Further research: Patricia Urquiola
Patricia Urquiola is a Spanish designer and architect who brightens up her designs. where she combines styles, looks and materials. Patricia Urquiola begins every project by developing an empathetic connection with the user that ultimately interact with her design. It is known as the fundamental elements which keeps her on track throughout the design process considering spaces in relation to people '“fundamental element” as he used to call, the basis of each project which always keeps her on track and accompanies her whole design process' (Purquiola nd). Patricia Urquiola has founded her studio in 2001 where she started to become famous and known to everyone and everyone loved her work. In addition, to designing building and things, studio Uqruiola is regularly asked to consider the future of work environment's, transportation and manufacturing cycles. establishing connections between industrial research, and handicraft, tradition and innovation and technology. Also Pactricia Urquiola proponent which combines social, technological, and humanistic elements. Where her approach to design thinking combines problem solving with romoving preconceptions to uncover creative links between the known and the unknown Patricia Urquiola believes in an original design point of view merging humanistic, technological and social approaches. Her design thinking is the intersection of challenges and breaking prejudices, finding unexpected connections between the familiar and the unexplored. (Purquiola nd). which is why I was interested in looking at her work in relation to my own project Autism room. By incorporating her aesthetic and design principles into my work, I can create an environment that promotes well-being and enhance the overall experience for children with autism.
In the image below, is one of Pitricia natural work that takes over the LV store. Each part of the space is invaded by sand dunes and other dessert features get into each part of the space, that create a fantastical nature, allowing the the furniture to gather in tiny groups in this location. Like a nomadic population exploring a new territory. The whole atmosphere, consisting of dunes, walls, and columns, is finished in a peach pink finish with a texture that is grainy to create a neutral environment for the presented furniture. Also I see a blending traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design. Each piece is carefully crafted using high quality materials and attention to details from a luxurious sofas and chairs to elegant lamps and tables. she showcased how art and design can come together to create inspiring and captivating environments. Furthermore, the light is focused on each piece and soft not strong light on the remaining empty spaces, with a LED screen with video playback placed between the artificial dunes. additionally, the space planing is easy to navigate where its really great for autistic children as it reduce confusion on how to get to different areas within the area as it was stated by (philadelphia, n.d.) to add more Clear and simple spatial layout providing a simple spatial organization helps people with ASD to navigate the space independently and with ease (Tola et al., 2021). Lastly, Urquiola project can help and create a great space for people with autism. Where she helped me how to think about my own project by considering design in relation with autism people.

You have written some good points here although you only have one reference and I really think you ned at least three. When considering this space you could have looked at research on space planning for autistic children and really incorporated this into your research to make it stronger. Here is just one example https://www.research.chop.edu/car-autism-roadmap/autism-friendly-design-ideas#:~:text=The%20space%20within%20the%20building,autism%20when%20they%20become%20overwhelmed.
