Acqua Spa Day: anteprojeto arquitetônico de um SPA urbano com o processo de consciência de bem-estar e saúde, em Ponta Negra, Natal/RN

Abstract

It is observed that most of our communication is at work, where we spend the majority of the day, with productivity being the focus of communication. This reality ends up significantly impacting the quality of people´s life due to the overload caused by the demands of daily routines. The chosen approach for analyzing a problem related to stress and anxiety was understanding how people's day works and targeting well-being and health as alternatives to improve quality of life. With comfort, leisure, and health in mind, an architectural preliminary project for an Urban Spa is proposed, called Acqua Spa Day, located in the Ponta Negra, Natal / RN. References on how to design this space were based on bibliographical readings on environmental stress, Bournot Syndrome, restorative environments, as well as other theoretical research apparatus through magazines, articles, and monographs. Among the references, Asheley Biancasteli´s work research stood out, which brings an Urban Spa project with the aim of improving well-being and health. In a later stage, reference studies on Urban Spa were used, as well as an on-site visit to the Clinic Emagrecer Spa Revivare for the sense of proposal and functionality of the place. In order to standardize this architectural draft, analyzes were carried out on urban legislation in force by the city and the others were mirrored by ABNT norms and complementary laws. Based on the research carried out, a form was applied in the city of Natal to seek information on the topic. Therefore, it was observed that the knowledge on the subject was known and they do not attend these elements, as they are scarce in the city. It is expected, through this project proposal and bibliographic studies, to contribute to the expansion of knowledge about personalized service spaces (SPA) and highlight its importance for improving people's lives and changing habits.
