Description

Project Description:
The Center for Autism is an integrated and multidisciplinary clinical, training program dedicated to treating individuals with autism spectrum disorder. The main focus of the project is to help the autistic children between 5-10 ages achieve independence and facilitate their interactions with external environment.

Concept:
The Project concept relied on the main design principles for the Autism Spectrum.
It depends on using looping programming scheme to connect project different zones (Blocks) with a main internal shared space, through a “one-way” circulation scheme that builds on the special needs user’s affinity to routine employed throughout this building.
