Day centre for young people with autism spectrum disorder by AV62 Arquitectos

The project consists of a new day care center for young people with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) in Derio, Bizkaia.
It is a facility with a large outdoor space where young people will have a very close experience with the set of techniques and knowledge of agriculture and gardening.
The proposed architecture responds to concepts related to ecological awareness, respect for the environment and total sustainability (energy, environmental, social, cultural, and economic). Thus, the building seeks the integration of the group of people with ASD in the municipality, opening up to the citizens of Derio, as well as their training for future entry into the work environment.
The building has a “bioclimatic envelope”, a system comparable to that of an agricultural greenhouse, which regulates the capture of solar radiation and ventilation by means of automatic openings and closings. The outer skin adapts automatically, opening or closing depending on the temperature, humidity, wind and external solar radiation to achieve the best bioclimatic and hygrothermal conditions at all times.
