Psiqué: proposta de anteprojeto arquitetônico de uma clínica de psicologia modelo

Abstract

It is a consolidated idea that for the full development of the activities of a profession, the environment should be suitable for such, without ignoring the needs of its users. For Psychology, this is no different, especially because it is an area that depends on specific environmental characteristics for its satisfactory performance, and that these are not always visible, are often neglected. In recent years, there has been an increase in the search for psychological treatment, and with this it is necessary that psychology clinics are adequate, increasingly prepared and complying with the requirements made to meet patients. However, there are no formally established norms for the construction of these clinics, only expectations regarding the performance of the spaces. The complexity increases when clinics are installed in business buildings, where there is restriction of remodeling for structural, design and aesthetic reasons. Given this reality, the present work aims to propose an ambience and architectural design of a model psychology clinic, from an adaptation in a room of a business building. To achieve this goal, the applied methodology consists of 3 stages: literature review (in order to understand the real situation about the subject), case study (in order to analyze the adaptation of spaces in psychology clinics) and the crossing of data (analysis and comparison of the data extracted in the previous stages to guide the design decisions of the proposed preliminary project as objective). Considering that a psychology clinic is a place for people to express themselves, the environment needs to be inviting for this process to occur in a natural and welcoming way. Taking this as a basis, it was perceived throughout this work, the power of architecture as a response to adaptation and transformation of a space in clinical psychology.
