A DESIGN APPROACH USING BIOGEOMETRY AND AUTISM DESIGN PRINCIPLES IN AUTISM SCHOOLS SPECIALLY (CLASSROOMS) TO IMPROVE THEIR BEHAVIOR AND EDUCATIONAL PERFORMANCE

Abstract

Due to the increasing in psychological diseases of children, especially autism, which causes uncomfortable feeling in their spaces, then it effects on their behavior negatively. Architects neglects their needs, we recognize the problems of unbalanced energy in interior spaces by recognizing the role of the Biogeometry. This research studies the design considerations and needs for autism spaces, with the design principles of Biogeometry, through applying the proposed checklist to autism schools to improve autism behavior and get final assessment for each school.
