Crescer: anteprojeto de um centro especializado em reabilitação infantil para cidade de Natal/RN

Abstract

According to the Brazilian Health Survey (2013), the prevalence of self-reported disability was identified in 6.2% of the Brazilian population (BRASIL, 2013), evidencing the need for investments in prevention and rehabilitation of this part of the population. In childhood, in particular, early diagnosis and appropriate and effective treatment facilitate the inclusion and breakdown of social segregation processes. In this context, the Centros Especializados em Reabilitação (CER) are establishments that specialize in the "diagnosis, evaluation, orientation, early stimulation and specialized assistance in rehabilitation, concession, adaptation and maintenance of assistive technology" (BRASIL, 2017). In Rio Grande do Norte, recent news points out the lack of assistance in this sector, as well as some spatial demands that are not completely covered by existing structures. In addition, the observation of architectural projects of the Sarah Kubitschek Network, which stands out in the area, made us reflect on the contribution that architecture can make to this therapeutic process. Therefore, this graduation final work aims the elaboration of the project of a CER II (Físico e intelectual), with a focus on the children and youth public, in the Northern Zone of Natal/RN. The main concepts that guide the project are humanization and inclusion in architecture.
