Resumo: | This paper develops a deeper look into new residential appropriations of space in marginalized areas of a large Brazilian city, while highlighting the subjective importance of housing and its meaning beyond the idea of shelter. Firstly, it presents a brief history of Rio de Janeiro’s favelas – the local version of slums – and its relationship with vacant land over the past 100 years. Then, it explains the value of self-built housing and its contribution to the consolidation of multiple and hybrid territories, highlighting their subjective character. Lastly, it presents a case study called Portelinha, located in a set of favelas known as the Maré Complex, stressing how this mixed occupation has transformed the local urban fabric, leading to the emergence of what is referred to as an “intramural favela”. This phenomenon consists of the self-construction of a smaller-scale set of houses within the walls of a former factory turned into an industrial void in the 1990s. The analysis shows how this housing appropriation is articulated with other activities, especially cultural ones, leading to a diversity of social actors, alliances and conflicts, turning it into a real disputed territory. Cases like this reflect the challenges with which architects and planners need to deal with when working in the unequal urban contexts that are so common in the Global South. |

Em primeiro lugar, apresenta uma breve história das favelas do Rio de Janeiro e sua relação com as terras desocupadas nos últimos 100 anos. Em seguida, explica o valor da habitação própria e sua contribuição para a consolidação de territórios múltiplos e híbridos, evidenciando seu caráter subjetivo. Por fim, apresenta um estudo de caso chamado Portelinha, localizado em um conjunto de favelas conhecido como Complexo Maré, ressaltando como essa ocupação mista transformou o tecido urbano local, levando ao surgimento do que é chamado de “favela intramural”. Esse fenômeno consiste na autoconstrução de um conjunto de casas de menor escala dentro das paredes de uma antiga fábrica que se transformou em um vazio industrial nos anos 90. A análise mostra como essa apropriação habitacional é articulada com outras atividades, especialmente culturais, levando a uma diversidade de atores sociais, alianças e conflitos, transformando-a em um real território disputado. Casos como esse refletem os desafios com os quais arquitetos e planejadores precisam lidar quando trabalham nos contextos urbanos desiguais que são tão comuns no Sul Global.DINÂMIA'CET-Iscte2018-12-31T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://revistas.rcaap.pt/cct/article/view/14165eng2182-3030Seldin, ClaudiaCanedo, Julianainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2022-09-23T16:02:58Zoai:ojs.revistas.rcaap.pt:article/14165Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T16:04:58.896619Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
