ModMad- Modern Madrassah
In consideration of the location of the project, due to the abundance of educational and university structures in the vicinity, a decision has been made to establish an educational center to serve students. When the construction methods, the placement of masses, the distribution of functions, and the use of spaces of both current (modern) and traditional educational structures are examined, it is evident that many aspects of today’s educational buildings fall short. When we examine how traditional educational building typology, such as madrasahs, has been transformed into an educational space, it becomes clear that modern structures can learn a lot from madrasah buildings.
From the courtyard system that enhances social interaction and harmony with nature, to the inviting crown gate, to the semi-open spaces that make education attractive known as “revak” to the fountains that increase interaction with water and create a serene environment, there are many aspects of the madrasah educational concept that need to be taken as examples for today’s educational structures. This approach forms the main idea of my project. I focus on how i can make evolve these approach to modern educational building. The entire design has evolved within the framework of this concept.
