The Pathology of the Interaction of Inside and Outside Space in the Informal learning Spaces of Architecture Schools; Case study: College of Fine Arts and Higher School of Management
Abstract
Today, one of the most important things in a successful educational system is to create a suitable environment for the realization of learning goals. Environmental knowledge, including architecture, plays a significant role in achieving effective learning with the proper foundation of the environment. In addition to formal education, one of the capabilities of universities is to provide a platform for informal education in open and closed spaces. The social life of students in all formal and informal spaces of the college can widely affect the learning process. The current research aims to investigate and analyze the qualitative components of the interaction between inside and outside space in the informal spaces of architecture schools. The relationship between open and closed space (outside and inside) not only creates a discourse for architectural space, but also commits to creating a discourse between students in informal learning spaces. How the informal spaces of architecture schools provide the necessary opportunities for the most effective form of learning by using the qualitative components of interaction between inside and outside space. The main goal is to provide effective spatial indicators for learning in informal spaces. The question raised in this research; What effect does paying attention to the principle of interaction between inside and outside in informal spaces have on the design of architecture schools? In order to answer the research question, while collecting the researchers' statements about the role of the built environment in informal learning, an attempt has been made to investigate the interaction between inside and outside (space open and closed) and influential environmental factors in facilitating or creating restrictions for informal learning. Then, according to the variables obtained in the qualitative analysis, a questionnaire was prepared according to the purpose of the research and 70 architecture students were asked to answer this questionnaire. Finally, quantitative analysis of findings was done using SPSS software. The results of the research have shown that in the architecture of the campus of fine arts, more attention is paid to visual-perceptual transparency and in the architecture of the high school of management, more attention is paid to semantic-conceptual transparency.
