Every child has the right to a happy life, and children with disabilities are no exception. Unfortunately, children with one or another diseases are less likely than other children to go outside, visit public places and communicate with their peers. The reason is the lack of an accessible and "kindly" environment.

Therefore, the project proposes a children's inclusive center of development and social realization in the city of Kazan. The essence of the center is the unification of several areas: medicine, additional education, sports and leisure. Thus, the center is divided by functions into constructively independent blocks united by a central space in which recreation, a zone of communication and rest zone are located.

The center designed to be visited by both disabled and normally developing children. Here, the child can undergo a medical examination, and after this, receive a course of treatment and get recommendations for parents. Based on them, the child will be able to go to music, drawing, dancing or other classes. The center is aimed at uniting all children in a single space and rallying them in a friendly team.

Disable children should be socially adapted and more likely visit other children and adults. Such a center should become a place where children spend time playing, resting, learning new things, communicating, sharing their experiences and adopting it from other children and adults. And the architecture should inspire and push children to these processes.
