Hospital psiquiátrico humanizado em Natal/rn: um anteprojeto com enfoque no bem-estar

Abstract

This undergraduate thesis proposes the development of an architectural preliminary design for a humanized psychiatric hospital located in Natal, Rio Grande do Norte. Recognizing the importance of treatment that goes beyond a purely hospital- based approach, this research is grounded in the principles of the Brazilian Psychiatric Reform. The study begins with the identification of the growing demand for mental health services in the city and the need for facilities that provide a more humanized and welcoming form of care. It is based on a literature review that explores the relationship between architecture and mental health, as well as an analysis of the specific context of Natal. Through the study of successful hospitals and therapeutic spaces, the research seeks to identify and integrate architectural elements that promote well-being, autonomy, and patient recovery. The final objective is to present a preliminary design that includes diverse therapeutic environments, social interaction areas, and spaces that support reintegration into the community.
