Proposta arquitetônica de um Centro de Atenção Psicossocial Infantojuvenil (CAPSi) em Maceió - AL com a aplicação da neuroarquitetura

Abstract

The Psychosocial Care Centers (CAPS) are part of the Psychosocial Care Network (RAPS), aimed at mental health care through community-based and territorial actions. They offer services such as reception, clinical and psychosocial follow-up, and the social reintegration of people with severe and persistent mental disorders. For children and adolescents, the CAPSi provides individual and group therapy, therapeutic workshops, and support for families and schools through an interdisciplinary approach that emphasizes bonding and continuous care. This Final Graduation Project aims to propose the architectural preliminary design of a CAPSi in the Antares neighborhood, in Maceió-AL, integrating the principles of neuroarchitecture to create a humanized, functional environment adapted to the needs of children and adolescents. The methodology includes a literature review on mental health in Brazil, CAPS guidelines, and neuroarchitecture concepts, in addition to site analysis and urban planning parameters. As a result, a CAPSi is proposed for the Antares neighborhood.
