Social Housing was the topic of one of the architecture studio classes I taught, during the fall 2010 semester at CEDIM in Monterrey, Mexico. This class was taught to 9th semester students, and was their final architectural studio class before they begin their thesis projects. Our client was the Instituto de la Vivienda de Nuevo León, the regional housing authority. The students began by researching case studies globally and visiting existing local projects which they documented with photos and interviews with the residents. For many it was the first time they had visited these types of homes, and the experience proved to be valuable. After reflecting on what aspects were successful and which needed improvement, they began to develop their own design proposals. Among the class different typologies were explored, such as single family homes, duplexes, and condominiums. Research and documentation of case studies and their own design development process were shared via a class blog that I set up at the beginning of the semester. The collection of the students’ final proposals was presented to the client both as an exhibition gallery and as a bound book.
