Nestled in the heart of Iran, the Jadgal Elementary School stands as a testament to innovative architectural design combined with community-driven management. From an architectural photography point of view, this institution, conceived by DAAZ Office and overseen by villagers and teachers, offers a visually striking subject.

Its playful and inviting enclosing wall, adorned with its irregular-shaped perforations, conjures captivating patterns of light and shadow ripe for photographic capture.

The adroit use of natural light, coupled with the seamless integration of the wall openings into the broader design, paves the way for creative composition and framing. Through the lens, one can also highlight the school’s emphasis on inclusivity and community involvement, with evocative images of the circular courtyard and the versatile spaces teeming with community activities, crafts, or even serving as tourist accommodations.
