We spend most of the beginning years of our lives in educational places such as school, kindergarten, university, or courses. Since space is closely related to learning, the criteria required for the design of learning spaces should be met, and spaces that support learning approaches should be created by considering the needs of teachers and learners. Considering the time we spend, it is necessary to have designs that meet the needs of students and teachers. As ASPEN, we celebrate this special day with the Head Teacher Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, and all our teachers, who are our guides. Examine closely what ideal learning spaces should be.

Educational buildings are places where education will be received, knowledge transfer will be provided, as well as helping the learner's personality developed, and the advancement of social and cultural relations. Learning spaces should be able to lead students to explore, research, be innovative, and learn. Due to the importance of educational spaces in education, learning approaches should be evaluated very well, and education spaces should be planned, and shaped as a result of these evaluations.

In recent times, pedagogical studies are conducted on this subject and the effect of educational environments on the learning factor is discussed. Accordingly, many different space models have emerged over the last 20 years, from traditional classroom models to open-plan learning spaces, hybrid spaces, and outdoor learning spaces. It is observed that all these different models have different effects on learning success.

Transition Flexible Learning Spaces
Each teaching structure is designed with a different vision. Accordingly, different design tools are used in each different learning space. To give an example: in traditional learning spaces, the instructor is located in front of the room, and this creates a more authoritarian perception for the student, while open-plan learning spaces have a less authoritarian perception. Students can feel more comfortable in such places and can concentrate on the lesson more easily.

Create Comfortable Spaces
Comfort is a significant condition for students and teachers to evaluate long lesson hours efficiently. It is also stated that the architectural formation of educational spaces positively affects the learning process. A high level of comfort should be provided in these places. Heating, ventilation, lighting, and furniture are significant factors in the learning space that will provide comfort.

Make a Good Lighting Choice
Eye comfort is provided in a well-lit place, and the student will be able to focus on the lesson during the lesson. The most important light source is natural daylight. For this, it will be effective to design educational buildings with large windows. However, this may not always work, and artificial light sources may be needed during seasonal changes. Led technology is a good choice for lighting and ASPEN's [LUMUNER] LED Lighting Series, the leading brand in lighting is specially designed. Our product is produced with energy-saving technology and can work throughout the day, making the learning space brighter. With the technology that provides equal illumination of the space, the shadow problem created by incandescent lamps will not be experienced, and the interior will be perceived as a more spacious environment.
