Hospital Oncológico da Criança: projeto de interiores para uma ala infantil em um hospital particular na cidade de Uberlândia

Abstract

Over recent years, health physical spaces went through interior upgrade in detriment of well-being and recovery of the pacients. Environments that for a long time were considered places to die are currently designed to focus on users, aiming better support during the healing process. This perspective of interiors humanization becomes even more inherent to the development of an effective project that recognizes and solve the user’s needs, providing positive experiences and sensations during hospital care, mostly when it’s about children, because child development keeps happening regardless of the environment they’re in. Therefore, this final paper sets out to present a project of interior design of a children’s wing for an oncological hospital located in the city of Uberlândia, Minas Gerais, aiming the relief of pain and distraction of the kids during their hospital days in treatment of such a delicate disease, which provides playful and cozy spaces trying to soften the healing process through environment influence and affective relation the users develop with it.
