SUMMARY:

The thesis investigates strategies to qualify social participation in the development of technical solutions by people without academic training in design, coming from vulnerable contexts, in co-creative processes in Architecture, in order to increase their autonomy and the effectiveness of design decisions. The research is based on the observation that, although the literature on participatory processes has advanced, the participation of vulnerable groups in the design phase is still under-explored and often limited by technical and cognitive barriers. To this end, action research is adopted as a methodological approach, structured in four stages: (1) state of the art, with a review of the scope and mapping of existing co-creative processes; (2) analysis, through participatory diagnosis in a rural settlement in the semi-arid region of Rio Grande do Norte; (3) synthesis, with co-creative workshops mediated by physical interfaces; (4) evaluation, with the construction of full-scale mockups. The case study, conducted at the Agrovila Santa Luzia – Modelo II Settlement (RN), involved family farmers in the design of production support equipment using native wood and photovoltaic systems. The partial conclusions indicate that co-creation mediated by physical interfaces, when associated with design constraints, acts as a catalyst for creativity and overcomes barriers to technical representation. This approach not only improved the project results, but also promoted the expansion of the participants' autonomy in multiple dimensions — technical, creative, and political. The research also highlights the importance of specific interventions by designers and process mapping as strategies that, together, democratise the design process, strengthen community agency, and contribute to the development of social technologies.
