Descrição: This paper discusses contemporary collective housing based on an understanding of the postmodern concept, and its differences and similarities to some early expressions of the modern movement. To this effect, this paper establishes the differences between the superficiality of modernism's stylistic positions to understand its fundamental reasons, which are associated with today's society or the post-industrial (postmodern) society. Studies include works by David Harvey, Frederic Jamenson, Mike Featherstone, Andreas Huyssen, and Lyotard, who historically organized the principles of the late 20th century's great dilemma: the transition from the modern to the postmodern (as a system of production, culture, information, etc.). This transition is not as simple as is usually claimed, and it can hold the key to our contemporary dilemmas. If we were modern and did not close the full cycle of modernity, how could we be postmodern? Collective and social housing exacerbate this paradox. If we do not effectively address this issue, this debate will remain shallow.
