Bases teóricas e metodológicas para o estudo da relação entre fachadas, localização e realidade socioeconômica em edificações multifamiliares verticais

Abstract

This study establishes the theoretical and methodological foundations for investigating how the facades and location of vertical multi-family buildings reflect the socioeconomic reality of their residents. The general objective was to systematize an analytical approach to correlate architectural attributes and urban location with the social and economic profile of the population, aiming to identify urban patterns, understand the effects of location on access to infrastructure, and investigate the impact of urban legislation. The methodology is characterized as applied research of a methodological nature, grounded in the principles of social research and Post-Occupancy Evaluation (POE). It proposes the use of mixed instruments (qualitative and quantitative) for data collection through socioeconomic forms, integrating the typological analysis of facades. The theoretical framework explores concepts of urbanization and segregation, highlighting how architecture acts as a symbol of power and perpetuates socio-spatial inequalities. It is concluded that the formulation of this methodology offers essential technical support for urban planning and the formulation of more equitable housing public policies, promoting social integration and equal access to the city.
