Resumo(s)
A Saúde Mental emerge como um tema de crescente relevância, e a compreensão da
interação entre o ambiente construído e os estados mentais torna-se, neste contexto,
crucial. Apesar do reconhecimento dessa importância, persistem barreiras vinculadas a
constrangimentos logísticos e à adequação de espaços especializados que assegurem os
cuidados necessários à população.
Nesta perspetiva, a presente dissertação propõe compreender de que forma a
arquitetura poderá estar aliada à terapia no tratamento de doenças mentais, em
particular na faixa etária dos jovens entre os 15 e os 24 anos. Partindo do pressuposto
que o ambiente é crucial para a sua recuperação, objetiva-se compreender de que forma
e com que características se processa a influência do espaço arquitetónico no
tratamento da doença mental, explorando o papel da arquitetura como ambiente
terapêutico.
A metodologia adotada assenta numa abordagem teórica para enquadramento das
estratégias de conceção de ambientes terapêuticos, complementada por uma
componente laboratorial através do desenvolvimento de um projeto arquitetónico de
um centro terapêutico residencial, que utilize o espaço, bem como os diferentes
sentidos que consegue despertar, para a terapia. Este, tem como princípio proporcionar
um local digno para a recuperação dos jovens, destinado a promover a interação e o
apoio entre os mesmos, assim como proporcionar espaços que permitam a
aprendizagem de simples tarefas do quotidiano, com o objetivo de, no futuro,
possibilitar a sua (re)integração na sociedade e fomentar a independência.
A investigação é ainda enriquecida com entrevistas qualitativas realizadas a diferentes
profissionais, incluindo psicólogos, diretores clínicos e arquitetos, com o objetivo de
captar perspetivas práticas e experiências, numa análise interdisciplinar que integra
arquitetura e saúde mental.
Em síntese, propõe-se evidenciar o papel do arquiteto como parte integrante da terapia,
numa perspetiva interdisciplinar na conceção de espaços que complementem os
tratamentos e promovam o processo de recuperação, através de sensação de bem-estar
a nível social, físico e psicológico.
Mental health is emerging as an increasingly relevant topic, and understanding the interaction between the built environment and mental states becomes crucial in this context. Despite recognition of this importance, barriers remain linked to logistical constraints and the adequacy of specialized spaces that ensure the necessary care for the population. From this perspective, this dissertation aims to understand how architecture can be combined with therapy in the treatment of mental illness, particularly in young people aged between 15 and 24 years of age. Based on the assumption that the environment is crucial to their recovery, the aim is to understand how and with what characteristics the architectural space influences the treatment of mental illness, exploring the role of architecture as a therapeutic environment. The methodology adopted is based on a theoretical approach to framing strategies for designing therapeutic environments, complemented by a laboratory component through the development of an architectural project for a residential therapeutic center, which uses space, as well as the different senses it can awaken, for therapy. The principle behind this is to provide a dignified place for the recovery of young people, designed to promote interaction and support among them, as well as to provide spaces that allow them to learn simple everyday tasks, with the aim of enabling their (re)integration into society and fostering independence in the future. The research is further enriched by qualitative interviews with different professionals, including psychologists, clinical directors, and architects, with the aim of capturing practical perspectives and experiences in an interdisciplinary analysis that integrates architecture and mental health. In summary, it is proposed to highlight the role of architect as an integral part of therapy, from an interdisciplinary perspective in the design of spaces that complement treatments and promote the recovery process, through a sense of social, physical, and psychological well-being.
