Abstract:Resumoesquisas têm demonstrado que os projetos de habitação de interesse social (HIS) desenvolvidos no Brasil não têm atendido às reais necessidades dos usuários, o que acarreta inúmeras adaptações e ampliações, que implicam dispêndio de recursos financeiros, já bastante escassos para essa camada da população, e prejuízos à qualidade da habitação. Este artigo apresenta resultados de uma pesquisa cujo objetivo foi verificar a aplicabilidade da Customização em Massa (CM), utilizada pela indústria de manufatura p… Show more
“…These companies prefer cheaper land on the outskirts of cities to increase profits. Similarly, the standardization of designs re-using pre-approved unit designs in several developments has become common practice [21,23]. This standardization can be seen in the examples of newly built house units shown in Figure 1.…”

“…For houses, the minimum area is 36 m 2 if the laundry area is outside or 38 m 2 if the laundry area is inside the house [30]. Since private developers have increased decision power in unit design, they usually have a single unit design that is repeated throughout the development, and even in several different sites, without considering the diverse needs of end-users [21,23,31,32]. It is expected that families will expand their houses after occupancy.…”

“…They are a consequence of a minimalistic mass-production approach and the lack of interest in the demand during the production process. Families are only selected and assigned to units at the end of the process [31,32,34]. In this context, the families start making changes and expanding their units to satisfy their needs and build spaces for activities to complement their income.…”

“…The lowest income range does not have this market-oriented logic. Only a few studies explore mass customization in social housing programs for the lowest income range, such as [23,26,34,49,50]. These studies consider the benefits that mass customization could bring and some directions for its implementation.…”

“…Parallel to this are challenges related to the programs' budget and the regulation of the initial housing units. Some studies indicate potential paths to mass customize the initial unit in this context [23,34]. However, legislation currently regulates the number and type of rooms that each unit must have, as well as the types of materials that must be used, which leaves little room for customization [26].…”

Social housing customization in Brazil refers to the current processes of development and evolution of government-funded neighborhoods for the lowest-income population. The mass production of small housing units that do not satisfy family needs instigates a self-design and self-construction process post-occupancy to customize the units. Ultimately, these changes to the units bring unintended negative consequences for the families and the city. In this context, mass customization is seen as an alternative to address some of the problems related to unit design.
