| Sumario: | This article offers a critical reading of housing improvement interventions in informal settlements, based on the concept of situated technologies (Haraway, 1988; Escobar, 2018). The case of Villa Tranquila (Avellaneda) is analyzed, where the articulation between the SUVAP and PROMEBA programs enabled significant territorial transformation, despite tensions between state-led production logic and local dwelling practices. Through documentary and technical analysis, architectural design is problematized as a situated cultural praxis shaped by social, material, and symbolic conditions. Processes of adaptability and spatial re-signification led by residents are identified. Findings highlight the need for context-sensitive rehabilitation strategies that integrate technical efficiency with local knowledge. Design guidelines are proposed for broader application in AMBA settlements requiring comprehensive rehabilitation grounded in technical-constructive decisions. |
