INTO SPACE

This project focuses on bringing awareness to the public on Autism and how it affects those who suffer from it. Through exploring the idea of play, I looked at technological forms of play rather than the physical, more specifically Virtual Reality. In order to bring further awareness to Autism, an extension of the building was added for a Virtual Reality pavilion, to experience the effects of Autism as well as scenarios which will help to develop their skills in terms of social interaction and to help to overcome any overwhelming fears and phobias. Whilst also creating a space to encourage and stimulate physical learning, through a range of senses. The project looks into ways in which spaces can be developed for those with Autism, specifically how these spaces can cater to hypersensitivity and hyposensitivity.
