Abstract: (935 Views)
The design of educational spaces for elementary schools, as a critical challenge in future architecture, has gained significant importance amidst rapid changes in technology, culture, and educational needs. This study aims to identify the key drivers influencing the design of these spaces.This research seeks to identify and analyze the driving forces affecting the design of future educational spaces for elementary schools, offering strategies to address future educational, social, cultural, and architectural demands. This study employs a qualitative futures research approach, classified as descriptive-analytical and applied in terms of purpose. Initially, influential factors were identified and categorized through a library-based review of books and articles. Subsequently, two rounds of surveys were conducted using questionnaires and expert panels. In the first round, elementary school teachers, as education specialists, provided insights on potential future changes. In the second round, architectural experts analyzed the interrelationships between factors by completing a cross-impact matrix. Data analysis was performed using the MICMAC software. Results indicated that the key drivers include integration with cultural elements, green spaces blended with nature, complex and irregular forms, low-rise structures surrounding a central courtyard, digital and modular facades, utilization of roofs and terraces, modular and flexible floor plans, and supportive and caregiving spaces. These drivers have the most significant influence on shaping future educational spaces. The analysis of drivers suggests that the design of future schools should emphasize national and cultural identity, foster connections with nature, incorporate flexibility and innovation in design, and integrate technology with social values.
