AI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract: The concept of Special Needs encompasses the particular requirements of individuals with illnesses or conditions that make it challenging for them to perform activities like others. While society aims to support these individuals through additional services, the facilities they interact with, such as schools, hospitals, and urban environments, often fail to address their needs adequately. This lack of inclusivity leads to stigmatization, isolation, and worsened symptoms. Inclusive Architecture, derived from Inclusive Design, seeks to prevent the exclusion of any group by creating buildings that cater to the needs of the public. Inclusive Architecture goes beyond accommodating people with disabilities and encompasses factors like acoustics, aesthetics, biophilic design, security, and wayfinding. This thesis explores the challenges and implementation of inclusive architecture in interior architecture and design, focusing on its outcomes and benefits for individuals with special needs. The research objectives involve identifying the challenges faced by individuals with special needs in traditional interior design, understanding the challenges faced by architects and designers in providing suitable solutions, and analyzing existing facilities and designs to raise awareness and emphasize their utility and necessity. The methodology includes sourcing existing specialized products in interior design, assessing their quality and accessibility, and studying successful facilities that embody inclusive architecture. This research targets architects, interior architects, designers, and public authorities involved in the approval of public facility construction. The aim is to emphasize that inclusive architecture for individuals with special needs should be considered, if not mandated, in the requirements specification for any building project. Keywords: Special Needs, inclusive architecture, interior architecture, design, inclusivity, accessibility, acoustics, aesthetics, biophilic design, security, wayfinding, public facilities.
