Abstract

The article concerns the design of educational architecture taking into account the human factor. The key method during the design process should be the analysis of functional paths, taking into account the specific needs of all users and their preferred behaviour. The analysis of historical educational systems and their impact on the shaping of educational spaces shows that successive generations of children grow up in spaces that have minimally changed over time. The proposed method of analysing functional paths may be helpful when designing school spaces in terms of increasing their educational value.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The article is based on research carried out at the Faculty of Architecture of the Poznan University of Technology as part of the research project: Mapping architectural space, history, theory, practice, contemporary times (10/04/SBAD/0161).

  2. 2.

    The method is based on the statistical analysis of paths, which is a development of the model of multiple line regression. It allows for the causal interpretation of the analysed variables within a model that sometimes takes into account a considerable numer of variables explaining the variability of the dependent variable (criterion variable, explained variable) – forming the constructed model [8].
