SI.CA.RÚ: Onde a beleza encontra a singularidade. Anteprojeto de um Centro Multidisciplinar: para criança com o Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA) e seus familiares, no município de Pombal-PB.

Abstract

This Final Graduation Project proposes the preliminary design of a Multidisciplinary Center aimed at children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and their families, located in the municipality of Pombal, in the semi-arid region of Paraíba, Brazil. Rooted in the author’s personal experience with the subject, the project seeks to combine architecture, care, and social awareness, promoting therapeutic, educational, and affective spaces based on principles of neuroarchitecture, bioclimatic design, and inclusion. The research includes an in-depth analysis of the specific needs of autistic children and the emotional, psychological, and social challenges faced by their families particularly atypical parents. The methodological process comprises literature review, documentary and field research, analysis of architectural references, and the development of architectural solutions guided by strategies of accessibility, environmental comfort, and sensory stimulation. As a result, the project presents a proposal that not only meets therapeutic demands but also values individual uniqueness, transforming space into a tool for care, belonging, and dignity.
