One prototype uses MAXON’s CINEMA4D XPRESSO ® visual scripting environment to set up a semi-automated design environment which allows users to edit one featurebased 3D model of massing alternative at a time.The other prototype uses ILOG’s OPL STUDIO ® constraint programming environment to achieve fully automated search and 2D visualization of all possible solution alternatives to separate subdomains of the building massing design problem.

Planning processes in Latin America.The following lines intend to open the discussion on the requirements and effect of the computer implementation of a constraint satisfaction approach to solve elementary design problems in architectural practice.The case study applies to the building massing design problem posed by the Chilean urban regulatory framework that addresses single-family affordable houses.Two different implementation criteria are being tested in an ongoing series of trials providing further considerations. We introduce some novel ideas for a constraint-based design strategy to support participatory housing The resulting domestic environment, in turn, would shape new family dynamics, producing a holistic, synchronic whole called home. Further, domestic spaces were transformed to accommodate sewing workshops, auto-repairs premises or gardening shelters, thus customising the house by intricate and evolving dynamics. The main results show that home-making practices aim to accommodate social and intimate spheres, and that exterior spaces play a significant role in everyday life, regardless of harsh climatic conditions of certain zones of Chile. People’s perceptions were analysed qualitatively, attending at four dimensions of interest: motivations behind incremental upgrades, socialisation practices within home space, habitability conditions of the houses and family composition and incremental needs over time. A series of semi-structured interviews were carried out to residents to know their motivations for upgrading or transforming their houses, the use of indoor and outdoor spaces, among other aspects. The current study portrays home-making practices and house enlargements of fifteen Minimal Incremental Units built under Chile’s Programa de Vivienda Progresiva, a large state-funded incremental housing programme that operated from 1990 to 2002. We propose that home-making practices should be considered mutually adaptive processes, in the sense that house transformations are shaped by people’s own activities, capabilities, interests and skills, which are multiple and modify over time, and, in turn, these home-making practices are shaped by family dynamics and spatial constrains.
To date, so far, most literature on home-making practices in self-build housing schemes has focused on the role of dwellers (mostly families) in shaping their built environment, with little attention to the internal dynamics of family cores in producing home-making practices, and how these dynamics are shaped by existing spatial constrains. Shedding light on home-making practices may help us understand how families and individuals prioritize needs and resources and negotiate aesthetic values and norms to transform a house into a meaningful physical and imaginary entity. Home-making is a complex manifold of social and environmental processes, where individuals and families cultivate, nurture and preserve inhabit their primary domestic space: their homes.
