The Instituto de Investigaciones y Proyectos and the Centro de Investigaciones de la Vivienda Popular de la Universidad de Buenos Aires were two twinned spaces within the architecture faculty of the UBA between 1973 and 1974, and configured a scientific-technological experience that addressed the problem of popular habitat in a complex, interdisciplinary and innovative way. In this case, the research space was articulated with public policy, various civil society organizations and the private sector. A proposal that sought to be in tune with the political project of the third Peronism, but that, at the same time, synthesized a process of discussions and practices developed by a generation of architects that was forged in resistance and in generally marginal places since 1955. This experience allows us to see the fruits of a generation that advances in its reflections and builds concrete proposals; allows you to see a science and technology project articulated with a university project and a society project at the service of the problems of the popular sectors. Experiences that, despite being developed in a very different conflictive context, today allow us to recover elements that serve to think of new proposals for articulation and integration in the university
