The predominant uses of each room within the self-built and modified houses were represented in ground plan, based on empirical observation, surveys with dwellers and the use of analytical procedures of morphologic analysis of nature predominantly geometric (specific) and topology (space syntax analysis). A scale of priorities was identified in relation to the uses of each room, its geometrical arrangement (adjacency, front/back relations etc), and underlying structures (connectivity, depth and spatial integration) in order to establish congruencies and non-congruencies between a social-cultural order embedded in the self-built domestic space and the design logic contained in the houses offered by official agencies. The comparative analysis points towards the convivial existence of two tendencies: one that seems to reinforce a design logic inasmuch as the additions and modifications performed by the dwellers do not alter but even emphasize the original configuration of the designed houses, and another one in which those patterns are subverted in accordance with a logic which, to a lesser or greater degree, coincides with that of the self-built dwellings / O trabalho que se prop?e apresentar visa ampliar o conhecimento sobre modos de apropria??o e usos do espa?o em moradias de baixo custo em Parnamirim, RN, atrav?s de estudo morfol?gico comparativo dos arranjos e articula??es espaciais em tr?s casos de manifesta??es configuracionais distintas, mas inter-relacionadas, de habita??o social: (1) um conjunto de 21 moradias autoconstru?das em vias e terrenos irregulares de loteamento inicialmente projetado para parque industrial; (2) a casa projetada por profissional arquiteto e constru?da pelo poder p?blico para abrigar as 21 (e outras) fam?lias ocupantes das moradias autoconstru?das; e (3) altera??es realizadas pelos moradores nas casas constru?das pelo poder p?blico, ap?s um ano de ocupa??o, no total de 24 casas. Foram representados, em planta baixa, os usos predominantes de cada ambiente componente das moradias autoconstru?das e casas novas-transformadas, atrav?s de observa??es emp?ricas e de entrevistas com os moradores, e aplicados procedimentos de an?lise morfol?gica de natureza predominantemente geom?trica (espec?ficos) e topol?gica (an?lise sint?tica do espa?o). Buscou-se identificar uma escala de prioridades quanto ? disponibilidade e usos de cada ambiente, seu arranjo (rela??es de adjac?ncias, frente/fundos etc) e a estrutura subjacente a esses arranjos (conectividade, profundidade e integra??o espacial) visando estabelecer congru?ncias e incongru?ncias entre a l?gica sociocultural embutida no espa?o dom?stico autoconstru?do e a l?gica projetual das casas oferecidas pelo poder p?blico. A an?lise comparativa aponta a conviv?ncia de duas tend?ncias: uma que parece refor?ar a l?gica projetual, na medida em que os acr?scimos e mudan?as feitos pelos moradores n?o alteram, antes intensificam, os padr?es de arranjo e configura??o original das casas projetadas; e outra na qual esses padr?es s?o subvertidos segundo uma l?gica que se aproxima, em menor ou maior grau, das moradias autoconstru?das
