Cómo se vive la vivienda mínima en tiempos de COVID-19: Apuntes para su diseño y construcción

Abstract

From the global pandemic due to the Sars Cov 2 virus and its disease COVID-19, the urgent task of reviewing the policies that converge on the health issues and are found in public health has emerged. The architectural urban design and the construction of cities have been put on the table for discussion with topics such as the ability to be lived based on the new health requirements. The case of the new minimum housing complexes is of particular importance. Certainly there are studies that try to make visible the conditions of the minimum housing and its equally minimal urban complex, and all of them point to different problems that today it is worth studying the light of the living conditions and habitability they offer to face of the global pandemic. The objective of this work is to characterize the living conditions and habitability of the minimum dwelling, in a contrast between the original design and construction conditions and the adaptations of its inhabitants, to which the changes due to times of pandemic are added. It is a problem that originates in housing and that transcends the urban space, therefore it is a priority to ensure that they are healthy and sanitary in their different scales, form the house to the urban complex and the city, which reveals a new reality to attend to from origin.
