We believe that one of the best solutions that architecture can suggest is to leave the definition of education, which has many aspects from academic studies to the social and personal development of the students and is constantly updated, to the educators and in this regard to produce appropriate spaces.
Creating spaces interpreted with this approach is likely to increase the experience of alternatives, the stimulation of curiosity, and the sustainability of the child's psychological development and socialization abilities through educational opportunities related to seeing, touching, socializing, and experimenting that turns into the primary input of the design.
​
Considering the age groups of primary and secondary schools, we offer a whole set of volumes with increased use of possibilities so that it is ensured when the students leave the classroom, education, games, activities, meetings, and discussions take place within these volumes.
On the other hand, the semi-permeable facade, which surrounds the whole building, produces its energy, can make heat insulation and solar controls, and regulates the visual relationship with the exterior, is a surface that surrounds the entire volume set.
By putting the education units to one end of the plot, a plinth is created on the ground floor, which allows utilization of the defined wide green area surrounded by the building. The plinth also creates an interface between the garden and the education units by increasing the green space use via continuous use of the roof around the whole building.
​
All sports fields, workshops, activity areas, and club rooms are located on the plinth related directly to the garden. Thanks to indoor and outdoor activities, from which children and their families can benefit on weekends and leisure time, the campus becomes a permanent living space.
