Abstract

This thesis is an investigation into how design can facilitate and enhance learning for students with Autism Spectrum Disorders. By designing for groups of people with very specific needs, we learn how architecture can adequately provide for the more general population. In doing so, the research brings into question how best we can educate children with special needs and how design can adapt to provide for the changing needs of students today . Located on the Red River in Fargo, North Dakota, the development of a specialized school for children with ASD allows architecture to become a tool in and of itself for learning and personal growth.
