Abstract: (20 Views) |
Objective: With the expansion of natural and social hazards, there is a growing need to create spaces that, while fulfilling an educational role, also possess emergency functionality in crises. Educational spaces, due to their social nature, spatial scale, and cultural roles, can serve as effective platforms for enhancing community resilience. Accordingly, this study aims to articulate and present a model of “Resistance Education-Oriented Architecture” grounded in the ideas of Martyr Chamran, a model that designs multifunctional skill-training schools with a human-centered and resilient approach in crisis conditions.
Method: This study adopts a qualitative, analytical-interpretive approach. Data were collected through documentary studies and content analysis. Key components in the domains of education, self-development, and resilience were identified and mapped onto architectural principles.
Findings: Components such as self-development, the linkage between knowledge and practice, simplicity, localization (indigenization), and the jihadi spirit are among the pillars of Martyr Chamran’s educational and resilience-oriented thought. In architectural terms, these components translate into principles such as architectural flexibility, infrastructural self-sufficiency, environmental sustainability, and the formation of participatory spaces.
Conclusion: The conceptual model of “Resistant Education-Oriented Architecture” enables the design of multifunctional skill-training centers that, in ordinary conditions, fulfill educational roles and, in crisis times, can function as shelters, relief hubs, or crisis-command centers. Thus, the notion of passive defense is elevated from a purely technical-military domain to a cultural, social, and educational dimension in architecture. The model not only addresses physical needs but also serves as a catalyst for cultivating resilient, responsible, and autonomous individuals. |
