  • Descrição: Chapter 11 sheds light on the often overlooked segment of Brazilian architecture called assessorias técnicas, which refers to nonprofit consultancies that engage in participatory design for low-income housing. These assessorias play a significant role in producing housing of higher quality compared to conventional top-down public housing approaches. Moreover, they offer a model of sociopolitical empowerment by involving residents in the design, construction, and management of their homes. Through case studies of Peabiru and Usina, two assessorias located in São Paulo, the chapter explores the technical and social innovations of this approach, while also addressing the ethical dilemmas associated with uncompensated labor and the working conditions of self-built housing. Overall, the assessorias técnicas model exemplifies a noteworthy alternative in Brazilian architecture that prioritizes community engagement and addresses the housing needs of marginalized populations. This chapter focuses on the meaningful but overlooked production of a segment of Brazilian architecture known as assessorias técnicas -nonprofits that work on low-income housing through participatory design. Assessorias técnicas are nonprofit technical consultancies formed by "architects, planners, engineers, social workers", who work with communities on affordable housing. Alternative approaches to social housing are necessary in Brazil, where the mainstream has failed to supply enough housing despite decades of public policies. The demand for housing in Brazil has accelerated since the 1950s, when industrialization and urbanization intensified. Mass rural migrations toward large centers such as São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro caused explosive urban growth. Assessorias also face their own challenging conditions. Many professionals use the word "precariousness" to denote their low wages, unpaid work and overwork, and job insecurity.
