"Sahman-e Hit school” is located in Sarbaz city, in the most deprived province of the country (Sistan and Baluchestan). This deprivation is especially present in the educational issues of children and adolescents and has made them vulnerable to receiving the quality and quantity of education.
This school tries to appreciate the important and valuable effects of the natural, cultural, social, artistic, and architectural arrays of the Sistan and Baluchestan climate, and at the same time its qualities in the design and creation of space. Come out to use the soil and canvas of the area. With a context-oriented architecture approach, in line with the context and elements of the region, this school offers a new interpretation of the indigenous architecture of the village and reminds us that the indigenous climate, as a result of the experiences of the values of that region, can be redesigned in a new guise. And be a continuation of the culture, art, and architecture of its people.
As the school is known as the second home, the design of the school of Sahman-e Hit village, in terms of form and content of materials and geometry, is in line with the climate and environment of the region and therefore, a familiar and indigenous landscape for children and adolescents. The village has been created. The sense of belonging to the place and where the school is causes invitation and intimacy between students and the school and makes them feel at home as if it were their own home.
Also, Sahman-e Hit village school seeks to create a kind of catalyst for rural and regional development to participate in the village in the direction of the tourism industry and rural employment, and in a way to make Sahman-e Hit village the center of economic development of the region. Maximize.
