ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN AND
PRESENTATION-6
4TH. YEAR, 2ND. SEMESTER
9 CREDIT HOURS
Studio hours would be 9 hours per day and the class will
meet three days a week. The hours per day for the class
would be inclusive of lunch time and periodic short breaks
as deemed necessary.
The Community Center Complex (CCC) exercise would enable the students to gain a
comprehensive understanding of the various building types within the CCC, the
various building types and the interrelation of the buildings contained within the
complex, the integration of building technologies (structural, mechanical, plumbing,
electrical, fire safety, civil works and landscaping) as well as site design. This course
which will weigh heavily towards environmental design, energy efficient building
design, bioclimatic architecture, green building products and sustainability, all of
which would be focused to minimize energy use, maximize thermal comfort in
buildings and minimize the carbon footprint in the environment.
The Thesis Design would prepare the students to develop their mindset for the
student to undertake the research work and the actual building designing the final
fifth year. The student will have achieved the capability to conduct research work
and implement the findings of research work to the respective projects. This will
enable them to apply the same procedures for research and implementation on
other projects should that be necessitated during their professional careers.
