Architecture

Architecture: An Overview The Faculty of Architecture – Design & Built Environment is committed is to foster a challenging learning environment and to continually compete as well as lead advances in architectural education, in order to prepare innovative, critical and industrious graduates able to improve, through their future careers, the quality of the built environment.

The Role of Architecture Consistent with the University strategy, the Faculty of Architecture – Design & Built Environment is committed to delivering a professional architectural education necessary for those seeking to enter the architectural practice. The Faculty's academic mission is to further develop the discipline and practice of architecture through a seamless program of undergraduate and postgraduate studies respecting individualism and diversity, and fostering for creativity and rationalism in design and construction process. The Faculty seeks to educate diligent architects who practice their career in a responsive manner towards the society, culture and environment at the local, regional and international level.

Aim and Objectives The Faculty of Architecture – Design and Built Environment at Beirut Arab University (BAU) has an international position and identity, sited in a distinguished Campus located in Debbieh – Mount Lebanon. The Faculty is one of the largest and oldest schools of Architecture in Lebanon. Our aim is to assert our position as one of the regional leading schools of Architecture. The school attracts a high number of applicants from regional countries and has an increasing number of overseas students. Courses are offered by the faculty and the applied teaching methodology sets BAU faculty of Architecture – Design and Built Environment apart from other universities in the area. Firstly, the Faculty incorporates engineering courses which are not offered in any architecture program in Lebanon. It is believed that architecture should be taught along with relevant subjects in the Engineering field since both disciplines are strongly interrelated when it comes to practice. Hence, the students’ exposure to such engineering subjects serves as a good background to their own practice of architectural design. The second feature is the student centred learning approach in the teaching process. Students are required to study assigned topics and they are given the chance to teach and lecture their classmates, which helps in enhancing students’ independence. They are capable of reading new material that has not been taught to them by the professor, take notes and lecture their classmates, which help in enhancing students’ communication and critical thinking skills.

Career Opportunities for Architects Given the evolving nature of the profession, and the rapidly changing conditions in which architects currently practice, the traditional expertise, capacities and authority are increasingly being challenged. A new complexity is operating and altering both the traditional institutional structure and their delivery systems. Modern professional practice seems to require additional training and emphasis on specific domains, in order to effectively and responsibly address the profession’s development and evolving needs. Faculty graduates are prepared for careers as practicing architects either in the private sector or in public agencies. Graduates are well trained to carry out multiple architectural tasks from architectural programming to project execution, from encountering users and environmental constraints to the development of a coordinated set of construction documents. They are also qualified to pursue further studies at the postgraduate level in prestigious universities overseas. The Bachelor of Architectural Engineering at BAU is approved by the Ministry of Education and Higher Education in Lebanon, and accredited by the Royal Institute of British Architects. This enables the Faculty graduates to work toward professional registration as architects, and to become members of the Orders of Engineers and Architects in Lebanon upon graduation. Most of the Bachelor degree graduates pursue careers in architectural practice where work require expertise in several fields including: Residential design, Public buildings, Building and environmental technology, Interior design and fabrication, urban design, Historic restoration and adaptation, Project management, and Real estate development. 3

Beirut Arab University Faculty of Architecture Design & Built Environment

Handbook Academic Year 2017/2018

Graduates may practice in diverse settings, including: Private architecture consultancy and / or contracting office, Small and medium-sized architectural firms, Corporations with branches around the world, Government and public institutions, Companies with large real estate holdings

Program Intended Learning Outcomes (ILO’s) For the past twelve months, the architectural program has been reviewed and developed in response to the guidance given through RIBA reports and exchanged communication. The Faculty has actively reviewed the entire range of modules, their contents, delivery methods and intended learning outcomes. This effort has been carried out with a view to ensure full compliance with the RIBA General Attributes (GAs) and General Criteria (GCs) both for Part 1 and for Part 2. The following is a concise overview of the outcome. The contents are presented and categorized under four sections as follows: A- Knowledge and Understanding, B- Cognitive (Intellectual or Thinking) Skills, C- Practical (Professional or 4

FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS

CONCEPT

CONTEXT

DESCRIPTION Considering site context means that design projects respect and interact with the environmental, historical, topographical, and cultural aspects of the site. This criterion evaluates how far students' projects reflect a clear understanding of the site through: - Presenting research site analysis - Applying the building regulations - Recognizing the urban design theories - Considering site-topography in drawings - Presenting surroundings and site-landscape in all design drawings - Applying the real dimensions of the surrounded urban fabric, landscape, and routes Design concept may depend on a variety of sources; art, history, theories, science, literature, nature, technology, structure system, environment, site-interaction, extra. It can be driven from the contemporary trends of architecture. Concept should be characterized by depth, philosophy, and supported by research-evidence. This criterion evaluates how far students' projects use a clear idea which is sequentially developed through: - A design-process - A clear concept expressed by sketches, text, images, conceptual study models, reflective drawings In this module, multi-functions are simple and required to be assembled under a widespan structure system into a universal space. This criterion evaluates how far students' projects fulfil the required functions through: - Applying research data in the design proposal - Solving correctly circulation, zoning, and entrances - Considering orientation of the building according to the environmental factors - Following the required areas in the program A remarkable wide-span structure should be used in both projects. Students' projects have to: - Show a genuine structure system with new building materials - Following a structural module in span and spacing - Show how this structural system is correctly drawn in plans, sections, and if externally apparent in elevations and site plan. - Select a structure system matched with the new millennium applying the new building technologies and the new materials for the structural elements and membrane. This selection should be also based on the site context and the environmental circumstances. This criterion evaluates: - The visual, verbal, and written methods and appropriate media (including sketching, modelling, 2D & 3D drawings, digital and electronic techniques) showing an appraisal for the main design concept. - The listening skills, the body-language, the way of response to jury's comments, the correct usage of terms, and the reasonable way of presenting ideas.

COURSE DESCRIPTION &OBJECTIVES 

The intention of the Fourth Year Design Studio is to be a critical step in the design student’s development of design awareness, understanding, and ability. This studio will prepare the student for an expansion of these principles to prepare for the Fifth year and penultimate design studio.



While the major portion of the studio time will be spent in the patient search for solutions to architectural design problems, an important component of the work will involve looking into the nature of Architecture, to seek a deeper meaning by way of investigation and criticism. The balance between theoretical and practical aspects of our task will encourage the student to become more thoughtful in their day-to-day work. The student will explore theoretical design issues as well as comprehensive problem solving exercises, addressing a wide range of architectural issues from broadest contextual elements to more detailed technological components.



The role of the faculty is to assist the student in constructing a conceptual framework for design within which to develop their design decisions. The question becomes, what do you value in architecture, and why? The objectives of this course, then, are to explore, evaluate, interpret and communicate the design process, to develop critical thinking, concept generation, transformation and development as a basis for architecture, and to explore the inter-relationship between premise, process, and product.



The design studio projects is structured to enable the student to comprehend the integral relationship between site analysis and design methods, history and theory; program and site; and building technology and environmental sustainability. Individual instructors emphasize different knowledge areas among these based on their own experiences, the specifics of the design problem at hand, and the interests and abilities of individual students.



The student’s “design process” is assumed to be at the intermediate stage where analysis, synthesis, alternative design selection, and scheme development are thoroughly researched and communicated.



Students are expected to have developed knowledge and skills in: site and contextual analysis; researching and understanding the use of building precedents; developing a design concept and the use of digital modeling and representational software; creating physical sketch and presentation models; fundamental sustainable design principles; sketching design ideas; structural system and material selection; essential orthographic and perspective architectural representations; and graphic design and verbal presentation.

Note: Alterations to the above plan and timetable are possible according to the actual progress of work and assessment as monitored by the course teaching staff. Therefore, interim submissions and evaluation could be required and their outcome communicated to the students to provide them with further guidance.

