The light of redemption ——- children from the stars

Firstly, we’ll talk about our inspiration. In recent years, the number of children diagnosed with autism in China has shown an alarming increase, which has aroused extensive attention from all walks of life to this special group.Therefore, in modern society, how to use the way of design to alleviate the disease of such people, so that their psychological stability and healing, in order to improve their rehabilitation efficiency, this is our original intention and vision. Through the analysis of the literature on the mechanism and intervention treatment of autism in recent years, we draw a conclusion that the rehabilitation environment has a great influence on the effect of rehabilitation treatment of autistic children. The rehabilitation of autism is a long-term and complex process, and the natural scenery and good outdoor space environment can promote the effect of rehabilitation. Although each person with autism is different and unique, light and nature have a universal positive effect on it.Therefore, our design integrates light and nature into the building, using two physical properties of light scattering — Dundar effect and light refraction — light color as the healing medium between the building and suspected autistic children.By studying the way of building window opening and the application of building materials, light is introduced into the building to the maximum extent, and a light environment with healing effect is created for suspected autism patients. First is given priority to with visual perception, diversified expression of sensory experience, has the cure effect of total light, reference traditional toys jigsaw puzzle changeful shape as a form of indoor lighting, light to followchanges with the shape of the shadow of the sun Angle, to attract children attention, become a medium of children interact with others;Secondly, colored glass is selected to fill the indoor space with the colors that autistic children like, so as to improve their concentration ability, relieve their brain pressure, and ensure their ability to distinguish colors, so that they are willing to contact the outside world and feel the different colors of the outside world.The hope is to create a beam of holy light to illuminate their lonely world and guide them to communicate and interact with the outside world.Squatting in the corner of the suspected autistic child saw a girl standing in the light, the light seemed to let her see the hope, when the light of the girl to her,she accepted.She has changedShe became curious about theworld and tried to accept and understand this world.Reaching a consensus,they enter a corridor that blend in with nature.After walking through the corridor, they enter a space filled with color.The turquoise of the interior makes them feel warm and peaceful.They play games and interact with eachother in the space where the light refracts off the glass and falls to the ground, forming a blue-green shadow.

Secondly, in order to realize our idea, we start from the following two aspects:1.Characteristics of different window opening forms:The side window:steel frame supports triangular’s casement;Snowflakes window:add fun light and shadow effect;The roof window:the way of opening windows on the roof selects single elements of the building to form triangular skylights;Open round holes of different size and density close to the ground,whichcan be adjusted by children.

2.Available materials and operability:Epoxy resin: Epoxy resin AB glue according to the mass ratio of 3:1, volume ratio of 2.5:1, add color corn flour CAS at least 5g. Accordingto the requirements of the proportion, according to the saturation and accordingto the addition of the difference in color change.

Atmosphere glass: Including internal and external glass, all glass is provided with a hollow layer, all hollow layer cavity is provided with a solid sol layer, solid sol layer on the back of the strengthening layer. The solid sol layer is provided with crystal blocks, which are chamfered cone crystal and tobacco crystal glass crystal. The overall thickness of the glass is 12mm, the outer glass and the inner glass are 4mm ordinary glass, with silicon as the main element. The thickness of solid sol layer is 2mm, and the thickness of reinforcing layer is 2mm.

Colored glass:Colored glass is made by adding colouring agent to ordinary glass or using colouring agent to make glass color.

Finally, we sincerely put forward some suggestions.We boldly propose that we can change the shape and material of the skylight to meet the needs of different people. This means more possibilities, changing the glass material, using colored glass in children’s rooms, mobile homes in hospitals. Change the shape of the skylight and add hollow baffle or other forms of shielding to project the shape of the light into the space to increase the interest of life.
