Centro de Acolhimento Agenor de Miranda Araújo Neto (CAMAN): proposta de anteprojeto arquitetônico de um centro público de acolhimento e cuidado à pessoas LGBTQIA+, em Maceió, Alagoas

Abstract

In view of gender and sexuality issues, as well as sexual diversity, within a prejudiced and violent social and political context, where we see a setback and an attempt to invisibilize and marginalize these bodies, the present work focuses on the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transsexual, Transvestite or Transgender, Queer, Intersex, Sexual, Pansexuals, + population, in order to develop an architectural proposal of a public center of reception and health care of this population, in the Jaraguá neighborhood, in Maceió, Alagoas, aiming at discussion and understanding about this social problem, through architecture and occupation to the city. Thus, it is essential to broaden the understanding regarding the LGBTQIA+ reality, as well as the vulnerability of this population, both in the country and in the area of the city of Maceió, understanding the real need of this population. Also, about the projective issues, identify the surroundings where it will be inserted and its construction parameters, in view of the neighborhood and its preservation area. In addition, explore and analyze projective solutions, and study standards that are directly linked to the broad functioning of reception centers and references. Therefore, a research was elaborated through a methodological process related to the historical context of the LGBTQIA+ struggle in Brazil and the state of Alagoas, as well as an overview of violence in this same scenario; the identification and characterization of architectural repertoire about houses of reception and care to the population in order to understand the architectural and social problems that permeate this reality; and finally, the characterization of the area where the architectural project will be implemented, understanding the historical reality of the neighborhood and its direct connection with the LGBTQIA+ population. As a result, the preliminary project of the Centro Agenor de Miranda Araújo Neto (CAMAN), a public center for the reception of LGBTQIA+ people, in the city of Maceió, Alagoas, has been elaborated, placing the proposed space as a path for reintegration into society, through culture, education and welcoming.
