A methodological strategy had been developed relating humanizing concepts and the properties attached to them, representing qualities of the built environment that can recover a sense of urbanity and a sense of dwelling, associated with the nature of value under multidimensional and subjective lenses. Findings: The strategy could be a flexible base that allows for contributing to future architecture design so as to narrowing the distance between good intentions and the effective fulfillment of varied human needs facilitated by more sustainable settlements. Thus, waiting also contribute to the advancement of thought and practice of architecture
