Structured as a project and research laboratory open to students from different periods and courses, its objective is to create a collaborative space for multidisciplinary learning about the reality of precarious and low-income settlements in our urban and rural areas. The discipline falls within the scope of university extension and aims to develop technical advisory projects in Architecture and Urbanism. In this way, it has the following characteristics and objectives: i) starts from demands originating from a specific location; ii) develops from a constant and permanent dialogical exchange with local collectives and agents of the territory in question; ii) it must provoke a structured production of knowledge in local and academic knowledge, providing solutions to local demands and updating knowledge based on professional experience in precarious and/or vulnerable territories.
