An experience centre for children with autism

YEAR 2019
TYPE Diploma project
SCHOOL The Oslo School of Architecture and Design
LOCATION Oslo

My project proposal is an experience center for children with autism and other disabilities. The center provides spaces where different kinds of bodily movement and experiences can be explored with the purpose of stimulating the development of different kinds of skills. By using motion capture technology some rooms will also interact with the children’s bodies so that they can learn with both their brain and body. This kind of exploring can give a child the feeling of coping with the environment which may have therapeutic functions in terms of lowering anxiety that many children with autism have.
