Unidade de saúde animal: anteprojeto arquitetônico de um hospital veterinário público

Abstract

The study object of this Final Graduation Work is an architectural proposal of a public veterinary hospital for the city of Natal/RN. Faced with the lack of public equipment with such use, as well as the fragility of the existing veterinary medical services, there is an interest in contributing, through architecture, to animal welfare. It also takes into account the problem of street animals, which is a public health issue. Thus, the aim is to prepare a draft of a veterinary hospital intended for the care of small animals - dogs, cats and wild animals - responding to the specificities of a public building, contributing in a preventive and corrective way to the health in the city, taking into account the needs, mainly, of the community animals and animal owners with low-income; and collaborating with a harmonious human being-animal coexistence.
