Abstract

Throughout history, human needs are constantly changing. Meet some of these needs, like building for various aspects are willing to spend more money and time. Due to the increasing population and limited urban environment, the need to build structures that have a more lasting and are flexible enough to meet the different needs of the community is more considered. Therefore, mankind has been in search of ways that can increase the durability of his building, as a result, more people can do different activities and each activity can be related to their own time. In this study, It is intended to investigate the use of the features of flexibility in making schools which is one of the most important buildings for humans and its stability over time is considered. The study of school architecture has been done due to the use of three flexible approaches including, elements of flexibility, types of flexibility, and scales flexibility. It seems that the criteria for the design of educational facilities are set based on these three approaches and it has been tried to use these features and results to design an educational complex with a flexible approach. The method used in this study is descriptive and analytical and the argument is inductive.
