Abstract

This Undergraduate Final Project (TFG) proposes the development of a preliminary architectural design for a Reception Center for homeless adults, with a particular focus on meeting the basic needs of women, located in the city of Salvador, Bahia. The idea is based on a detailed assessment of the historical, social, and economic context that intensifies this situation in Brazil, addressing issues such as social inequality, the absence of effective public policies, and structural prejudice. The foundation is built on literary references, documentary analysis, and analysis of reference projects, providing a comprehensive view of the subject and supporting the choices made for the better development of the proposal. The main goal of this project is to create a welcoming, easily accessible environment that is well integrated into the urban fabric and meets the specific needs of individuals in vulnerable situations. In doing so, this work emphasizes the relevance of architecture as a tool for social transformation and the importance of projects aimed at reducing inequality and improving quality of life.
