(Re) habitar para (re) viver: estudo de viabilidade de reabilitação do edifício São Carlos para habitação de interesse social

Abstract

The problem of the housing deficit, characterized by insufficient housing to meet the basic right to housing, is alarming in Brazil, presenting itself as a significant challenge. Among the main components of this deficit are the excessive burden of rent, precarious/improvised housing and cohabitation. Both nationally and in the city of Aracaju, the situation is worrying, contrasting with the presence of thousands of empty or underused buildings, especially in central urban areas. Given this context, this study aims to guide the feasibility of rehabilitating idle buildings as a strategy to mitigate the housing problem, seeking to discuss and analyze issues related to the housing deficit, with a special focus on the city of Aracaju/SE. As part of this work, a feasibility study was carried out on the rehabilitation of the São Carlos Building, located in Praça Fausto Cardoso, Centro neighborhood of the capital of Sergipe. To this end, bibliographical research, field visits and the use of software such as Revit were carried out to carry out the study, in order to support and substantiate the analyzes and proposals presented.
