Abstract

Social issues:

When children with autism and Asian identity overlaid, it can lead to greater marginalization of children and families of Asian origin with autism. These Asian children cannot get social support because of cultural barriers and different languages. Also, the parents of autistic children are isolated under tremendous pressure.

The goal of Design:

The autistic school focuses on providing a healthy space for Asian autistic

children and their families to learn how to raise their children correctly. On the one hand, it helps Asian autistic children better adapt to public life and build bridges with society through exercise. On the other hand, the space aims to alleviate the parenting anxiety of Asian autistic children and build a social network for ethnic minorities, such as providing psychological counseling, educational counseling, and creating public service activities. Secondly, the space is also responsible for educating the public about autism. For this reason, the building includes a meeting room to support social activities and a pavilion to exhibit the works of autistic children.

Background Research

Autism, or the autism spectrum disorder, refers to a range of conditions affecting social skills, behaviors, speech, and nonverbal communication. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there are approximately 347,000 children with autism in the United States, and one in 88 children with autism is of Asian descent by race. (1&2)

“If you have a child with autism, then your family is culturally shamed because your family is not a good gene pool, or the parents did something wrong,” said Dr. Young Shin Kim (2017). Surviving in the cracks, AsianAmerican families with autism face difficulties in American society such as language barriers, divisive shocks, and lack of social resources. And culturally, families in Asian communities sometimes hide the fact that a family member has a disability, whether it is a developmental condition such as autism or another mental disorder. And revealing a mental disorder can jeopardize the child’s future and the family’s reputation.

A survey researching the relationship between social support in parenting stress and life satisfaction for parents of children with autism in China writes: Studies revealed that parenting stress had deleterious effects on parents and children, and could influence the development of depression, anxiety, marital relationship problems, and child executive functioning difficulties.

Social pressure (from all sides) places psychological pressure on Asian parents, which generates a vicious cycle, consequently affecting the family and children's development. Additionally, parents with a higher level of social support (from family, friends, significant others) may readily use the social resources to reduce the stress. Research suggests that increasing social support is an excellent way to reduce parenting stress for parents with autism.

In summary, it's necessary to have a special school for Asian autistic children and their families through previous research and analysis.

The diagram(3) above describes the sources of stress and the negative consequences for families with autism.

Culture Shock: The significant differences between Asian and American cultures make it difficult for Asian families to integrate into American society.

Language Barriers: Non-native English speakers have difficulty communicating well with local people. Lack of Cognition: Prejudice or lack of understanding of the concept of autism.

Conservating Thinking: Asian families are conservative and facetious and shy away from asking for help from society.

Lack of Social Resources: Asian parents adjust to a new social environment and do not have the connections and resources to access social resources.

Parenting Stress: A range of family and culture-of-origin stressors can cause anxiety among Asian parents. This stress can affect family harmony and the development of the child with autism.

Child Growth: Children with autism need the support of their families to get the proper guidance and treatment as early as possible.

User Investigation

Autistic children: as the primary users of the space, will receive scientific guidance and establish communication with the community. Most of the space is private for children, and a small part is a semi-open public space. The intimate space provides different activities for the children, while the semi-open area responses to display the children's works and promote the children's interaction with the public.

Parents: Learn how to communicate more effectively with their children and promote the parent-child relationship.

Teachers: Guide children to grow up more healthily in a scientific way. Psychologists: Help parents and children get psychological guidance and give social presentations to help the public better understand autism. In addition, we use our experience to conduct academic research to enhance the development of treatment for children with autism.

Diagram(4) expresses the relational interaction and social impact between different groups of people. At its core is creating a healthy environment for Asian autistic children to grow up in and increasing the social prevalence of autistic children.

Design Proposal:

Program Investigation

The historic U.S. Army Depot at Fort Mason on the edge of San Francisco Bay is being renovated by Leddy Maytum Stacy Architects (LMSA) as the San Francisco Art Institute (SFAI) campus. The redesigned space retains the original spaciousness and brightness of the historic building, with a new two-story structure gently nestled within the historic, light-filled volume. This bright, light atmosphere and abundant daylight combined with the San Francisco Bay ocean views provide an excellent foundation for the design of autistic children.

