Villa for the Elderly in Cuiabá

This work is the result of studies for TDAUP - Diploma Work in Architecture, Urbanism and Landscaping from the Architecture and Urbanism course at UNIVAG in 2017. Its aim is to create a proposal for an architectural project aimed at the elderly in the city centre of Cuiab?. Through research that explores the growth rates of this population and, above all, exposes the city's lack of spaces that solve and contribute to improving the quality of life of the elderly community, in various dimensions of life, including: environmental, social interaction and accessibility. The study analyses existing models of long-term housing in the city, looking at the treatment methods implemented, taking into account the positive aspects on which the project was based, as well as the negative aspects refuted in the proposal. The methodology used to design the project sought to integrate the elderly into society by including spaces that were attractive to the public. To this end, the blocks were modelled in the vernacular style of Cuiab?, recreating the environments in which the elderly spent a large part of their lives.
