ARC (201A)
Architectural Design (3,4)
The program
aims at developing design skills and ability to deal with complex form
generation processes and design assignments, covering various levels of
form generation, including: context, site, solids and voids manipulation,
spaces, structure, architectural expression and character; to develop
analytical and synthesising abilities and communication skills, It
emphasises the importance of the setting; environmental and socio
-cultural factors in the design process, introduction and experimentation
with current trends and conceptions through studio and design assignment,
multi-elements and limited scale projects.
ARC (201B)
Architectural Design (3,4)
The program
complements and continues the aims of Architectural design (ARC 201A)
in developing design skills and ability to deal with complex form
generation processes and design assignments, covering various levels of
form generation, including: context, site, solids and voids manipulation,
spaces, structure, architectural expression and character; to develop
analytical and synthesising abilities and communication skills, It

multi-elements and limited scale projects.
ARC (301)
Architectural Design (5,6)
Architectural design of complex, multi functional buildings comprising
wide span elements - programme studies, data collection and analysis -
realising architectural design for multi functional buildings and groups
of buildings, taking into consideration internal and external space
studies. Visual relations of the group of buildings and their conformity
with the general layout and context, the design should comprise major
elements having wide structural spans. Provision for natural lighting and
ventilation. Application of new technologies to enhance design
conceptions.
ARC (401)
Architectural Design (7)
Analytical study of design alternatives for public and residential
projects, to reach architectural and urban forms & configurations together
with the appropriate design alternatives to satisfy: design, functional,
structural, visual, and environmental determinants; applying the relevant
building codes and regulations.
ARC (480) Bachelor Project
New
architectural dimensions new philosophy of approaching the problem
outcome of the new marriage between fields living architecture memes
presentation and representation of the shape of time. An integrated design project to combine the
collective outputs of the previous architectural, technical,
environmental, urban design and planning studies, during the architecture
programme.
