Maloran School

Certainly! Here's the English translation of the text: Introduction: The village of Maluran, located in the Maluran district of the central region of Nikshahr County in Sistan and Baluchestan Province, has a population of approximately 2,000 people. The predominant occupation in the area is agriculture, given the local climatic and environmental conditions. The village has a warm climate, and the primary materials used in its construction are brick and soil. Due to the limited number of schools and the lack of appropriate cultural and educational facilities, the need for a proper educational space in this village is strongly felt.

Placement: Considering the presence of a football field and the noise pollution caused by it, the location of the school building was planned in the northern part of the site. Entrances and Exits: Two entrances (vehicular and pedestrian) have been designed for the site. Vehicular access cannot pass through the center of the site as it connects educational and recreational spaces. The pedestrian entrance, however, is located at the center of the site to facilitate students' access to the courtyard and the building. Zoning: The school building consists of educational, administrative, cultural, workshop, and shared spaces.

Based on the similar usage of spaces and considerations of economy, energy, and sound, the building has been divided into three sections: Educational Administrative and Cultural Workshop and Cafeteria. The shared spaces are placed between these three main volumes. Space Layout: The second section (Administrative and Cultural) must have the shortest possible access time to the first (Educational) and third (Workshop and Cafeteria) sections. Considering the noise pollution from the courtyard, the third section is placed adjacent to the courtyard, while the first section is located at the furthest point from it to ensure the quiet atmosphere needed for educational activities.

Energy: By dividing the building into three parts, the circulation of cold and warm air is more contained, leading to energy savings. Economic Considerations: With a focus on economical design, simple construction techniques, and the use of bricks, the construction area on the ground floor has been reduced to 30%, and the underground area has been limited to 28%. This not only minimizes environmental damage but also creates favorable conditions for construction.
