Every land has a history that has shaped the culture of its people. One of the most important periods of Iranian architecture is the Timurid architecture. This research has sought to present an understanding of the architecture of Iran, Khorasan, and one of the important schools of the Timurid period, the Ghiasieh School in Khargerd. With the fading of the formative elements shaping the spatial configuration of past architecture in the plans of contemporary buildings, the necessity of conducting this research is felt. In this study, the space syntax method has been used to analyze the spatial relationships and the manner of spatial configuration in Ghiasieh Khargerd School. Finally, based on this, an effort has been made to present a model of Ghiasieh School in Khargerd for the purpose of benefiting in the design of new educational and research spaces to prevent imitation of non-original architectures. This research aims to analyze the spatial configuration characteristics, identify spatial and social relationships in the formal pattern of the plan of Ghiasieh School in Khargerd to achieve the desired spatial arrangement. In this research, a descriptive-analytical method was used in a case study to answer the questions and achieve the objectives. The research tools used included library studies, examination of written documents, field observation and interpretation, and ultimately simulation using the Depth Map X software. The findings show that there is a significant relationship between the type of spatial organization and the level of coherence, depth, connectivity, and clarity in Ghiasieh Khargerd School; considering that the pattern of organization and spatial arrangement in the school is central and linear, the central courtyard space has the highest level of coherence and connectivity and the lowest level of depth. The central layout of the school plan has led to increased clarity. It seems that using central organization in the plans taken from the Khargerd School model is one of the most important design solutions in designing new educational and research spaces. And among other proposed solutions for designing new educational and research spaces; attention to the potential of the location of educational and research spaces, attention to spatial hierarchy, use of central organization for public spaces and linear organization for private and semi-private spaces, combination of linear and central organization in two-dimensional and three-dimensional structures, placement of public spaces around the central courtyard, placement of private spaces away from the central courtyard, avoiding long corridors to create high clarity.
