DALLA DEMOLIZIONE ALLA TRASFORMAZIONE TRA PASSATO, PRESENTE E FUTURO: ipotesi d'intervento sull'edilizia popolare in Cile.

In Chile, in the second half of the twentieth century, the Urbanism and Housing Ministry’s policy for financing social housing profoundly characterized the development of the country, promoting the practice of "more with less". Looking for quantity, or the reduction of the housing deficit, with the least possible expenses. A philosophy and strategy that led to the drastic deterioration of living standards, catapulting large numbers of people from small illegal camps, often rural, to large, peripheral and modern conjuntos habitacionales. Residential conglomerates built with identical and repeated large-scale building models: the Bloques. The Bloque C is the emblem of the politics of the '80s and' 90s in Chile, with the peculiarity of being a symbol, a landmark that has led to distinctly set apart the Chilean housing policy in a before and an after.
