“We shape our buildings thereafter they shape us.”(1) Architecture, impacted by politic, economy, and technology, has been a living machine which do influence our behavior. The majority of people we can adapted to the movement, even use it.

We ignored that there are the “minority” who can not express their feeling and adapt there behavior to general architecture. Those with challenges and special needs are in more need of the possibilities offered by effective architecture and can benefit more from the sensory input that the built environment provides.

The proposal project is a school or care center for children with special needs. Design will be based on research about architectural psychology and behavioral architecture.
