Autism is a pervasive developmental disorder characterized by difficulties in social communication and repetitive behaviors, so this particular group is also known as "Children Of The Stars." Because they are like the stars, one of them, one of the world, and one of their brightness.
In Australia, such groups are gradually increasing. They deserve more listening, understanding, and attention. Some people say it's a natural gift, others say it's a barrier to self-expression. Objectively speaking, it's both. Fortunately, through the intervention of architecture, the negative effects can be gradually improved or even eliminated. This project focuses on the most typical group of people with Autism - teenagers and young adults with Autism. Through establishing common interests and lifestyles from different people, the engagement and connection between people are enhanced. Moreover, the co-living mode is further adopted to find the answer to the problem. The big idea is to let ‘individuals’ return to ‘family’.
Stars are beautiful, to be sure, but the star that twinkles alone cannot light up the night. Everyone strongly believes that one day, all the stars would wander together in the Milky Way and shine in their brightest light.
