ACOLHER - centro de referência da mulher em Uberlândia

Abstract

Women throughout Brazil and around the world suffer daily from the vulnerability of their bodies to chauvinistic and patriarchal society. According to the United Nations (UN), Brazil is the fifth country that kills most women just because they are women around the world, alarming data that shows the extreme need to think of structures that give care and care to these victims. Based on the study of data on violence, on-site research and materials related to the theme, the entire issue of women's vulnerability and the spaces that provide care to these victims are surveyed. and as they are also completely dispersed throughout the city, contributing to the constant revictimization of victims when they will make a complaint or seek support. The present work, in this sense, seeks from the architectural perspective to propose the creation of a Women's Reference Center for the city of study, Uberlândia - Minas Gerais. The proposal is a space that encompasses the entire program that is now scattered throughout the city in a single complex, thus ensuring integrated care and avoiding the displacement of victims when they seek care. With the use of architecture for the benefit of pain treatment, the project presented here seeks from assertive material choices, the understanding of sectors and flows to create an environment that does not hostile women in their most fragile moment, on the contrary, It seeks to provide users of this space with greater welcome and protection at this stage of such pain and fragility.
