The projects of Archigram, the Japanese Metabolists and Team X seem to have nothing to do with the social housing programmes that were developed in Chile during the active period of the Corporación de la Vivienda (1953- 1976). Although the first projects have been explained based on the relationship between art and architecture, the low-income housing problem has been mainly addressed as a political, technical, social or economic issue. However, there is common ground between these two different proposals: The idea that there is a dimension of form that can be projected and stabilized and another dimension of form that cannot be projected and stabilized, which is left to be practiced, managed and decided by its users. This paper proposes a critical reading of some Chilean housing programmes for low-income sectors, such as the Erradicaciones and Operación Sitio. ; ¿Qué tienen que ver los proyectos de Archigram, los metabolistas japoneses o los integrantes del Team X con los programas de vivienda popular que se desarrollaron en Chile durante el período de acción de la Corporación de la Vivienda? Aparentemente nada. Mientras los primeros se han explicado a partir de las relaciones de la arquitectura con el arte, el problema habitacional de los sectores populares ha sido abordado principalmente como un asunto político, técnico, social y económico. Sin embargo, hay un punto de contacto entre estas propuestas al parecer tan distintas: la idea de que había una dimensión de la forma que podía ser proyectada y estabilizada, y otra que no, que se dejaba para que fuera practicada, gestionada y decidida por los usuarios. El presente artículo propone una lectura crítica de algunos programas habitacionales chilenos como las Erradicaciones y la Operación Sitio a partir del problema de la estabilidad e inestabilidad de la forma.

AbstractEvidence from evaluation of low‐income housing assistance programs in this country indicates that: those which use existing housing are less expensive than those which require new housing construction, but existing housing programs do not reach people in the worst housing. Program effects are relatively small, except for people who are induced to change their housing, and the effect for others is primarily to reduce their rent burden.
