Abstract
Abstract
The technological developments had come very fast and societies needed to learn new skills and sciences such as vocational crafts through training which is a vital element of this age. The role of the vocational centers encompassed in development and renaissance of the society through raising the efficiency of advanced training programs, so that, they reflected in the role of architects and interior designers. In addition, they were essential in raising and enhancing vocational training centers through the development of design architecture and interior spaces according to specific criteria. The research enhanced the role of vocational training centers, creativity spaces, arts, crafts and sciences centers in spreading knowledge, besides, it created space for learning and understanding between different peoples and cultures. The problem of research was the rigidity, monotony and neglect of the vocational and technical training centers in the local communities and the poor position of these centers despite their dynamic role in the development of the society. On the other side, most of vocational training focused on the content of the advanced training programs only without interest in architecture, interior design and how to create space of creativity. Furthermore, these problems had caused of weak interior space in all elements, training spaces, services and others which did not suitable such a type of these spaces because it required creativity, innovation and specific standards in interior design. Accordingly, the designers needed to create interactive spaces involved students and wonderful experiences for all users with a good scientific content.
