Hospital dia oncológico pediátrico: a arquitetura como meio de cura

Abstract

The Final Graduation Work (TFG) presents an innovative preliminary pro ject for a Pediatric Oncological Day Hospital located in the Armação nei ghborhood, in the city of Salvador/BA. In the capital of Bahia, only one hospi tal focused on pediatrics was identified, called Martagão Gesteira, which serves several specialties. In this way, through studies, the need to serve this public, focused on oncology, was seen, as it is one of the most painful diseases, espe cially for children, who in most cases are unable to fully understand what they are going through. . To develop the project, the concepts of humanized hospital architecture were used, as there are currently few facilities that offer comfort to the patient, with cold and impersonal environments. Thus, the author’s project proposes a wel coming and human space, with architecture seen as a means of healing. Therefore, the preliminary project aims to develop a building divided into four floors, including the basement (garage), on a plot of 8,624,179m² with central atriums.