COURSE POLICIES DESIGN CRITIQUES Critiques are the essential format for architectural education and project development. They are the means by which faculty and student discuss and develop a project together. This is a two-way communication, and is only made possible through the student’s responsibility to be prepared with drawings, models, ideas, and questions for discussion each day of studio. PORTFOLIO AND DOCUMENTATION OF DESIGN WORK It is essential for architectural students, like architectural professionals, to thoroughly document and reproduce their work. It is the nature of architectural design work that reproduced images of work are critical to presentation. Reproduction creates backups of drawings and physical models that may eventually be lost or damaged. Students are therefore required to document all studio work in an A3 format. Digital copies of design work are also required after each final project presentation. Proper documentation does not include only images. It also includes preliminary design sketches, concise written descriptions of the design problem; and a basic description of the design proposal or solution. ATTENDANCE POLICY Faculty work proceeds at such a pace that regular attendance is necessary for each student to obtain maximum benefits for instruction. Regular and punctual attendance at all class and studio sessions is a student obligation, and each student is responsible for all the work, including tests and written work, in all class and studio sessions. If a student plan to be away from the studio and are working on project related matters, first notify your studio instructors to discuss the nature of the absence. Three unexcused absences will result in being withdrawn with failure (WF) from the class PLAGIARISM VS., ACCEPTED AND ETHICAL WAYS OF CITING SOURCES Although the issue of plagiarism is more commonly associated with written assignments, issues of plagiarism also apply in design work. Plagiarism “includes the intentional or unintentional copying of language, structure, or ideas of another and attributing the work to one’s own efforts.” In written work, plagiarism is considered the failure to acknowledge references and sources. Similarly, in studio work, two examples of plagiarism are the unacknowledged use or abuse of precedents, and the reproduction and use of images without acknowledging their sources. In case of plagiarism, student will be withdrawn with failure (WF) from the course. COURSE CALENDAR /EVALUATION

Demonstrate theoretical knowledge and have practical skills and personal attributes and competencies that will be required for an architectural position in the international industry.



Identify the artistic and historic technical principles that relate to the history of arts.



Relate between the vocational skills necessary for immediate employment in architectural engineering and the more fundamental principles necessary for further study.



Develop the academic abilities and personal characteristics required to solve problems relevant to architectural engineering and critically assess relevant aspects of the industry.



Cultivate a professional attitude and develop skills relation to communication, teamwork, project planning and management, and responsibility for individual learning.



Demonstrate a systematic understanding of the artistic influences which relate to the history of arts.



Demonstrate an ability to initiate and sustain in-depth research relevant to the history of arts.



Defend theory and put it into practice via work-based learning.

Learning Activities The course is delivered through lectures, tutorials, directed reading, videos, computer assisted learning, case studies and experimental learning, research-based teaching materials and methods, problem-based learning scenarios including coursework assignments, projects and research paper. The main learning activities are arranged in four categories: 1- Sketch-Book: On two stages, students are asked to submit a sketch-book that gathers all the art trends mentioned in lectures. This sketch-book is required to be a manual product to determine accurately the ability of each student on his/her analytical and sketching skills. 2- Teamwork Research: The instructor asks students to conduct a plural research including the whole trends of arts appeared throughout history. This requires an accurate distribution for tasks and loads among students. This research documents the evolution of art. Each group will be responsible for specific period of art and will be asked to prepare a short clip skimming its important landmarks of art works. In week 12, students will present their clips. After making corrections given by the instructor, two editors of students will collect all the clips to produce it into one full movie that does not exceed 15 minutes. 3- The 7th Week Exam: At week no.7, a written exam will be held to examine the ability of students in analyzing, knowing, and sketching the given art trends and periods in the first seven weeks. This exam considers refreshment for students' minds to motivate them to study, read, and train on sketching projects.

