Sumario:Purpose of the research: The research aims to explore the chances of improving environmental conditions for users of collective housing buildings by developing common areas as places for social relationship located between the urban public area and private homes. lt delves into the study of common spaces so as to treat them with the same significance as inside housing arrangement. From the Modern Movement housing has become a central matter in architecture as a discipline, and housing types have been significantly developed, always searching better environmental conditions for inhabitants life. However, this evolution has not been so strong about global systems of collective housing buildings and their common spaces. lt propases to develop common spaces as a feasible alternative choice to contemporary approaches in social housing, understanding that they are essential to improve living conditions of its residents. Analysis: Housing is understood as a fundamental right, and social housing as the one that is regulated and/or prometed by public administration in order to guarantee decent housing for everyone. A historical review of social housing in Europa allows us to understand the different meanings it has in different urban contexts. To understand the social housing architectural project as a concept, the research work studies the evolution in Catalonia regarding location, global buildings systems and housing types .This approach allows us to think about how social housing buildings can influence on urban development of cities. Once we have understood the importance of social housing buildings, the work goes in depth on the study of common spaces choosing some European interventions which have specially developed them. They are different proposals of collective housing buildings which,in a voluntary way or not, have established different ways to interpret common spaces. Samples are contextualized and the relation between common spaces and houses ,and between common spaces and environment is analyzed. Focusing the study on common areas, the work analyzes more specially three interventions in the metropolitan area of Barcelona. In all three cases, common spaces are specially developed as places for social relationship between neighbors and also with the environmental area. Furthermore, two recent social housing buildings in Barcelona, which have specially developed common spaces, are analyzed with the purpose to confront the research with current situation. Subsequently, the study focuses exclusively on common spaces as elements of collective housing buildings.The analysis concentrates on these spaces and arranges them into three observation scales: urban scale, building scale and domestic scale. At this stage, the research studies the specific space defined and not each project neither their contexts. Finally, we study the function of these common places. The work analyzes how residents and other users use these spaces in two paradigmatic projects of social housing in the metropolitan area of Barcelona: Casa Bloc and Walden 7. They are two examples representing two very different ways to interpret common space as an essential part of residential buildings. Conclusions: From the analysis conducted the work determines the real possibilities of strengthen common spaces in the current context of social housing and, therefore, to improve living conditions for their inhabitants. To end the research, it propases a practical application of the reflections drawn from the analysis in three different contexts of the city of Barcelona.In each case, a problematic situation is detected and the work outlines improving purposes.
