Casa de apoio para pacientes com câncer amparada pela Congregação Cristã do Brasil: um anteprojeto arquitetônico humanizado para acolhimento e recuperação

Abstract

Cancer is a complex disease with significant global societal impact, ranking as the second leading cause of death worldwide, as indicated by the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) and the World Health Organization (WHO). In this context, this work aims to develop a preliminary architectural design for a support house in Maceió AL, intended for cancer patients, supported by the religious institution Christian Congregation in Brazil (CCB). The study emphasizes the importance of humanization and patient well-being during treatment, exploring the intersection between architecture and health. The goal is to provide an environment that offers emotional, physical, and psychological support to patients, highlighting the relationship between physical space and recovery. To achieve these objectives, the applied methodology includes bibliographic research, case studies, and the development of the preliminary project based on technical standards and current legislation. This project aims not only to improve the quality of life of cancer patients but also to contribute to the academic literature on the relationship between architecture and health.