ARCH467. Digital modelling

Course Code / Title: ARCH467. Digital Modelling Credits: 2 Instructor: Dr. Marwan Halabi Course Hours: 2 Hours/Week

Course Duration: 14 Weeks

Academic Semester: Faculty Elective

Semester: Fall 2017/2018

Module Info: Advanced Level Course (3 hrs. Lecture) Location: Digital Modelling Lab Time:

Tue

08:00 to 11:00

Course description and Objectives The course will deal with the investigation of design problems through the use of computer graphics from the initial stages of design conceptualization to design development, visualizing a new approach to different issues of computer aided design. This studio will concentrate on the idea of digital design that is giving rise to new architectonic possibilities. Architecture is a question of building, and forms generated on the screen are just utopian fantasies if they do not conform to the tectonic requirements of the real world. There is a big difference between designing according to the algorithmic potential of software programs and the tectonic parameters of actual building materials. At the same time, the old opposition of tectonics versus the digital design has given way to a new tectonics of digital design that can be lead to the desired materialization through the help of CAM technologies. Within this overall aim, the course strives to enable students to: 1. 2.

3. 4.

Further develop the students’ digital skills in modeling techniques as well as applying the computer as a design tool for the generation of a project Investigate new tools in design, which provide the possibility of studying the transformation of a drawing with respect to changing variables, and the integration of different parameters in the design process Present an opportunity for students to creatively explore new ideas, theories and techniques and to integrate their personal research in the generation of a comprehensive design project Explore different strategies to create an architecture composed of complex geometries, solids, complex surfaces and curves such as NURBS (Non-Standard Uniform B-Splines). For such experiment, we will be using different softwares, among them Rhinoceros as the main tool, combined with the traditional CAD and with the flexibility of the Spline-based technology to precisely represent complex forms instead of just vectorial lines o polygon meshes. An up-to-date set of new tools will be introduced lately in order to parametrically control the process of design and construction.

TEACHING AND LEARNING METHODS:  The course is delivered through lectures, tutorials, seminars, directed reading, videos, computer assisted learning, case studies and experimental learning, research-based teaching materials and methods, problem-based learning scenarios including coursework assignments and projects.  Students should have basic computer drafting skills. The course seeks to provide students with digital modelling strategies by using “Rhinoceros” as the main software in addition to complementary programs such as AutoCad, 3D Max, and Photoshop.  In addition, through the realization of a series of exercises of different scales, students will be provided with the following:

Research (Group work) Relate your assignment to an every-day situation from the following possibilities:

182

Beirut Arab University Faculty of Architecture Design & Built Environment

Handbook Academic Year 2017/2018

An EIA project that is planned in your local area (or anywhere in Lebanon) 

Construction or redevelopment of a road, or public transport facility



Expansion of part of the operations of a heavy engineering firm on a new (but nearby) site



Development (or redevelopment/expansion) of a regional shopping centre

Discuss and agree your choice of what you would like to do, and resources, with your instructor. After you have selected your topic, following negotiation with your instructor, you are asked to prepare a 2000 word maximum report. This report will provide a critically thought-through plan for an EIA (related to the situation you have chosen). You should prepare a framework that could be given to someone else to complete all the details. As part of this report you will: briefly describe the situation to which the EIA applies; discuss why the EIA is needed; identify the components that will constitute the EIA; discuss the purpose/role of each component; and base your discussion on the literature related to EIA theory or practice. Imagine that you are an environmental consultant, and you have been commissioned by a developer to undertake an EIA of a local example of a proposed or current development project or policy. 

In a letter to the developer, outline the local legal and regulatory framework for EIA and its role in gaining permission to apply the policy or construct and operate the proposed development. (10% marks)



Develop a scoping matrix for the development and produce a brief method statement to justify your choice of impacts (15% marks).



Develop a document as if you were an environmental consultant outlining how you would go about carrying out an environmental baseline study for one of the chosen elements taken from scoping list already developed (15% marks).



Create Assessment and mitigation summary table, using information about your proposed project or policy, and supplementary reading (10% marks).



Provide a written commentary explaining your choice of impact magnitude and significance descriptors, and your suggested mitigation measures (15% marks).



Choose the main impacts and explain why they may prevent the project from proceeding (15% marks).

