Proposta arquitetônica de um centro de restauração emocional voltado a pessoas com a síndrome de Burnout em Aracaju-SE

Abstract

This study proposes the development of an Emotional Restoration Center aimed at assisting individuals affected by Burnout Syndrome, to be implemented in Aracaju. The research is based on the understanding of burnout as a complex occupational phenomenon of contemporary society. In order to achieve the objectives of the proposal, concepts from Environmental Psychology are applied, considering the built environment as an element capable of influencing emotions, behaviors, and recovery processes. The study is also grounded in the concept of restorative environments, based on the Stress Recovery Theory (SRT) and the Attention Restoration Theory (ART), emphasizing the importance of contact with nature and the creation of welcoming spaces. The research is complemented by the analysis of architectural references focused on mental health, from which guidelines are extracted for the development of the architectural preliminary design. It is concluded that architecture can significantly contribute to mental health care, acting as a support for emotional restoration and the users’ quality of life.
