The site is in Yazd, a city in the middle of Iran. The school of our choice, Fatemat-Alzahra, is a private all-girl school. Since this school is named after a saint, the principal of the school has decided to accept students regardless of their financial situation. Fatemat-Alzahra also allows enrollment of special needs students even though they do not have the budget for Special Education. As a result, the students come from a variety of backgrounds and class.
Based on the needs of the 90 students that are currently enrolled in Fatemat-Alzahra, we decided to design an art classroom which would be used by all 6 grades of the school. The current art classroom is shared with two other subjects and does not have the facilities to develop a full art curriculum.

Comments
A great response to the classroom competition requirements. Project includes all the parts, that make viewer like me understand it.
The project team is using local materials; worked together with potential students, etc.
The architectural solution responds to the specialty if a country.
Great!
