Centro cultural para crianças autistas

Abstract

In this project, the creation of a new cultural center for autistic children will be discussed. This center will be located in the Ahú neighborhood of Curitiba, near the Oscar Niemeyer Museum. Currently, the number of autism spectrum disorder diagnoses conducted by professionals such as psychiatrists and psychologists has increased considerably, according to data from IBGE. The objective of this project is to propose a learning and development space in the field of arts, considering the interaction limitations of these children with the environment, as they may experience discomfort regarding acoustics, shapes, colors, and other factors. This space will be a place where children can acquire new social skills and express themselves in new ways, considering that autism spectrum disorder primarily affects interpersonal relationships.
