Education structures are among the units in which individuals who have basic education in the family begin to take part in the social structure. While each culture offers different educational approaches in line with its own values, the lack of the same diversity of educational structures in relation to the changing educational approaches and curricula cannot touch the educated individuals and cannot provide the appropriate physical environment to express and develop themselves. In this direction, the structure that emerged at the point where the dreams of young people meet the designs of the architect, accelerates and facilitates education. The education model integrated with its architecture creates a more attractive environment for users. The diversity of design criteria and needs of primary and secondary education (high school) structures revealed the spatial elements and different organizational status of the elements in their design. The designer, who offers many structural experiences to the user, has a hidden and strong influence on educated individuals. Considering all these situations, the design of educational buildings reveals the importance of individuals in their physical, mental and social development.
