1 - Architectural Phenomenology, an Effective Paradigm in the Architectural Design of Spaces for Discovering Children's Talent

This caused a kind of alienation and confusion between users and their environment. Children, as the future builders of the next generations of society, are influenced by their surroundings. Therefore, the quality role of children's environment in their mind and body is very important. This research tries to describe the architectural model of the environment with the concepts, foundations and methods of phenomenology and phenomenological discourse of architecture, which, in addition to being in line with the needs of users, is the basis for valuable research, that is, finding the talent of children and teenagers, so that architecture can be The correct form should be used for today's and tomorrow's generation. The main question of the research is how the phenomenological paradigm of architecture can be a suitable approach for the architectural design of children's talent discovery environments? Achieving the theoretical foundations and architectural design of children's talent discovery environments with the architectural phenomenology approach is the main goal of the research. The research method of this article is a combined descriptive-analytical and qualitative method of place phenomenology. Finally, it can be said that architectural phenomenology offers effective and useful foundations for the architectural model of children's talent discovery environments. such as orientation, centrality and rhythm, light and shadow, color, spatial diversity, conflict of senses, symbolism, nature, culture and authenticity.

In recent years, social factors as a prerequisite for sustainability have attracted a lot of attention. Social sustainability in architecture is focused on the qualitative features of space and mutual relationships between human needs and living space, and it can influence people's interactions and social relationships.One of the spaces that is particularly important in terms of architectural design is the space where architecture students or future designers are trained. These academic spaces or architecture schools need special attention in terms of spatial quality characteristics to reach the necessary desirability and while providing students' satisfaction, it is socially sustainable.Research question: Investigating what the components of social sustainability are and how these features can be used to increase the spatial desirability of architecture universities are the main questions of this article.Research purpose: the purpose of the current research is to evaluate the components of social sustainability in improving the quality and spatial desirability of the architecture universities, based on increasing the satisfaction of students.Research method: In the present research, which is presented by qualitative method and content analysis, at first, different theories in the field of social sustainability are discussed based on library and documentary studies. Then the challenges of the academic spaces of architecture are explained and finally, a model is proposed to improve the quality of the educational space of architecture schools with a social sustainability approach.Conclusion: The findings and analysis of the content of the research show that the quality level of spaces increases with architectural ideas such as: spatial form and geometry, suitable and readable accesses, suitable dimensions and spatial proportions, suitable quality of materials, suitable ventilation, correct lighting and et. will be effective in increasing social interactions, sense of attachment, belonging to the place, solidarity, and identity. In other words, they will lead the educational space towards sustainability. Manuscript profile
