SOLAR: Centro de Saúde e Bem-Estar Animal

Abstract

The present work aims to create an Animal Health and Welfare Center for the municipality of Coqueiral-MG. With this, the aim is to remedy the lack of services for dogs and cats and to solve problems caused by the abandonment of these animals. Understanding the damage to public health and the urban environment generated from the abandonment of dogs and cats, there is the need to create a place that provides quality of life for animals and gives knowledge to the population about the importance of adoption and also on environmental issues. Establishing relationships between people and animals is essential to enable the return of the animal to society through adoption. In order to relate the proposal to the city, surveys were carried out with the population and data were collected, studies on the area of intervention and an analysis of the laws and regulations relevant to the subject. Through the study of bibliographic references and design references, we seek to understand the needs of animals and how the designed space can promote quality of life for them, in order to elaborate the proposed building.
