Abstract

When considering segregation and the lack of security as negative influences on the development of society, it is possible to say that the concept of convivenciality becomes key for equitable social growth, as it was strongly stressed by the Modern Movement through the design of community residential complexes. Within this context, the overarching goal of this research is to understand how the spatial conditions proposed by Modern Movement architecture have provided convivenciality spaces for the people that inhabit them, strengthening their ties to the place and the community. The Remodelación Paicaví project has been chosen as case study, given its character of flagship project for the city of Concepción, as well as because it was developed under the principles of the Modern Movement. The analysis aimed to establish a relationship between the design principles applied and the conditions of convivenciality (security, non-segregation, etc.). The results show that even if there are certain design conditions that appear as favorable, the presence of large spaces that lack activities has led to abandonment, which has affected the perception of security, triggering rejection from residents and undermining the sense of community.
