Lúmen - Centro de Convivência e Reinserção para Idosos

Abstract

Population aging is a global trend that poses significant challenges to society, especially in Brazil, where the elderly population is growing rapidly. Although increased longevity is a positive development, it is often associated with loneliness, which affects both physical and mental health. This work proposes an architectural project for a Center for Social Interaction and Reintegration for the Elderly, aimed at promoting social interaction, cultural, educational, and physical activities. The project incorporates universal accessibility and neuroarchitecture, with spaces designed to encourage intergenerational interaction, combat loneliness, and promote active aging, thereby strengthening the integration of the elderly into society.
