inclusive, accepting, celebrating diversity

BACoN - [Building for Awareness and Co-existence with Neurodiversity] is a body of research that seeks to explore the design of the built environment as a holistic support framework for autistic students in higher education by recommending and shedding light on holistic disability supports, pedagogical innovations and inclusive design solutions. By employing high-performance strategies, the proposed student hub envisions a future university environment that considers both ASD-centric and universal design principles to support both autistic students as well as the broader student population.

The proposed student hub is organised around a series of natural environments based on hierarchies in scale and privacy, providing a variety of social mixing spaces to encourage social skill development across all levels. By blurring the distinction between ‘inside’ and ‘outside’, nature and greenery is interwoven throughout the building, which can lead to better educational outcomes for autistic students.
