Informal housing has a housing alternative for disadvantaged populations. For many years, this type of settlement is characterized by containing displaced by violence and people living in poverty, seeking a housing solution and, given the impossibility of access to formal housing as an alternative to this situation have resorted to self. To do this, they use recycled materials or other materials that get over time, to make the adjustments of the different spaces that require for their homes, empirically and without a previous professional study on the subject. Thus, according to the emerging needs and the ability to purchase inputs, they build their homes in stages, not knowing that the lack of planning and knowledge within her deficiencies that prevent them from having a decent life are generated and adequate housing that gives them welfare. In response to this situation, through architectural interventions proposed from the existing homes, they have implemented actions aimed at improving the living conditions of families that inhabit them. These have been carried out normally through state breeding programs, which sometimes are not enough due to the amount of subsidy is offered and the omission of fundamental aspects needed to form adequate housing for the beneficiary families. To understand the problems they referred to a sector study was elected in the city of Bogota, specifically in the Caracoli neighborhood of the town of Ciudad Bolivar. In it, based on surveys of households, different spatial aspects of composition, function and distribution were analyzed in relation to social and family organization, in order to establish the deficiencies that can occur in this type of housing solutions. For this, benchmarks and indicators on how it should be adequate housing, which allowed systematic deficiencies and identify the elements to intervene were established, the conditions of economic dependency household were also identified, to make decisions regarding needs re densification or production spaces. According to the above, a proposal for improvement appropriate to the particular needs of households was developed. This proposal was sought primarily to solve problems of public services, provision of space, materials, structure and design, which generate undesirable situations related to protection, health, hygiene, privacy and comfort, among others.
