Abstract:
Autism, also known as Autism Spectrum Disorder
(ASD), is a global developmental disorder characterized
by neurological developmental changes that result in
diiculties in socialization, verbal communication, or
language use. The term “spectrum” emphasizes that
autism can manifest in diferent ways from individual
to individual, ranging from milder to more severe
forms, measured by the level of support required for
basic activities. With advancements in neuroscience,
environmental psychology, and architecture, combined
with other scientiic ields, it is possible to develop
residential projects that cater to the sensory needs
of individuals with autism. Therefore, the objective
of this work is to develop a preliminary project for the
renovation, expansion, and interior design of a residence,
considering the needs of an autistic child, in order to
facilitate their interaction with the family. Initially, a
literature review was conducted to contextualize and
better understand the characteristics of individuals with
ASD. Subsequently, a case study was carried out with
the family using the Post-Occupancy Evaluation (POE)
method, in order to observe and listen to their needs and
desires. Finally, during the proposal development phase,
project guidelines were established for the inal proposal,
including a needs program, zoning, lowchart, and the
development of renovation and interior design projects.
