CHILDREN'S UNIVERSITY

After the site analysis of the given site which is located between the AGU and AGU student village, it was found that the area is flat which is perfect for getting natural light into the structure. Another finding was the existence of the woodlands and the habitat which should be preserved. The need for sustainable solutions is getting started to be a vital problem.  The main focus is preserving the existing, respecting the existing, and not harming the existing nature. The need for sustaining nature there and providing meeting of children and the nature is valid.
​
The synthesis shows that there is a need for sustainable student universities on the site. Several sustainable elements such as green roof, constructed wetland, biology pond, and two different kinds of façade were located to achieve the main goal. The water treatment system is working as reusing the wastewater and also collecting and filtering the storm water to make it usable on the children's university. The wastewater treatment system is working with a green roof, constructed wetland, and biology pond together. Another role of the biology pond would be feeding the plantation areas in the landscape of the building. The façade design includes 2 different kinds which are parametric façade and the morph façade. The parametric façade includes panels that turn sunlight into electrical energy when the sunlight reaching dense. The morph façade is designed to replace the previous homes of the birds and creating a habitat with the bird homes and small plantation-like flowers on the façade. Also, the education system works with the same aim, teaching how to protect the nature and how to take responsibility of the plants are priority.
​
In the plan organization, it can be seen that there is a flow of privacy. The public spaces are located on the northern side while semi-public places are located in the center of the building. The public space includes the theatre hall which the families visit to watch their child’s performance and the semi-public place includes the common hall which AGU students come and arrange activities about the environmental issues, how can we solve them and how should we recycle our wastes. The private places include the inner classroom and the outdoor classroom pavilion which represents a tree that provides nice shades for the children.
​
The building has 3 different entrances which are the main entrance which is for the pedestrians, the entrance for the ones coming from the parking slot, and another entrance for the ones that are visitors and came for the theatre performance in the theatre hall. The second entrance also directs people to the teacher’s lounge and administration to make it easier to access these sections. To conclude, the main aim for designing a sustainable children university is preserving and respecting nature and raising children with an awareness of the need for sustainable solutions. It is viral to save energy, have a healthier environment, and contribute to creating a greener future world. It is recommended that increasing the structures that emphasize the need for a sustainable world for a better future for everyone.
