In this situation, the creation of intra-garden with game elements may be the only affordable way to commune with nature in a closed volume of apartment high-rise building in a big city. Positive effect of plants on physical and mental health of the child proved scientifically. A properly designed «Green playroom» is able to lighten the mood, stimulate the child to physical activity to relieve stress. Its importance for the inquisitive little man is hard to overestimate. Not only biological, but also «social» connection arise between the child and plants in urban settings. Plants variety of activities child and «heals» indoor climate. Nowadays phytodesign develops actively. «Adaptive» and «game» phytodesign should be its subsections. Its goal is to explore ways of interior landscaping in terms of access for different types of disabled.

But amid all the existing social problems, building houses with gardens for people with disabilities seems unrealistic. However, this is socio-humanistic necessity that society should be carried out in a specific architecture. |
