Arquitectura Multisensorial: Hábitat escolar y de acompañamiento para el Espectro Autista

Abstract

Autism Spectrum Disorder is an inconspicuous condition in our country, especially in the capital Bogotá DC Therefore, the few existing centers do not have the optimal conditions of a school habitat, which should allow a place beyond space physical, generating security through a joint family environment where many users interact, creating in the same way a functional and lasting proposal over time, finally managing to motivate children to learn and psych pedagogues to teach, where the above is not a privilege of a minority population. This project is based on developing an educational center for children with the Autistic spectrum in the town of Usme, because the main problem is evidence that the existing centers are located to the north and west of the city of Bogotá, generating that the localities from the south of Bogotá do not have easy access in terms of mobility and economic accessibility. For this reason, the design project encompasses the following therapy axes as they are; the educational, social, emotional, sensory, and psychological axis; which will be developed jointly with family members and medical and pedagogical support staff. The necessary elements of nature are implemented through biophilic design, which allows the generation of a Multisensory Architecture, having an adequate handling of components such as light, color, textures, and odors, managing the inclusion between the physical space and the autistic children.
