Strategies for the Architectural Space Design of Special Education Resource Center in China

Space usage status issues.

Lack of functional typesLack of experimental research and demonstration teaching spaceDevelopmental assessment (language and development) and professional testing (audio-visual and body movement) from both educational assessment and medical assessment, but most of them are assessed by ordinary machines and scales. Only Qingpu District has a professional hearing test evaluation room worth 1.5 million yuan (Figure 5(a)).
Lack of professional testing function
Incomplete functional configurationLack of teachers and physicians living and working spaceThe office is set in the rehabilitation training room. Microwaves and refrigerators can only be set at the corner of the stairwell for daily use (Figure 5(b)).
Single internal functionPet room only sets up feeding area, lack of activity area (Figure 5(c)).
Unreasonable scale and organizationInsufficient space scaleIt is attached to a special education school, with unclear relationship positioning, large limitations of existing building reconstruction, and unable to effectively allocate special education resources. The total scale and the single spatial scale are small (Figure 5(d)).
Improper functional partitioningDifferent functions are interspersed with each other, resulting in great interference.
Single form and function solidificationUnable to extend functionalityThe art rehabilitation training area adopts the layout of classrooms, which lacks flexible expansion areas, and it is not conducive to various forms of teaching and communication and interaction (Figure 5(e)).
Unable to expand spaceSmall space separation, fixed facilities, lack of flexibility to expand. For example, the picture book reading room in Changning District is transformed at the expense of the director’s room (Figure 5(f)).
