Abstract: (9 Views)
Educational spaces have been utilized for various purposes throughout history and across different periods. The concept of flexibility in the architecture of educational spaces enables them to effectively align with diverse educational goals in response to environmental changes. The Aghabozorg Mosque-School in Kashan serves as a successful example of a 'flexible' religious-educational space. While previous research on flexibility in educational spaces has primarily focused on contemporary schools, cultural-religious spaces from the Qajar era in Iran have received limited attention. Among the surviving spaces from this period, the Aghabozorg Mosque-School stands out as a structure worthy of examination.
This research aims to identify and explain the concepts of flexibility in the Aghabozorg Mosque-School and propose applications of these concepts to inform the principles of flexible design for future cultural venues. It addresses the question of which flexibility concepts were incorporated in the design of the Aghabozorg Mosque-School and how these concepts can be applied to modern cultural spaces, such as mosques and schools.
The study employs a descriptive-analytical method, gathering flexibility-related information from library sources. Subsequently, the flexibility characteristics of the Aghabozorg Mosque-School are extracted and analyzed using field study methods. The findings demonstrate that not only were these spaces designed to be flexible in the past, but their flexibility has also evolved alongside their physical transformations. Consequently, this concept has undergone a process of growth and adaptation, and its application in the design of future cultural spaces can enhance the quality of these spaces and their responsiveness to the changing needs of users and society.
