Abstract

Architectural theory is fundamental in analyzing space and reasonable geometric shapes within buildings. It also depends on the nature of the building to meet social attitudes and appropriate behavior in buildings with complex spaces. Distinguishing spatial elements must begin with separating proportions and showing the transformation of physical locations into easily understandable elements. The passage from one physical location to another is a common functional connection, which is why space emerges in how people use it. There is occupation of space, and there is movement. The duty level determines what the building should look like. Its function is the first screening in the field to analyze existing architectural features. The second is the culture of each ethnic group or the needs of the type of building. The third is the structural features of buildings that have different purposes in each building. Guidelines for designing floor plans within the physical learning environment that are consistent with the needs of users with different characteristics can promote effective teaching and learning. It also helps create interest and foster discipline among students. The physical environment of learning is one part that encourages students to be interested in lessons and become more motivated to learn. Therefore, creating an atmosphere in the physical learning environment is extremely important.
