Co-construction. A proposal to improve organizational culture in habitat production

Abstract

This work analyzes the intersection between habitat production, as a cognitive action oriented towards social utility within the framework of a constructivist episteme, and technological co-construction, as a methodological tool that enables the integration of knowledge. It argues that there is no universal law that determines how one should know and promotes the articulation of common sense, experiential knowledge, with academic knowledge, in an overcoming strategy for solving problems in the field of habitat. Concepts such as habitat, technology and management are explored from a broad perspective, promoting alternative reflection. As an empirical basis, the Federal Productive Network “Co-construir Habitat” is presented, a collective technological experience carried out in several locations in the national territory, where diverse knowledge is intertwined, generating a productive space where technology is shared. Finally, the work proposes guidelines for a technological management policy for the production of habitat, engendered in the co-construction methodology itself.
