Rethinking Iran’s Rural School Buildings. Spatial and process design for a primary school building in Sistan & Baluchestan

In the late 19th century, Iran faced significant civil changes, necessitating educational reform. Despite modernization efforts, political and religious obstacles hindered development, focusing more on ideology than children's growth. This stagnation led to poor education quality, inadequate educational facilities, and urban-rural inequality. Limited government resources prompted philanthropists to improve rural educational access, but dropout rates remain high. This study examines crucial events impacting Iran's education system. Focusing on Sistan & Baluchestan Province, the project proposes a new school design for rural areas to enhance learning and resolve construction shortcomings of current schools through local and charitable collaborations.
