Architecture Design Studio III ARCH 4321

Course description:

This course focus on the design of cultural or educational buildings. Analyze the site design solving complex tasks that involve integrating various functions while considering environmental, form, and structural construction.The architecture design of cultural and historical values, images and patterns, trading systems and the flow of space.understanding the selected technical, theoretical, historical, environmental  issues.The ability to integrate those understanding into design proposals.The application of the communication techniques necessary to demonstrate this.The application of how to deal with the asthetic aspects that realized by having one practical project.

Course Aims:

This course aims to:
  • Apply design knowledge to an architectural problem at a basic level. 
  • Evaluate the relationship of a selected range of technical, programmatic, theoretical, historical and professional issues and their implications for building design.
  • Synthesise a body of practical and theoretical knowledge into the design process.
  • Comprehend architecture and its relationship with location, program, form and representation.
  • Demonstrate design skills through an iterative and considered design process, to resolve your ideas from concept formation through to design development at a basic level.
  • Communicate design ideas at a basic level, demonstrating through building design & its representation, the aims & claims that made for the building design.
