Typological Permute II examines how a comprehensive overview of the affordable housing delivery process can help redefine the provision of mass housing in Brazil and the region at large. The work explores how new models of public/private development, can provide an alternative to the ubiquitous landscape of repetitive dormitory cells by introducing more vibrant mixed income and typologically diverse residential projects.
The project departs from three specific premises: 1. The possibility to re-imagine affordable housing in South America as an opportunity to mix income.
The project departs from three specific premises: 2. The idea of expanding the residential typologies beyond the repetitive dwelling. The project specifically focuses on how different unit configurations can address the varied and constantly evolving needs of affordable housing in the region.
The project departs from three specific premises: 3. The notion that good design can significantly improve the quality of life in smaller sized units.

Each unit prototype aggregates into a block with repetitive types and also hybrid blocks that mix and match the types.
Each block than gets aggregated to create a larger district while also incorporating other programs and uses.
