ACOLAR: Proposta de anteprojeto de um residencial acessível para idosos a partir da neuroarquitetura

Abstract

This work involves developing a preliminary architectural design for a residential condominium for the elderly, based on the principles of neuroarchitecture and universal design, promoting the cognitive, emotional, and physical well-being of its residents by creating spaces that combine warmth, care, and recreation. Considering the aging process in Brazil, and especially in the state of Paraíba, the research seeks to respond to the growing demand for adapted, accessible, and humanized spaces. The methodology adopted combines bibliographic research, analysis of related projects, and a study of implementation on a defined site, in order to understand the specific needs of the elderly population and translate them into design solutions that prioritize accessibility, autonomy, social interaction, and positive sensory stimulation. The resulting project is the creation of the ACOLAR residential complex, with environments that, by combining warmth, care, and leisure, promote healthy and active aging, contributing to improving the quality of life of its residents.
