  Extended Abstract Introduction: Education is the cornerstone upon which individual growth and societal progress are built. Its multifaceted nature extends beyond the mere transfer of knowledge, encompassing cognitive, social, and emotional development. Yet, within this expansive landscape, the integration of architectural education into early learning stands as an often overlooked but potent catalyst for transformation. This study endeavors to delve into the nuanced implications of introducing architectural concepts to preschoolers, recognizing and emphasizing their profound impact on cognitive and intellectual development during the critical formative years. Architectural education, typically associated with advanced learning stages, extends far beyond teaching design principles or spatial awareness. Its introduction in early childhood settings is poised to play a pivotal role in shaping the cognitive framework of young minds. Understanding the depth and breadth of how architectural education influences the developmental trajectory of preschoolers holds promise for redefining educational paradigms. Methodology: The methodology adopted in this study was meticulously designed to comprehensively evaluate the influence of architectural education on the cognitive development of preschoolers. From a vast national pool of 30,000 educational centers, a meticulously chosen sample of 384 preschoolers underwent stringent selection using a combination of robust methods, including the Morgan, Kersey, and Cochran techniques. Each classroom, representing diverse demographics and learning styles, actively participated in a meticulously structured study. This carefully curated sample was methodically divided into a control group and a test group. Before the commencement of the study, both groups underwent comprehensive initial assessments, ensuring a clear baseline understanding. Subsequently, the test group received dedicated architectural training, while the control group followed the standard preschool curriculum. Furthermore, the study involved in-depth face-to-face interviews employing a mosaic method, allowing for a nuanced understanding of the diverse learning styles and individual responses exhibited by these young learners. Results: The empirical findings from this exhaustive study present compelling evidence supporting a robust correlation between architectural education and the enhancement of critical cognitive skills among preschoolers. Noteworthy advancements were discerned across a spectrum of cognitive domains: heightened spatial recognition (P Value= 0.0325, F= 6.14), amplified visualization capabilities (P Value= 0.0269, F= 6.3), adeptness in spatial reconstruction (P Value= 0.0017, F= 21.307), improved orientation skills (P Value= 0.00001, F= 51.822), enhanced comprehension (P Value= 0.004, F= 14.77), and a notable surge in problem-solving aptitude (P Value= 0.039, F= 5.17) among preschoolers exposed to architectural education. Conclusion: This research illuminates the pivotal role of architectural education as a transformative force that transcends conventional paradigms of knowledge dissemination. It emerges as a catalyst profoundly shaping the cognitive landscape during the crucial formative developmental years. The exposure to architectural concepts goes beyond imparting factual information; it fosters foundational comprehension and a nuanced understanding of spatial relationships. Furthermore, it ignites creative problem-solving abilities and cultivates holistic cognitive development, providing a robust groundwork for future educational endeavors and lifelong learning. Moreover, the implications of this study extend far beyond immediate educational contexts. They underscore the pressing need for the integration of interdisciplinary approaches in early childhood education. By integrating architectural education at the preschool level, educational systems can better nurture adaptable, innovative thinkers equipped to navigate and thrive in an increasingly dynamic and innovation-driven global landscape.

  Extended abstract Introduction: Every space and body that is considered for human habitation needs the formation of safe, private, secure and peaceful areas. In such an environment, all material and spiritual conditions must be provided for consumers in order to achieve privacy in all dimensions. Since the housing is a bed of peace and comfort for the residents, categories such as the hierarchy of entrances, privacy, security, etc. should be considered in its design. The present study was carried out with the aim of identifying physical elements effective in creating solitude and privacy and social interactions in the design and manner of construction in Gol Narges, Emerald Tower, Aftab Valiasr, Shahid Chamran, Golestan, Fajr Eel Goli complexes in Tabriz. Methodology: The research method in the present study was descriptive, analytical and data collection was done by observing the spaces of residential complexes and surveying the residents of residential complexes. The investigated components included the level of confidentiality and privacy and satisfaction with social interactions, which was confirmed using the pre-test and Cronbach's alpha test, the reliability of the tool was confirmed with a coefficient higher than 0.7 To track significant differences in multigroup analyses, LSD post hoc test was used. The research data was tested and analyzed using SPSS software. Results: According to the studies and findings of the two residential complexes of Gol Narges and Shahid Chamran, which have the largest average difference in terms of criticism and dissatisfaction with the amount and quality of social interactions with other investigated complexes, it can be seen that each of the mentioned complexes has structural patterns. and physically are different and the level of criticism of the residents on the amount and quality of social interactions in each model is also different. The comparison of the above two models shows that the model of the tower in the park in an enclosed form (Gol Narges complex) has been able to respond to most of the residents' expectations regarding social interactions in residential complexes. Conclusion: Privacy, as a basic human relationship in all cultures, is a place that has limits and should not be invaded without reason. Every space and body that is considered for human habitation needs the formation of safe, private, secure and peaceful areas. Aristocracy, noise pollution, behavioral abuse, lack of personal space and enough privacy in residential communities have caused residents' dissatisfaction. The answers indicate that if there is no selective monitoring of the borders, people will have a mental feeling of crowding and tension, and sometimes they will show reactions of dissatisfaction, anger, boredom and leaving the environment. In the conditions when people achieve the desired amount of solitude, they open their borders to communicate with others and increase the amount of their social interactions. By observing the principles of design, it is possible to provide physical privacy to some extent. Of course, the way to provide privacy will be different for different cultures. Controlling external sounds as well as arranging internal spaces in such a way that they have the least visual, auditory and olfactory noises are among the best solutions. Manuscript profile
