Gestalt psychology shapes the way that individuals think and behave by focusing on the whole picture rather than individual parts. Gestalt principles of design are the foundation upon which educational environments are structured, students are interacting with each other, and perceived space is experienced. This essay examines how school architecture can be improved through the application of Gestalt principles such as closeness, resemblance, continuity, closure, figure-ground, and symmetry to enhance student participation, learning environments, and spatial orientation. Synthesizing these concepts with biophilic and sustainable design approaches, the project aims to establish models for optimizing school environments for academic success and psychological health.
