Hospital oncológico infantojuvenil São Nicolau: anteprojeto arquitetônico utilizando princípios da biofilia na criação de espaços humanizados, para a cidade do Natal/RN

Abstract

The present study refers to the product necessary to obtain the bachelor’s degree in Architecture and Urbanism at UNIRN. Therefore, this study aims to develop the architectural draft of a Children and Youth Oncology Hospital, based on the concepts and principles of biophilia and humanization applied to architecture, in Natal/RN. Among the reasons for developing the object is the non-existence of a hospital specialized only in pediatric oncology in the city of Natal. Therefore, it proposes to supply part of the existing demand in the region. The land destined to receive the architectural proposal, which housed the former Reis Magos Hotel, is located at Avenida Presidente Café Filho, in the Praia do Meio neighborhood. The environment in which the project will be implemented meets the theoretical approach adopted, given its rich scenic landscape and biophilic value, where the natural environment is taken as an element responsible for ensuring the reduction of stress, characteristic of the hospital environment, and for promoting the health and well-being of building users. Therefore, for the presentation of studies, diagnoses, and results on this theme, the work is structured in: theoretical framework, empirical framework, design constraints, and architectural proposal.
