Abstract
It is now two decades since the School of Art and Architecture of Yazd University has been established in Sahl-ibn-Ali Quarters in the historic fabric of Yazd. Despite its success in many respects, this School has not sufficiently responded to internal and external functions. This could be attributed to the fact that the School expanded by adaptive reuse of available historic houses. The school thus lacks an integral spatial structure and does not respect the vernacular organization of urban spaces. The concept of school-quarters is introduced as a self-sufficient educational complex with all its diverse functions, which is entirely integrated with the physical structure of a historic quarters and thus will stimulate its revitalization.
