Abstract

This study stems from the social and consequent analysis of the existence of the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) together with Down Syndrome, the understanding of these conditions and each one of their needs. The social and familiar difficulty that evokes in the people who live with them day by day, give to the architecture the required importance on the objective response to the user. This motivation is paramount in the development of the research, which has an essential purpose, to create knowledge and raise awareness. The identification of general aspects that led to generate a design strategy, with greater consideration of the sensory part and its application in physical spaces, which seek to strengthen the autonomy and welfare in everyday life, such as appropriate furniture, organic forms, colorimetry and neuroarchitecture in all its aspects, was carried out. Finally, the architectural design was carried out, as indicated in the chapter that concludes this research, which takes into account determining aspects such as natural context, landscape, urban planning, accessibility; which in a continuous work process work in a key, simple and assertive way.
