The Antonio Gaudí Foundation collaborates in the project for the construction of a Day Center for people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). It’s called “Gateateca” for its specialization in Animal Assisted Interventions (AAI) with the help of cats, and will be located in Mar del Plata (Argentina). The framework of the entrepreneurship is the agreement signed with the NGO Abriendo Caminos, which proposed as a premise that the building be inspired by the work of the renowned architect Antonio Gaudí as a reason for attraction to promote social awareness of ASD.
The Park Güell of Barcelona, space conceived for the development of a healthy life in contact with nature, was the work of Gaudí that was adopted as the generating idea for the design of the building. Its famous pavilions were reformulated so to adapt them to the characteristics of the site. The designs of the undulating bench and a stone portico were also incorporated into the project.