Quizzes: Each class may include a quiz covering the previous week’s reading assignment. These cannot be made up if missed. Course Calendar / Schedule STAGE LABEL & DESCRIPTION Week 1

Course Objectives This course is designed for beginners students of architecture to sensitize them with main aspects involved in the creation of architecture. Students are encouraged to perceive and understand aspects of form, function and structure in buildings as three interrelated component in design. The course provides an in-depth Knowledge of architecture design elements and their inter-relations. The contents include: basic design theories and strategies related to the development of spatial concepts in architectural design, emphasis on concept generation and evaluation morphological study of essential architectural elements of form and space and those principles controlling their organization in the built environment, 2d and 3d design drawings. Also emphases is drawn upon how elements of form, as the primary tool of design, counter and transcend functional aspects. Within this perspective, in class and off campus exercises are designed to analyze models of architecture work .Learning Activities    

Understanding main components of architecture and design Defining architecture and what it should do Determining the inter-relationships among Form, Space, function, structure… Analysing architectural projects; planning, elevations, perspectives…

EVALUATION CRITERIA

STRUCTURAL

FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS

CONCEPT

CONTEXT

Weight Considering site context means that projects respect & interact with the historical, cultural, topographical, and environmental aspects of the site. This criterion evaluates how far students' projects reflect a clear understanding of the site through: - Presenting research site analysis - Applying the building regulations - Recognizing the urban design theories - Considering site-topography in drawings - Presenting surroundings and site-landscape in all design drawings - Applying the real dimensions of the surrounded urban fabric, landscape, and routes Design concept may depend on a variety of sources; art, history, theories, science, literature, nature, technology, structure system, environment, site-interaction, extra. It can reflect one of the contemporary trends of architecture. It should be characterized by depth, philosophy, and supported by research-evidence. In this semester, concept should: - Emphasize on the architectural character and the identity - Represented through a way of assembling units and components into an urban composition. - Have a clear idea which is sequentially developed through a design-process and expressed by (sketches, text, images, conceptual study models, reflective drawings) In this module, residential or recreational functions are required to be assembled into an urban composition. This criterion evaluates how far students' projects fulfil the required functions through: - Applying research data in the design proposal - Solving correctly circulation, zoning, entrances, parking lots, public spaces, and landscape elements - Considering orientation of buildings according to the environmental factors - Following the required areas in the program A modular simple structure should be used in both projects. Students' projects have to: - Show an organized structural module in order to solve the residential or recreational spaces. - Select building materials of construction and finishing reflected the architectural character of the site. - Show how this structural system is correctly drawn in plans, sections, and if externally apparent in elevations and site plan - Select a structure system matched with the new millennium applying the new building technologies and the new materials for the structural elements. This selection should be also based on the site context and the environmental circumstances This criterion evaluates: - The visual, verbal, and written methods and appropriate media (including sketching, modelling, 2D & 3D drawings, digital and electronic techniques) showing an appraisal for the main design concept. - The listening skills, the body-language, the way of response to jury's comments, the correct usage of terms, and the reasonable way of presenting ideas.

TEACHING & LEARNING METHODS This course is delivered through lectures, tutorials, directed reading, videos, computer assisted learning, case studies and experimental learning, research-base learning, student-base learning, problem-based learning scenarios including coursework assignments, projects and research paper. The main learning activities are arranged in four categories:

232

Beirut Arab University Faculty of Architecture Design & Built Environment

Handbook Academic Year 2017/2018

5- Sketch-Book: On two stages, students are asked to submit a sketch-book that gathers all the projects mentioned in lectures. This sketch-book is required to be a manual product to determine accurately the ability of each student on his/her analytical and sketching skills. 6- Teamwork Research: The instructor asks students to conduct a plural research including the whole trends of architecture appeared from 1900 till now. This requires an accurate distribution for tasks and loads among students. This research documents the most important architectural features for the trends of the referred period. To produce it, each group will be consisted of two students who will sketch a single project on A1 Sheet (Landscape Direction) manually, fully presented and inked. This A1 sheet will include a specific template of (Title of the project, its opening date, location, and the name of the architect, and to which architectural trend this project belongs). A student will be entrusted to combine these A1 sheets, adding a cover sheet. 7- The 7th Week Exam: At week no.7, a written exam will be held to examine the ability of students in analyzing, knowing, and sketching the given projects in the first seven weeks. This exam considers refreshment for students' minds to motivate them to study, read, and train on sketching projects. 8- Quiz: At the final lecture of the course, as a concentrated revision, the students will be distributed into groups; each group will consist of five students. This quiz is a presentation for unknown projects. After the presentation, each group will submit a paper recording their opinions in these shown projects; identifying each project's architectural trend. This quiz aims to assure that the students already understand the architectural languages that distinguish every architectural trend.

