Espaços cemiteriais: análise dos aspectos arquitetônicos no processo de acolhimento ao luto

Abstract

It is valid to say that in the experimentation and in the experience of mourning, people demand welcoming and human environments and it is necessary to understand which are the main elements of these spaces that reflect the need for a deeper investigation of the architectural and social aspects of this theme. Based on this assumption, the architectural humanization and its importance within the cemetery spaces is a concept considered the main beacon of this study that aims to establish a relationship with the grieving process experienced by people who attended at some point this type of environment and has as its central objective to analyze the impact of architecture on the mourning perception of users of cemetery spaces. This relationship will be materialized from a reading of a study of the subjective interviews of several visitors who translate the emotions, experiences and individual memories of these people into sentences, thus tracing a qualitative and descriptive analysis about the main architectural needs of the spaces and how its elements are impacting the experience of the bereaved. It is, therefore, a research developed through the exploratory method based on the processes of Antônio Carlos Gil and bibliographic research. It is understood that, in this sense, the study demonstrates the potential of humanized architecture associated with cemetery spaces and, consequently, promotes a reflection on the meaning of the experience of bereaved families and what is being done within the companies that offer the cemetery service. Finally, the aim is to seek the development of a critical conscience that investigates the architectural elements from the perspective of the feeling of mourning.
