HIGH SCHOOL WITH AN ALTERNATIVE EDUCATION MODEL

The aim of the project is to increase the awareness of restoration and protection of cultural values ​​in a district like Avanos and to enable students who will specialize in art, architecture, or restoration education in the future to experience these beforehand. It has a program that includes lessons such as simple restoration education, material analysis laboratories, sculpture and painting education, model making, photography, and using a digital program. A flexible education area where students can easily reach the garden and fresh air between breaks and where the classrooms are extended towards green areas is considered. The most suitable form that can provide this field has been studied. Circular units that have a courtyard in the middle are connected to each other through the main corridor. The corridors have ceilings 2 meters lower than the classrooms, so they get enough light into the classrooms from both the upper level and the surroundings. The public park, which runs along the riverside, has been continued within the site and this point is the place that connects the school and the local people of Avanos. At the same time, the gardens of the educational units were turned into a courtyard and an open public exhibition area was created which can be an observation area for locals.Auditorium and library units were dug 3 meters to balance the general height of the buildings.. At the same time, the top cover over the corridor provides a direct passage from the public park to the open exhibition area.
