CONCLUSION
Architecture for Autism
What is Autism? Originating from the Greek word autos, which refers to as self, living a solitary world, where no social interaction and involvement matters. An Individual ,who conceptualize his living, create their own rules and regulations.
Socio-cultural issues faced by Parents. Through this Project , Attempt is to understand socio-cultural

issues a family or parents face, while taking care of an Autistic individual. Addressing the mental situation of parents, the injustice they face with respect to urban and rural culture.

Autism is not a disability !
we also have an obligation that we are able to design for everyone. What we have experienced
and have learned is to design for an individual who is capable, able, walking, expressive man. But what can we do for the one who can’t express what they see, hear and have controlled emotion,
As the brain, development disorder is not always a low functioning disorder , but many a times a high functioning autism, where an individual has an average or above-average intelligence. Through this project we explore the possibilities for their upbringing.

Integrated Green Design (IGD) Approach
Form Orientation of Individual Living facilities For Children with Autism
• The overall Context of the Program was oriented to an angle of 30 degree based on the adaptation to wind. • As most part of the module enacted as a detached form it distributed the wind equally and was aligned N-S. • In case of variant orientation natural cooling strategies, like water bodies or clustered and courtyard forms were adopted.

Idea is an adaptation from the book called Precedence in Architecture, where we try to formulate design and spaces through geometric forms and establishing spaces within.
The design further formulated the intent of designing with considerations taken for sensory design for Autism. • A linear corridor is created for ease in way finding. • Along with Compartmentation of spaces can be observed during the process. • As an easy translation of signages, muted colors are been used to indicate spaces and classrooms.
