Three credit course with nine hours of studio interaction with the instructor per week. The course focuses on the understanding of the design process and the methodology for achieving functionally and aesthetically optimal design for buildings.
The course exposes students to general design elements and guidelines that allow identification of a design problem and seek alternative solutions for the same problem in a systematic and scientific manner keeping in mind the aesthetic and creative requirements. Creative and graphical skills are the soul of this course which is stepwise enhances within the practical limitations involved with every design project.
Design problems of complete but simple buildings are introduced to the students with emphasis provided on considerations of building function, construction, material and system, cultural, environmental constraints and climatic influences. Two projects are dealt by the students in this course, one of which is a minor project (6 weeks) and the other is a complex design problem (9 weeks).

The course focuses on the development of an understanding of how information technology is used in the process of presenting design information.
The course allows students to develop skills and operate computer aided design (CAD) tools. CAD applications are taught for the purpose of creating project information documents that include reports and design drawings. The course will focus on developing student skills to create 2D and 3D models of simple buildings and use rendering and animation applications to present them. In addition students will work in a computer network environment which enables them to create, manage and exchange project information in a network environment.
Instructions and demonstrations will introduce students to additional uses of the computer as a design tool and supplement lectures will relate the lab work to other type of computer graphics, computer aided design, the role of CAD in Architectural Engineering.

|
|
|
|
|
|
This course is a continuation of a two-semester sequence of design studios. Introduction and appreciation of the design process through dealing with more complex buildings and lager project sites. The concept of building design as a multi-disciplinary approach is introduced. Integration of structural, mechanical, and environmental control systems with the building function, form, and spaces' organization is emphasized. Basic elements of architectural form and space and how they can be manipulated, organized in the development of a design concept and their visual implications are explored.
|
|
|
|
Course Objective
|
|
|
|
|
To further develop the design skills related to the design process acquired in the earlier course ARE 202 and enhance space organization skills. To provide an in-depth understanding of the design process and problem-solving approaches while enriching students' design vocabulary. To introduce the concept of building as a multi-disciplinary product with integrated parts (many systems) working to make the building a whole. To practice the design process on design problems and project programs of moderate-size and complexity than those introduced in earlier course to achieve multi-objective architectural design within multiple design constraints.
