The increase in global life expectancy underscores the urgent need to raise awareness in society about the importance of healthy aging, promoting appreciation and respect for the elderly. This demand emphasizes the importance of developing policies and practices that not only extend citizens' lives but also provide them with a positive existence. This includes access to proper healthcare, opportunities for social participation, and ongoing recognition of their contribution to the community. In this scenario, the innovative concept of Vila Mangueira emerges as an institution dedicated to the elderly. Grounded in three fundamental pillars for a fuller and happier life—autonomy, integrity, and socialization—the project aims to create spaces that encourage active, healthy, and participatory aging. The study, divided into two phases, encompasses theoretical research on the history of Long-Term Care Facilities for the Elderly, as well as their policies, and Environmental Gerontology, followed by the development of an architectural draft. The comprehensive approach of Vila Mangueira not only seeks to meet the growing demands resulting from increased longevity but also represents a tangible commitment to the holistic well-being of the elderly and society as a whole. The project goes beyond providing housing, aspiring to create environments that promote quality of life. This initiative stands out by addressing not only physical but also emotional and social needs, contributing to a more inclusive vision of aging in contemporary society.
