Inclusivity of architecture is an idea of creating a space for a human to use or enter the space without any discrimination and has an aspect of warm welcoming feeling. The idea of inclusivity of architecture that is going to be look upon in Malaysia is the education part whereby there is always a separation and discrimination for the disable group of people. Even though, inclusivity is growing better in the other categories such as providing facilities in public space and taking up consideration for other issue there is still lack of this element in schools. It is believed that creating a better society starts from educating the children from young and allowing them to mingle with everyone. This could be a good opportunity to look upon the disable children to be a part of them whereby they will have a better self-confidence and feeling of not being discriminated. Architecture will be one of the way to create this inclusivity by having an integrated schools and space for a better living society in future. So, I would like to study how could ordinary schools in Malaysia can be more inclusive in welcoming the disable people to be a part of it.
