In the last decades, the number of schools in Iran has been rising and through the development of education, the historic type of schools have changed but they always have been sustainable and suitable and responder to all the needs of the society. In this project, the team tried to renovate the sustainable types of schools, through all the impediments of urban designing. By considering the historic type of schools in Iranian architecture we can have dynamic cities that have a healthy society.  In historic types of architecture for schools in Iran, designers could make a place, which we can still consider as the best part of the development of institutional building designs that affect most of the cultural, economic, environmental and social aspects in the country.

Through all these characteristics, the team intended to improve the quality of education and prove that we can have modern schools inspired from origin Iranian architecture through all the hinders that designing an urban space counters with.
