| Sumario: | From the beginning of the 20th century, a professional sector of architecture was configured that sought to address the issue of popular housing, which, by the middle of the same century, related these intentions to its horizons of social transformation. Towards the 1960s and 1970s, the limits between professional practice and militant practice seem to blur, when groups of architects -along with other disciplines- began to work together with the social and political organizations of residents. The article proposes a review and journey through various experiences, discussions, trajectories and processes intertwined in recent Argentine history, where different ways of articulating professional spaces with political and social militancy were generated, to address the problems of popular habitat. Returning to these historical experiences makes it possible to complicate the view of the "politicization" and "politicity" of architectural practices, to dismantle linear relationships to understand architects as political subjects inserted in a network of actors, disputes and meanings more comprehensive. A historical reconstruction that aims to analyze the possibilities and limitations that emerged from these intertwinings, which serve as input for professional groups currently dedicated to popular habitat. |
