1. Interior Design ( 4th stage)''Interior design is making the best possible use of the available space“
Course Overview (Click Here)
This subject is selected to be given to students of the fourth stage of the architectural department. The students will be taught basic principles and elements of interior design as well as the architectural movements in the interior design field. In order to expand their knowledge, students should learn how to design, draw and imagine indoor spaces in three dimensions and the way that human being eye sees the indoor of buildings. This helps students to express their concepts in designing interior spaces and easily conveys their ideas. By the end of the course, students must know how to integrate between inside and outside of architectural products. To use the principles and elements of interior design to create a comfortable healthy environment for people to live in. To enhance the public taste, to give each place or space its identity, and to consider the humans' health, physiology and psychology during the design process by selecting proper furniture, colours and materials.This course will be given through a series of practical and theoretical lectures and homework exercises will be given to practice on what students have learned on the topic. Followings are the main covered topics:
  • Introduction to interior design
  • Elements of Interior Design

2. Landscape Architecture Design ( 4th Stage )''I Don't Divide Architecture Landscape and Gardening to Me They are One''   Luis Barragan 
Course Overview (Click Here)
This subject is selected to be given to students of the fourth stage of the architectural department. The course covers the fundamentals of principles and elements of landscape design as well as the architectural movements and styles. This module is sure to enhance students skills and knowledge about designing a Landscape project. It provides a thorough, how-to explanation of each of the steps of the design process–from site analyzing to a completed master plan to make the landscape attractive in itself, to achieve environmental, social-behavioural, or aesthetic outcomes.In brief, students are taught how to select appropriate elements and principles in their designs, how to draw a perspective of an outdoor landscape, select materials and texture, and how to organize appropriate landscape furniture. In addition, they will be taught rendering technique to present their concepts. Throughout the course, students will be assessed through weekly assignments including practical class-works and home-works by designing a landscape area related to a specific architectural project. These approaches will be given through a series of practical and theoretical lectures and homework exercises will be given to practice what students have learned on the topic. Followings are the main covered topics:
  • Introduction to Landscape Architecture and Design
  • Elements of Landscape Design
  • Principles of Landscape Design
  • Landscape Design Styles and Movements
  • steps of the design process–from site analyzing to a completed master plan
  • Practical Assignments ( Design a Landscape for a specific given space)

3. Climate and Architecture ( 4th stage)
Course Overview
This subject is selected to be given to students of the fourth stage of the architectural department. The students will be taught basic principles of climatic design to build an architecture, which is environmentally friendly, sensitive and integrated with its surrounding nature.  In order to expand their knowledge, students should learn how to design based on studying the microclimate of a project, to understand the basics of passive design, to take advantages of the natural resources and reduce buildings’ pollution and negative impact on the environment. This subject will be taught through a series of theoretical lectures. In the lectures, students will get feedback on task reports, their work will be criticized and enhanced by having some group presentations. The course objectives are:
  • How to design environmentally friendly buildings. 
  • How to analyze bioclimatic charts and Study Human Comfort
  • Introducing modern passive design solutions. 
  • Material properties and selection. 
  • How to implement climatic strategies in design

4. Acoustics and Architecture ( 4th Stage )
Course OverviewThis subject is selected to be given to students of the fourth stage of the architectural department. The students will be taught how to design a building that offers maximum user comfort while using the least Sound Treatments. By teaching the base principles of sound behaviour in an enclosure. In order to expand their knowledge, students should learn about the fundamentals of sound, noise, acoustic, hearing and sound insulation materials and solutions to understand the physics of sound and impact. This course will be given through a series of theoretical lectures, report tasks and homework exercises to practice. Followings are the main covered subjects:
  • how to provide human acoustic comfort as an essential function of a building and its analysis and use in Architecture. 
  • the behaviour of sound in the built environment is of vital importance to a budding architect. 
  • sound design solutions and how to reduce the negative effects of noise. 
  • material properties and selection in the term of sound insulation.
