Abstract:

It has been proven that existing research regarding the relationship between Architectural Space and people with Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is scarce, despite extensive research being carried out in recent years into Autism. Many definitions of “architecture” have been put forward throughout history, all of them coinciding in the fact that its main objective or purpose is “dwelling” Norberg Shultz (1980) states that, in order to research and understand an architectural space, it is necessary to understand existential space, that is, the concept of space that allows man to create a stable image of what surrounds him, at the same time allowing him and enabling him to belong to a society and culture.
