Abstract

In the design and planning process of large schools, great interest has been noticed in the physical side; regardless of the psyschological one (human side), as well as its unsuitability with our local society and environment. Societal and environmental factors are believed to have the greatest impact on the psychology of users, especially children: because the shape and design of internal and external spaces experienced by the child overrules his ethical and perceptional limits, and contributes positively or negatively in the development of the child's concepts. This applies as well to the stage of late childhood and adolescence period in different limits and approaches. On the other side, the concern in the physical term appears in different forms such as the stereotypes schools designed by the General Authority for Educational Buildings in Egypt or in reusing of old mansions ignoring the standard architectural design basis or the humanitarian aspects.
This paper aims to provide a new approach towards school design by synthesizing and analyzing the urban design bases of large schools and their relevance and effect on the psychology of users, taking into account their age variation (from 4 to 18 years); in order to achieve the objectives of the educational, cultural, and recreational activities.
