As to the isothermicity of the translucent walls, experimental laboratories will be able in the near future to give us a new translucent material whose isothermal properties will be equal to that of the thickest wall. From then on, we will witness the inauguration of a new era: buildings will be altogether hermetically closed. Windows will no longer be needed on the façade; consequently neither dust nor flies nor mosquitoes will enter the houses; nor will noise.Le Corbusier's fascination with light and glass formed a continuing thread throughout his career. After his maxim ‘architecture is lighted floors’ came the passionate discourses to defend the building's openness, first with his fenêtre en longueur, the ribbon window, and ultimately with his emblematic pan de verre, the glass wall that would not only provide sunlight-flooded interiors but would also most significantly contribute to shape the Modernist imagery. Despite the profuse explorations invested in this concept, Le Corbusier would always lament his failure to execute his ‘pan de verre 100%’ in the way he would have desired: ‘as a mur neutralisant constituted by a double glass-wall with an internal cavity through which conditioned air would circulate, hot in winter, cold in summer’.The idea of the mur neutralisant was born as part of a challenging environmental theory for buildings, termed either respiration exacte or air exact [1], proposed by Le Corbusier in collaboration with his cousin and practice partner Pierre Jeanneret in 1928. Le Corbusier would describe this theory in two of his most dogmatic publications: first, as one of his lectures (5 October 1929) collected in Précisions (1930) and, second, as part of La Ville Radieuse (1935), his manifesto on modern habitation.

Objetivo: refletir sobre as contribuições da Teoria Ambientalista na pandemia do novo Coronavírus. Método: estudo teórico-reflexivo, sustentado em revisão narrativa e na Teoria Ambientalista, sobre as formas de prestação de cuidados e organização dos serviços de saúde durante a pandemia do novo Coronavírus. Resultados: os conceitos Ambiente e Saúde-Doença revelaram-se fundamentais para se pensar a (re)organização dos serviços de saúde e dos domicílios, como formas de cuidado e controle ambiental. Complementarmente, os conceitos Enfermagem e Sociedade, permitiram refletir sobre a necessidade de incluir novas formas de cuidado, que considerem a utilização das tecnologias e dos ambientes virtuais, para alcançar a população. Conclusão: foi possível visualizar as articulações entre os conceitos expostos pela Teoria Ambientalista e a pandemia do novo Coronavírus, mostrando a atualidade da relação destes.

Objetivo: descrever a teoria ambientalista de Florence Nightingale com base no modelo de avaliação de Meleis. Metodologia: trata-se de um estudo teórico reflexivo, elaborado em 2015, a partir de literatura pertinente e a descrição do modelo de avaliação de teorias de Meleis, nos componentes estruturais e funcionais. Resultados: a teoria apresenta conceitos de ser humano, ambiente, saúde e enfermagem, tendo como foco principal o controle do meio ambiente. A ação do enfermeiro no trato do enfermo implementada dentro de um ambiente saudável constitui sua principal proposição para a enfermagem. Conclusões: a teoria ambientalista é uma teoria usual e sempre atual, não apenas pelo que é descrito sobre a higiene, micro-organismos, sujidades e no tratamento dos doentes, mas pela aplicabilidade na prática de enfermagem com relação ao ser humano, ambiente e saúde. A teoria detém conceitos fundamentais da Enfermagem.Descritores: Teoria de Enfermagem, Meio Ambiente, Enfermagem, Análise.DESCRIPTIVE ANALYSIS OF THE ENVIRONMENTALIST NURSING THEORYOjective to describe the Environmental Theory of Florence Nightingale based on Meleis´ model for theory evaluation. Methodology: this is a reflective theoretical study conducted in 2015, using pertinent literature and the structural and functional components of the descriptive phase of Meleis´ model of theory evaluation to examine the theory. Results: the theory presents the concepts human being, environment, health and nursing, while focusing on environment control. Nursing action in the treatment of patients implemented in a healthy clean environment constituted the main theoretical proposition for nursing. Conclusions: the Environmental Theory is basic and current, not only because of its description of hygienic actions, micro-organisms, and unsanitary conditions that must be considered in caring for patients, but because of its applicability in nursing practice in relation to the person, environment and health. The theory contains concepts that are fundamental to Nursing.Descriptors: Nursing Theory, Environment, Nursing, Analysis.ANALISIS DESCRIPTIVA DE LA TEORÍA AMBIENTALISTA DE ENFERMERÍAObjetivo: describir la Teoría Ambientalista con base en el modelo de evaluación propuesto por Meleis. Metodología: es un estudio teórico reflexivo, realizado en 2015, a partir de la literatura y la parte descriptiva del modelo de evaluación de teoría de enfermería de Meleis, en la estructura y funcionamiento. Resultados: la teoría presenta conceptos de ser humano, medio ambiente, salud y enfermería, centrándose en el medio ambiente. La principal proposición de enfermería de la teoría dice que la acción de la enfermera en el trato de enfermos se hace em un medio ambiente saludable. Conclusiones: la teoría ambientalista es una teoría siempre actual, no solamente porque describe la higiene, los microorganismos e las condiciones insalubres que deben ser consideradas, pero también por su aplicabilidad en la práctica de enfermería con el ser humano, medio ambiente y la salud. La teoría tiene conceptos fundamentales de Enfermería.Descriptores: Teoría de Enfermería, Medio Ambiente, Enfermería, Análisis.

ABSTRACT Objective: to identify, through the contributions of hospitalized children and adolescents, the characteristics they consider necessary for a hospital that promotes well-being and development. Method: descriptive and exploratory study, with qualitative data analysis, carried out with a total of 30 hospitalized children and adolescents. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, mediated by drawing, and analyzed by inductive thematic analysis, supported by the theoretical framework of the humanization of health care and the Florence Nightingale’s Environmental Theory. Results: the designed hospital takes up the principles of Florence Nightingale’s Environmental Theory, as well as one of the guidelines of the National Humanization Policy, the environment, from two perspectives: elements and material resources from the physical environment; elements of comfort and well-being environment. Final considerations: hospitals such as the projected institution corroborate what is recommended in public policies, as they qualify health care.
