Interação espaço usuário: uma abordagem gamificada para arquitetura de ambientes de saúde

Abstract

The present work is to expand the way we can understand the user of the healthcare space in order to contribute to the production of environments that support the well-being of users/patients. Its objective is to develop a gamified interface that helps architect professionals in designing environments suitable for the well-being of users who occupy waiting spaces in cancer treatment rooms. Healthcare environments, from an architectural point of view, have many rules to be met, together with flows and spatial organization. The professional architect tends not to approach the ambience as much as in other projects, but architecture must be seen as a way to interact and express themselves with the world. This distance occurs because health buildings are commonly designed for the collective, but the users of these spaces must be welcomed by the ambience, through care for the humanization of the environment and processes. The research was articulated around the concept of sensory architecture, with indications of human senses, ambience and humanization, and finally, gamification, dialoguing mainly with Aloísio Leoni Schmid (2005) and Jane McGonigal (2017). However, the gamified interface created has strategies for bringing the user closer to what the health environment is, some architectural elements that can be attributed to their waiting space, as well as the relationship with the space demonstrated through phrases and words representing some sensations through of letters and images. Through the design of the work it was possible to build the product that is a game that expands the interaction between the user and their environmental perception, being possible that the professional Architect and Urban Planner can analyze through these the possibilities of improving the environmental comfort of the users.
