Abstract

The technological developments had come very fast and societies 
needed to learn new skills and sciences such as vocational crafts 
through training which a vital element of this age is. 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.
