Examining Preschool Education Buildings with Sustainable Architectural Approach: Two Examples in Konya, Selçuklu
Abstract
Within the scope of the study, two kindergartens that use an ecological approach and are located in the Selçuklu district of Konya province—one connected to the state and the other to a private institution—were chosen in this regard. Even though the sample schools did not have any sustainable architecture certificates, they were selected because they adopted an ecological approach. Three steps make up the study methodology. The source scanning phase is the first. The second phase, the field study, entails gathering information about the structures chosen for the field study through observation, interviews, photography, and measurement. The evaluation stage is the final step, during which it is determined whether the model schools have ecologically, socially, and economically sustainable architectural elements, and recommendations for improvement are made. As a result, building buildings with a sustainable architectural approach is necessary for the foundation of environmentally sensitive societies.
