RESUMO

This dissertation focuses on Cajueiro Secos housing experience taken place in Pernambuco, Brazil, during Miguel Arraes term as state governor between 1963 and 1964. Often seen as paradigmatic in terms of communal participation and the merging of modern and vernacular solutions, the experience is here examined as a part of wider social, political and cultural histories. On the one hand, the work relates the local episode with discussions, proposals and achievements on housing and urban reform in Brazil and Latin America during the 1950s and 1960s. On the other hand, it analyses the architectural experience in face of contemporary political and cultural debates concerning national development and underdevelopment, Kennedys Alliance for Progress programs, João Goularts national reforms program, urban and rural social mouvements, the Popular Culture Mouvement and the Frente do Recife in Pernambuco etc. By observing different actors involved on the conception, concretion and interruption of that experience, the work surpasses authorial references to the prefabricated adobe design in order to reevaluate the role of collective processes in architectural historiography.
