Public facility centers were built at every housing estate as a background for a quality life, but they are not given much attention nowadays. At the same time, their central location, certain architectural qualities and load-bearing structure are good input attributes for the site's development. In my diploma thesis, I chose one such complex in Brno-Řečkovice to show on how to revitalize such objects. I make it a full-fledged part of the city district and at the same time a space that cerate its center.

O propósito desta pesquisa é uma análise da metodologia projetual da arquitetura de interesse social tomando como objeto de estudo o projeto do conjunto residencial Jardim Edith de autoria dos escritórios MMBB Arquitetos e Hereñú e Ferroni Arquitetos. O objetivo deste procedimento é identificar os principais problemas, desafios e limitações na área de habitação popular, analisando os parâmetros projetuais através do critério de interação com o meio urbano, durabilidade e qualidade arquitetônica. O trabalho procura analisar a trajetória do projeto desde sua primeira fase até a proposta final. Para este fim divide-se o estudo em quatro partes dedicadas às quatro versões principais que foram elaborados entre 2008 e 2013. A análise de cada uma delas é submetida aos mesmos critérios, que correspondem às escalas diferentes do projeto, como: organização das quadras, tipologia dos blocos residenciais, unidades habitacionais, áreas de uso coletivo, composição arquitetônica e qualidade estética. O passo final consiste na criação de um quadro síntese, que inclui as informações essenciais sobre cada versão do projeto, estabelecendo uma forma de resumo do processo projetual e mostrando sua evolução no tempo. O conjunto residencial Jardim Edith é decerto um marco importante na discussão sobre habitação de interesse social, um exemplo da arquitetura econômica, resistente que usa os recursos simples sem comprometer os valores estéticos do projeto. / The purpose of this dissertation is to analyze the methodology of social housing architecture taking as an object of study the project of the residential complex Jardim Edith designed by MMBB Arquitetos and Hereñú e Ferroni Arquitetos. The objective of this procedure is to identify the main problems, challenges and limitations in social housing design, analyzing the parameters such as interaction with the urban environment, durability and architectural quality. The research analyzes the trajectory of the project from its first stage to the final proposal. For this purpose the study is divided into four parts addressing the four main versions developed between 2008 and 2013. The analysis of each of them is subject to the same criteria that correspond to the different scales of the project: organization of the plot, typology of residential blocks, housing units, public spaces, architectural composition and aesthetic quality. The final step is to create a table that includes the essential information about each version of the project as a form of summary of the design process and its evolution over time. The residential complex Jardim Edith is certainly an important milestone in the discussion about social housing and it is an example of economic, resistant architecture that uses simple resources without compromising the aesthetic values.

Being concerned with the questions of housing is one of the priorities of each society. Housing develops with reference to traditions, geographical conditions and it is subject to economic level of a society. The aim of doctoral thesis is to analyze the approaches to architectonic dwelling production. This is based on investigation and analysis of the particular buildings in the chosen historical periods of society. The analysis of the dwelling architecture in individual historical periods of society development should contribute to clarification of the dwelling architecture conception, clarifying which urbanistic, functional and constructional approaches contribute to creating a well operating housing complex or dwelling-house. Thanks to the analysis and understanding the dwelling construction building-up of the last hundred years we can define the positive and negative principles of designing dwelling constructions proved with the benefit of hindsight. It is not the aim to solve the contemporary insufficiency in dwelling design simply by returning to principles which came into existence under different social, economic and technical circumstances. However, we can learn from those principles and try to employ them when answering the up-to-date problematic questions of housing. The principles should be contemporary, in accordance with present society and technical advance, local traditions and geographical givenness of the Czech Republic.
