Abstract

This article proposes to systematize three different approaches for addressing participatory instances in architecture, enabling interventions in the built environment through dialogue between professionals and neighbors. In order to clarify these approaches, the theoretical proposals of three architects who laid the foundations for participation in the design disciplines
during the 1960s and 1970s will be referenced: John Turner, Nicholas John Habraken and Christopher Alexander. While the contributions of these authors are generally recognized as foundational concepts in participatory architecture, this paper aims to interpret their writings through a methodological view in order to achieve not only a defense of user participation, but also different paths to implement it. In presenting the results, the various approaches are systematized according to their methodological elements (roles of professionals and residents, stages, and instruments). The discussion addresses the conceptual background of each proposal and the conclusions include a series of recommendations to guide methodological decisions in future participatory interventions based on contextual requirements and the professional practice perspectives.
