O tema desta dissertação – Arquitetura para um Envelhecimento Ativo: Proposta de
Complexo Residencial em Barcelos – surge com a vontade de compreender e relacionar
a arquitetura com o envelhecimento. A dissertação aborda os desafios enfrentados na
velhice, considerando o aumento da esperança média de vida e a necessidade de
alternativas de habitação para idosos. O estudo destaca a importância de garantir
cuidados, privacidade, intimidade e independência aos idosos, adaptando a arquitetura
às mudanças sociais.
O foco principal do desenvolvimento da proposta, incide na conceção de um Complexo
Residencial na freguesia de Martim, concelho de Barcelos. A pesquisa propõe uma
reflexão sobre a relação entre espaço arquitetónico e a cura, visando o Envelhecimento
Ativo, destacando a influência da qualidade da habitação no bem-estar físico e
psicológico. Destaca-se a importância de repensar o acolhimento em instituições. De
modo geral pretende-se compreender o papel da arquitetura na valorização de espaços
residenciais para idosos, proporcionando autonomia, conforto, acesso aos cuidados de
saúde e integração social.
O estudo divide-se em revisão de literatura sobre envelhecimento, análise de espaços
residenciais para idosos (com analise de referências de projeto, nacionais e
internacionais) e a proposta de um projeto para suprir a carência de equipamentos
direcionados para idosos. O projeto procura preencher a lacuna na sociedade, refletindo
sobre o papel da arquitetura na construção da felicidade humana e propondo novas
formas de habitação sensíveis às necessidades dos idosos.
