Diseño de un centro de apoyo psicosocial al tratamiento de enfermedades mentales severas en el área metropolitana de Bucaramanga (CAP)

Abstract

Currently, the stigmatization and lack of places for patients with mental disabilities in the metropolitan area of Bucaramanga is evident. Taking as a reference the COVID-19 pandemic (2020-2021), which has affected and continues to affect the physical and mental health of the population, the need to design spaces that help with psychosocial treatments for people with mental illnesses is noticeable. Unfortunately, in the metropolitan area of Bucaramanga, there is a deficiency in this type of center, which is concentrated in a single zone (Bucaramanga). For this reason, a psychosocial support center has been designed in the municipality of Floridablanca as the closest point for people from Piedecuesta and Girón. The project aims, through the design of interior and exterior spaces, to collaborate in the recovery of patients, providing psychosocial support through spaces, functionality, color, and different environments that guarantee a constant relationship between the patient and their close circle.
