The present study focuses on the architectural production of socialhousing in Portugal, on the framework of Casas de Renda Económica andCasas dos Pescadores, programmes included on the state organism of«Habitações Económicas» - Federação de Caixas de Previdência [HE], inthe mid 20th century, having as its base project the residential area of lowincome economic houses of Santa Maria and the residential area ofPescadores da Prageira, in Peniche, and built at the starts of the 70s, bothprojected by Vítor Figueiredo. The historical framework of this organism,the motivations for its foundations and its development in Portugal, alongwith the historic and sociographic study of Peniche at the time of buildingthe housing complex, are vital for a better understanding of the studyobjects.On the other hand, it is relevant and required, to fully understandthe architectural answer of Vítor Figueiredo in both residential areas, toget to know, in a deeper sense, his vision, interpretation and reasoningprinciples in the production of architecture of social nature.The reason for choosing these objects in this research is the opportunityof studying two projects in the same city, for the same organism andby the same architect but for different realities. The way as the constructionworks were handled by the residents, as well as the study, analysis anddocumental interpretation of these housing complexes projects, is the actualaim of this research. With the analysis of the social characterization ofeach residential area, it is intended to understand the social impact in thebuilding of the complexes and its architectural solutions.
