From a post-neoliberal point of view, the report also offers a global critique of the planning of social housing with regard to issues of labor.
