Vers un processus intégratif de conception et de fabrication du logement collectif en Algérie. Cas d’El harrouch

Abstract

Collective housing often considered as a finished product is no more than a complex process that requires collaboration between numerous actors: one part related to the world of architecture and town planning and another part whose specialties are others. Their cooperation is necessary even fundamental for the success and the quality of the finished products. In practice, this collaboration is more complex than it seems to be; an interdisciplinary language and a meticulous organization of roles and tasks are set. The architect, actor as well as designer in this linking, needs its flood of information to perform his task. The degree and quality of the information provided to him will influence his conception of the product. A strong and unequivocal tie exists between the process and the product. Nowadays, unfortunately, the manufacturing of the collective housing tends towards an extreme simplification of its process in a concern to respond to a certain urgent need. Following this haste, several phenomena whose impact is detrimental to our society on the urban and socio-economic plans persist. To partially solve these mechanisms, I tried to maximize the process and its flood of information through the integration of new techniques (TIC) in order to put forward a new organizational model in which each actor would be able to bring his contribution to the architect, designer of the project. In this way, with the help of an interactive information system (IS), the architect will synthesize the flood of data originating from various specialists and managers in order to elaborate a product reflecting its own complexity.
