Spaces
‘My eyes work like everybody else’s, so I see what you see, but I do not experience it like you experience it’.
‘Changes of colour on the floor are tricky, because they can tamper with perception of depth. I can’t see whether what’s being indicated is a step up or a step down, or not'.
The above quotes by people with autism indicate highly sensitive responses to space and the built environment. We continually monitor and evaluate what people we collaborate with ‘tell’ us, sometimes non-verbally, about the spaces we work in.
Over some years we have designed bespoke spaces in which to conduct workshops as well as show work. These have been developed in direct response to the impact that particular spaces have on people who have complex needs.
