Shortlisted for civic building of the year at Dezeen Awards 2020, Noor E Mobin Primary School in Iran has been designed as an "educational neighbourhood" for children.

The vision of the Noor E Mobin pedagogical plan is to bring up fully-fledged human beings as responsible citizens: people who have high self-esteem with a constructive mentality for their surrounding environment.

The space is no longer enclosed; distances mean something new; and borders are defined by children themselves – alleys are for building up friendships and playing games.
