Acolhe dor : luto.

Abstract

The present work, is part of the final project presentation of the Architecture and Urbanism Course (TC 1), aims to compile essential information for the architectural Project for a Grief Support Center. The envisioned center, besides offering conventional support intends to offer an array of multidisciplinary services like: psychological, spiritual, and religious counseling, support groups, social services, grief education, family therapy, and holistic healing methods. The research delves into historical perspectives on grief and mortality, exploring rituals and therapeutic modalities. Furthermore, it provides insights into the urban context where the project will be situated, accompanied by an examination of the specific site within the urban fabric. Typological, architectural, and contextual analysis inform the project’s developmental trajectory. Moreover, the abstract encapsulates details concerning the chosen site, a schematic volumetric analysis of the proposal, alongside a architectural program needs and a architectural organization chart. Additionally, it offers succinct summaries of pertinente legislations underpinning the project’s regulatory framework. This amalgamation of insights seeks to elucidate and substantiate the decisions undertaken throughout the disciplinary process.
