The following photos are of a special school for autistic children. The building was designed by Andrei Tchernikhov. Our friends, Mikhail Karpovsky an architect and Yury Slivnitsky a psychologist told us that Tchernikhov, an architect, started his work on this project by such a thorough study of the psychology of autistic children that actually turned into an autistic child for several hours and in this state he produced the general design. The idea is that autistic childten are so immersed into themselves that they fail to communicate with the world outside them and this building was designed to arouse their attention and make them notice that there is something worth their attention outside themselves.
