DESENVOLVIMENTO E INCLUSÃO: ARQUITETURA PARA UM CENTRO DE APOIO A CRIANÇAS COM TDAH E AUTISMO INFANTIL

Abstract

This thesis explores the intersection of architecture, sensory psychology, and support for children with ADHD and autism, focusing on a site located in the city of Barão de Cocais, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The research aims to develop an architectural preliminary design for a support center, emphasizing the creation of an inclusive space tailored to the sensory needs of these children, fostering socialization and well-being. The proposal for a support center for children with ADHD and autism in Barão de Cocais, offering specialized and inclusive services, is a step towards creating an environment that promotes the socialization and development of these children. In addition to discussing local legislation and history, the study includes site analysis, topographic and climatic surveys, as well as photographic documentation of the surroundings. Such a center would not only meet local needs but also positively impact the city by raising awareness of these disorders and encouraging social inclusion. Designed to maximize comfort and safety, the space would enhance the quality of life for families and the community as a whole.
