          Abstract

          Este ensayo explora la relación entre las instituciones de poder que encargaron los primeros proyectos de vivienda social moderna en Latinoamérica, su arquitectura y sus habitantes. Como caso de estudio se escoge el Complejo Habitacional Pedregulho construido entre 1947 y 1952, en Brasil. La arquitectura de las nuevas viviendas modernas en Latinoamérica se concibió como el vehículo para la "transformación social". La relación entre la arquitectura, sus ocupantes y el poder se plantea como "panóptica", ya que podemos hallar referencias a formas de "encarcelamiento" propuestas desde la Ilustración estudiadas por el filósofo francés Michel Foucault (como el Panopticon del filósofo inglés Jeremy Bentham), y que hacen eco en las ideas del urbanismo moderno propuestas por el arquitecto y urbanista Le Corbusier.

          Translated abstract

          This article explores the relationship between the institutions of power that commissioned the first projects of modern social housing in Latin America, its architecture and inhabitants. The Pedregulho Housing Complex is an exemplary case study, built between 1947 and 1952 in Brazil. The new architecture of the modern social housing projects in Latin American was conceived as a vehicle for "social transformation". For this aim, the relationship between power, architecture and tenants is established in "panoptic" terms, with clear references to forms of imprisonment proposed since the Enlightenment as studied by the philosopher Michel Foucault (such as Bentham's Panopticon) and that will resonate with Le Corbusier's ideas for the new modern city.
