This foundational studio course introduces students to the principles of design and spatial composition. Emphasis is placed on developing creativity, problem-solving skills, and understanding the relationship between form, function, and space. Students learn the basics of drafting, model-making, and conceptual thinking through small-scale projects, focusing on human scale and user needs.
This course provides essential skills in architectural drafting and visual representation. Students learn freehand sketching, orthographic projections, axonometric drawings, and rendering techniques. The use of computer-aided design (CAD) tools is introduced to enhance precision and digital proficiency.
This course introduces students to building materials, their properties, and construction methods. Topics include traditional and modern construction techniques, material performance, and durability. Practical sessions focus on understanding structural elements such as walls, roofs, foundations, and floors.
This course explores the history of architecture from ancient civilizations to the medieval period. Students study iconic structures, cultural influences, and architectural styles of Ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, Greece, and Rome. Emphasis is placed on analyzing the relationship between social, cultural, and environmental factors in shaping architecture.
This course examines the fundamentals of environmental design, focusing on climate-responsive architecture and sustainable building practices. Topics include passive design strategies, natural lighting, ventilation, and thermal comfort. Students develop an understanding of the environmental impact of design decisions.
This studio builds on the fundamentals of design, introducing students to residential and small-scale public building projects. Students explore spatial organization, circulation, site analysis, and functional zoning. Emphasis is placed on user experience, aesthetics, and structural feasibility.
This course introduces structural concepts and systems used in architecture. Students learn about loads, forces, and stability in buildings. Topics include beams, columns, trusses, and shell structures. Emphasis is placed on integrating structure with design.
This course covers the Renaissance, Baroque, and Neoclassical architectural periods, examining their evolution and cultural contexts. Students analyze the works of architects such as Brunelleschi, Palladio, and Bernini, focusing on their contributions to form, proportion, and aesthetics.
