Abstract
This work is aimed at studying the origination, formation and development of the first institutions in England for abnormal children. The analysis of historical documentation, books, photographs from the collections of the Russian and foreign libraries, and recollections of employees from these institutions help to reconstruct of the building architecture and planning. The study determines the basic laws of the building creation, change, extinction and advantages and disadvantages of the architecture affecting the comfortable conditions of buildings. The latter are intended for the non-trivial functional purpose and reflect the historical connection with the architecture of the building complex. The historical experience is important for further study in this area.
