In this project, using the central courtyard is not only related to creating proper ventilation and creating shade in the school environment; by using the central courtyard, we have tried to bring the natural and green environment into the heart of the building so that students can make their studies in school feel alive.

Creating a green environment in the center of a building surrounded by large windows allows students to have a direct view of the courtyard and the events in the corridors, library, and dining area.

In this school, the classrooms have at least one internal glass wall through which they can directly view the outside of the class. Based on this, students focus on their lessons with the thought that there is no special event happening outside the class. Glass walls also cause people outside the class to monitor the activities inside the classrooms.