Spatial Arrangement& Concept:

The new project seeks to continue the interactive nature of the space with the public, retaining the hollow spaces to support public-facing activities such as lectures, performances, and volunteer work. The redesign of the original space with a large number of small semi-open spaces provides a more private learning space for children with autism. Additionally, the big

theater from the original space can be retained as a performance space for children with autism and space for public-facing lectures.

ASD Specialty:

The spatial arrangement for children with autism, the avoidance of noise, the dislike of episodes, and the clarity of the school layout were all emphasized.

Commonly those with ASC like structure and order in their lives (Williams,1996; Whitehurst, 2006; Lawson, 2011). This means that the legibility of space is important, and this need for legibility, structure, and rationale is evident in many student designs. Additionally, Transitions and variety in circulation areas can help children with autism transition more comfortably from one space to another. In particular, space (and time) is required to prepare to enter noisy places like restaurants and sports halls. And provide fast-track access to noisy areas to reach quiet spaces so that stimuli can be quickly avoided when autistic children feel uncomfortable.

Children with autism are particularly susceptible to mood changes due to lighting. Lights that are mellow in color, such as blue, can help children relax and be creative. On the other hand, flickering, buzzing, or harshly colored lights can confuse and even harm them. Therefore, it is vital to have controllable and monitored lighting in your child's room. In addition to artificial lighting, natural lighting also has its effects. Natural lighting has been proven to be beneficial for children with autism. Designs need to consider the preferred lighting environment of children with autism. For example, softer and less saturated light needs to be considered more often. It is also essential to make the child's activity areas accessible to natural lighting whenever possible. The further design will also need to review more relevant research to refine the feasibility.

Greenery:

Shibata and Suzuki (2004) found that indoor plants positively affect

emotional state and creative task performance. Other studies have shown the impact of a view through a window, i.e., a natural environment could restore and prolong the capacity for concentration (Tennessen and Cimprich 1995; Faber Taylor et al. 2002; Kaplan 2001). The design uses the lightrich area in the center of the building to incorporate greenery and create an indoor planting space for children. The planting and cultivation process is used to close the communication between parents and children. And the semi-open planting space can also be used as a public visiting pavilion.

Design Patterns:

Environment: water feature, indoor planting

Spacial Orientation: High in the center, low around, public participation, visibility,legibility

Programmatic: Flexibility, open and private partitions, different user routes

Color: Soft, low saturation, low irritation, close to nature

As shown in the diagram: The design wanted to separate the public spaces from the autistic children's areas and walking routes so that public activities would not interfere. However, the design aims to retain a slight overlap between the public and children's spaces to increase the general understanding of autism and help children adapt to society. Staffs' workspace will be placed in the middle and include a counseling room to meet the needs of both parents and children for the counselor. It is also convenient for the teachers to attend to the students while receiving the public.

Site Selection and Existing Conditions

The Fort Mason Officers Club contributes to the Fort Mason Port of Embarkation National Historic Landmark.

In 1877, this wood-frame Italianate building was constructed for General Irvin McDowell, who commanded the Military Division of the Pacific. McDowell Hall at Fort Mason is one of San Francisco's nearly forgotten historic treasures. Tucked away in a tree-shaded hillside overlooking Aquatic Park, the building's origins stretch back to the end of the Civil War when the U.S. Army decided to seize and remodel a house on this location as the residence for the senior Command General of the army's vast Department of the Pacific.

Constructed of wood instead of masonry, as was typical on the eastern seaboard, the structure represents a local California adaptation of a popular American architectural style of the 1870s. The most significant wall feature of this building is the original wooden, horizontal lap siding, visible on the western elevations and at the 2nd floor of the three other elevations. At the western elevation, the lap siding is interrupted at 12'-6"

by a decorative band of vertical drop siding and then again at the top of the second floor, at the decorative roof brackets. The historic siding on the front of the building is in good condition.

The building has a concrete foundation. The walls on the first floor are mainly flat gypsum wall panels painted or wallpapered. The walls on the second floor are painted flat plaster and painted flat plaster wallboard. The ceilings are still plaster.The basement walls and foundation walls of the portions of the original construction with crawl spaces were constructed of unreinforced stone masonry with some areas being of brick masonry construction. The two story structure above grade is of wood frame construction with studs and straight sheathing.The floors have diagonal sheathing on wood joists. The walls were originally plaster on wood lath but recent investigation has revealed that most or all of the original plaster has been removed with gypsum board sheathing installed over the original wood lath.
