Lar de meninas Zilda Arns: conferindo identidade ao transitório

Abstract

Child abandonment has been present in society since the dawn of civilization. Considering the vulnerability of children and adolescents in shelters, this paper sought to understand in an exploratory way the history of social abandonment of these children and the relationship they have with school, with their families and with the environment of institutional shelters. Besides these, it sought to understand how a temporary equipment can bring identity to the environment, making it a place of belonging for those who live there. Thus, an intervention model based on the Child and Adolescent Statute was proposed, seeking to meet the demands described therein in order to comply with the necessary requirements for a satisfactory performance of the institution in face of the complexity existing in institutional shelters. The result is an architectural parti that at the same time integrates the girls to the community, makes them feel safe and welcomed, seeking to value their passage in the shelter, which despite being transitory is significant.
