S T U D I O S & L E S S O N S

1-Studio 1 (Drafting & Basic design):

This course provides a hands-on introduction to the types of

drawings typically needed for design, and the principles of

the drafting process. Work through the drafting of a simple

orthographic view plan, section, elevations and details – and

touch on 3D drawings. In addition to the basic design and

organization principles.

No. of projects: Multiple

Expected educational return (Grading criteria): The student

should be able to draw all types of architectural drawings to

scale, in addition to learning the basic spatial organization.

2-Studio 2 (Methodology of design: Dimension + scale):

This course stresses the use of brainstorming to encourage

innovative ideas and collaborative design thinking to work

through each proposed idea and arrive at the best solution.

Meeting the needs and wants of the user is the most critical

concern. Design methodology also employs basic research

methods, such as site analysis and design response.

No. of projects: Multiple

Expected educational return (Grading criteria): The

student should know how to analysis a site, in addition to

developing a concept that responds to the site analysis and

conditions.

3-Studio 3 (Building components and Modular system):

This course emphases of the elements of a building such as

walls, doors and windows up the basic columns and beam

structure. The use of modular systems in design utilizing it

as the main factor to create space design plans, sections and

elevations.

No. of projects: 1 project


student should be able to understand and illustrate the

basic constructional elements of a building (footing,

columns, beam, floor and wall). To understand the various

proportions of a building such as the proportion of corridor

to a functional space using a certain modular system.

Examples: (Small residential unit) (Single use structure)

4-Studio 4 (Organization and Flexibility):

This course focuses on the organization of plans and section

and provides the architectural skills of dividing buildings

into interior spaces into various rooms that have their own

purposes. Organization in architecture ensures that all

components of a building function cohesively to achieve its

goals. To design a structure that could respond to any future

demands.



should be able to design cohesive and complex plans and

sections. The design should also adapt various functions

simultaneously or change of function over time according to

the user or site requirements.

Examples: (Educational Facility) (Medical Facility) (Mix use)

5- Studio 5 (Sustainability and building systems):

This course highlights the three main factors of

sustainability environmental, social and economic. Providing

the student with the needed skills to incorporate one or

all factors of sustainability within the design. In addition to

gaining the knowledge of the basic building systems such as

the mechanical heating and cooling systems.



should be able to apply and demonstrate at least of factor

of the three sustainability factors and the implementation

of the specified factor in the design. In addition the student

should accommodate the basic buildings systems within the

design, such as the location of the shafts and ventilation

machines.

Examples: (Central Library) (Hotel tower) (Residential Unit)

6- Studio 6 Context (Site, form and character):

This course emphases on the importance of context

sensitivity design. As any architectural project should

respond to its site surroundings in terms of the form,

character and identity. For instance the design could be in

harmony with its surroundings or in total contrast based on

the design respond.



student should be able to study the site surroundings it

terms of facades and esthetics, hence determine a design

methodology and response that corresponds to the design

concept.

Examples: Office building or Institutional facility within the

historical district

7- Studio 7 (Real estate and urban design):

This course highlights the urban design as the collaborative

and multi-disciplinary process of shaping the physical setting

for life in cities, towns and villages; the art of making places;

design in an urban context. Urban design involves the design

of buildings, groups of buildings, spaces and landscapes,

and the establishment of frameworks and processes that

facilitate successful development. In addition to its relation

with the real-estate market and values.



should be able design within a larger scheme and to relate

the design with the economic condition of the site. The

end product should express the principles of urban design,

the relationship between the buildings and the streets, in

addition the basic financial outcome of the project.

Examples: (Residential neighborhood development) (Mix

use urban development)

8-Studio 8 Thesis (Capstone)

The student should express all the academic experience that

was gained through all the previous knowledge in the thesis

graduation project.

No. of projects: 1 project (Set Project)

Note: The lessons are a consecutive learning experience,

hence the student should express and demonstrate all

the previous lessons in his current project. For example

in Studio 3 (Building components and modular system) in

addition to the current lesson he should also implement

Studio 2 (Methodology of design) + Studio 1 (Drafting and

basic design)
