Arquitetura para emergências

In the emergence of new diseases, we find that we know less than we think and almost always have much to learn. We are surprised by impacts that affect people indistinctly, considering age, gender, schooling and social class, although existing social inequalities carry a greater burden of suffering to the most vulnerable groups. This book contributes to learning from experiences, life events and reflections on architecture for health, so that all authors and readers recognize solutions for new buildings focused on medical emergencies. The publication also presents different approaches and components necessary for the development of architectural programming for each environment related to health emergencies in Brazil, in view of the respective activities to be developed there but considering primarily the human dimension in these contexts. The book offers a broad perspective in this scenario of experiences with their respective evaluations and, in some cases, contributes from projects of health units to territories where this demand was justified. And we should remain that way, seeking solutions for a time without final forecast.
