Centro de rehabilitación para habitantes de calle drogodependientes - neuroarquitectura como principio diseñador para la reintegracion de habitantes de calle

Abstract

This thesis aims to present a multifunctional architectural project for the rehabilitation and social well-being of homeless people with drug addiction, particularly in the district of "Los Mártires" in the city of Bogotá, where there are high rates of drug trade and homelessness, creating a perception of insecurity and high danger for certain population groups in the capital. The project will address the spatial issues and needs of the "Los Mártires" area, focusing on the homeless population with drug dependency, leading to a comprehensive transformation. The goal is to change the perception of the area as unsafe by meeting the basic needs of homeless individuals within an optimal environment for rehabilitation through spatial design and function. This includes addressing the basic needs of the indigent community and promoting social integration and rehabilitation through facilities and activities such as healthcare services, recreational areas, dining areas, bathrooms, showers, workshops, multipurpose halls, among others. These spaces will be aligned with the 24-hour policy of Bogotá. According to the Bogotá City Hall in 2022, there are 9 transit centers, but some are closed and do not fully address all the required needs, lacking infrastructure for the recovery of the mentioned population. During the methodological development process of the project, various theoretical sources within architecture were analyzed, resulting in the application of Neuroarchitecture, biophilia, and gestalt principles. This exploration aims to create spaces that adapt to the specific requirements within a recovery and rehabilitation environment for individuals in the targeted location.
