Abstract

What is disability? The general perception of disability is negative, and is usually regarded with hate, and a hope that facilities related to it will not enter the residential areas. However, we consider it necessary to change the perception that disability is negative; instead, it is only a lack of certain abilities. We focused on the reinterpretation of a closed school located in a deteriorating site, and the characteristics of children with developmental disabilities. The purpose of this study was to propose an appropriate and necessary space for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Research results, that the creation of an environment based on sensory integration has a large effect on the task performance and satisfaction of children with autism spectrum disorders, was critically conceived. Inspired by the biophilic design, which applies the visual effects of nature to spatial design, the design concept for creating a healing environment for sensory integration was proposed. First, the geographical and socio-communal conditions of the deteriorated and closed Yeomgang Elementary School region were analyzed. Thereafter, in selecting a program to revitalize an aging area, a program based on healing agriculture was derived as an economically independent space that could directly produce agricultural products by connecting the surrounding green areas. Finally, the strategy for space composition was presented to share the perception of developmental disabilities, and the spatial environment was differentiated by focusing on the change in behavior according to severity. This architectural design project presents new healing cultural facilities that share the recognition of autism spectrum disorder in the Yeomgang Elementary School region. Consequently, citizens can enjoy together in a healing facility for children with developmental disabilities to be reborn as a new cultural base in the region.
