چکیده مقاله :
The beginning of the Pahlavi period marked the onset of rapid changes. Architects, alongside the ruling power in the new conditions, sought to create a new Iran that aligned with global thought, while simultaneously preserving identity and occasionally fostering a sense of nationalism. Both the building and the educational system changed in response to shifting times and political developments. The traditional educational system evolved into the modern educational system. The research method is historical-analytical, drawing on both field surveys and library studies. This article aims to explain the principles and components of architectural design, presenting spaces that align with the structure of contemporary life, thereby enabling continuity and connection between the past and the present. For this purpose, the present study selected valuable examples from the Pahlavi period to present the components of Tehran high schools and analyzed the data using SPSS software and the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Then, the sign test was used to examine the status of the research variables, and the non-parametric sign test was employed to investigate the relationship between the facade and plan characteristics of the Pahlavi and modern periods. Finally, it was concluded that a significant number of Pahlavi-era buildings were influenced by the structures of the modernist era, according to experts. These buildings, of course, possess identity and cultural value and can be introduced as valuable examples.
