Необходимость создания межпоколенческих центров (МПЦ) обусловлена глобальными социокультурными изменениями общества, такими как возрастная сегрегация, культурный разрыв между поколениями и возрастная ценностная асимметрия. Изучаемая проблема является актуальной в связи с отсутствием научно проработанных концепций архитектурно-пространственной среды МПЦ в России. Цель данного исследования – выявление особенностей формирования архитектурно-пространственной среды МПЦ. Проведен анализ теоретических концепций и практического опыта проектирования МПЦ, на основе чего сформулированы принципы и приемы формирования архитектурно-пространственной среды МПЦ.

The paper investigates some design peculiarities of public green spaces used by mobility- and visually–impaired citizens. The subject of studying is a sensory garden as a tool enabling to acquire important knowledge, develop skills, control emotions, and maintain self-confidence by people with special needs. The paper aims at establishing the techniques of creating a sensory garden in a visually-impaired children’s school area based on universal (inclusive) design concepts. To this end, the paper generalizes works on forming a universal design for mobility-impaired population; considers ornamental plant assortments and the effect of introducing ornamental flora in the south of Primorsky Krai (Region); a research project has been done on landscape arranging a visually-impaired school area in the town of Artyom, Primorsky Krai (Region). As a result, a sensory garden universal design has been created which takes into consideration emotional, sensual and physical needs of physically-challenged school students who cannot feel the same as other society members in public places due to their special needs. The proposed project solution may have a positive therapeutic healing effect on school students which results from being in nature and which would allow mobility-impaired children to experience the same senses during their walks as ordinary kids do.

The creation of an urban environment designed taking into account the needs of people with disabilities is currently one of the priority areas of state, social and urban planning policy, the practical results of which are aimed at ensuring equal opportunities with other citizens in various fields of work, life, and leisure. The objective is to identify the features of greening for blind and visually impaired people in the conditions of the city of Vladivostok. To achieve the goal, it is necessary to solve the following problems: to determine the assortment of ornamental plants and to identify compositional techniques of landscape design that ensure the possible use of non-visual receptors (auditory, olfactory, tactile, etc.) by blind people, and also, enhance the impact on the visual perception of the visually impaired when they orient in the environment. As a result of the study, the assortments of ornamental plants and compositional methods of greening for the conditions of the city of Vladivostok were identified, which facilitate the orientation of blind and visually impaired people in an urban environment and allow the formation of an accessible environment for people with visual impairments.