Course Description &Objectives 

The intention of the Fourth Year Design Studio is to be a critical step in the design student’s development of design awareness, understanding, and ability. This studio will prepare the student for an expansion of these principles to prepare for the Fifth year and penultimate design studio.



While the major portion of the studio time will be spent in the patient search for solutions to architectural design problems, an important component of the work will involve looking into the nature of Architecture, to seek a deeper meaning by way of investigation and criticism. The balance between theoretical and practical aspects of our task will encourage the student to become more thoughtful in their day-to-day work. The student will explore theoretical design issues as well as comprehensive problem solving exercises, addressing a wide range of architectural issues from broadest contextual elements to more detailed technological components.



The role of the faculty is to assist the student in constructing a conceptual framework for design within which to develop their design decisions. The question becomes, what do you value in architecture, and why? The objectives of this course, then, are to explore, evaluate, interpret and communicate the design process, to develop critical thinking, concept generation, transformation and development as a basis for architecture, and to explore the inter-relationship between premise, process, and product.



The design studio projects is structured to enable the student to comprehend the integral relationship between site analysis and design methods, history and theory; program and site; and building technology and environmental sustainability. Individual instructors emphasize different knowledge areas among these based on their own experiences, the specifics of the design problem at hand, and the interests and abilities of individual students.



The student’s “design process” is assumed to be at the intermediate stage where analysis, synthesis, alternative design selection, and scheme development are thoroughly researched and communicated.



Students are expected to have developed knowledge and skills in: site and contextual analysis; researching and understanding the use of building precedents; developing a design concept and the use of digital modelling and representational software; creating physical sketch and presentation models; fundamental sustainable design principles; sketching design ideas; structural system and material selection; essential orthographic and perspective architectural representations; and graphic design and verbal presentation.

Note: Alterations to the above plan and timetable are possible according to the actual progress of work and assessment as monitored by the course teaching staff. Therefore, interim submissions and evaluation could be required and their outcome communicated to the students to provide them with further guidance.

Course Policies

DESIGN CRITIQUES Critiques are the essential format for architectural education and project development. They are the means by which faculty and student discuss and develop a project together. This is a two-way communication, and is only made possible through the student’s responsibility to be prepared with drawings, models, ideas, and questions for discussion each day of studio. PORTFOLIO AND DOCUMENTATION OF DESIGN WORK It is essential for architectural students, like architectural professionals, to thoroughly document and reproduce their work. It is the nature of architectural design work that reproduced images of work are critical to presentation. Reproduction creates backups of drawings and physical models that may eventually be lost or damaged. Students are therefore required to document all studio work in an A3 format. Digital copies of design work are also required after each final project presentation. Proper documentation does not include only images. It also includes preliminary design sketches, concise written descriptions of the design problem; and a basic description of the design proposal or solution. ATTENDANCE POLICY Faculty work proceeds at such a pace that regular attendance is necessary for each student to obtain maximum benefits for instruction. Regular and punctual attendance at all class and studio sessions is a student obligation, and each student is responsible for all the work, including tests and written work, in all class and studio sessions. If a student plan to be away from the studio and are working on project related matters, first notify your studio instructors to discuss the nature of the absence. Three unexcused absences will result in being withdrawn with failure (WF) from the class PLAGIARISM VS., ACCEPTED AND ETHICAL WAYS OF CITING SOURCES Although the issue of plagiarism is more commonly associated with written assignments, issues of plagiarism also apply in design work. Plagiarism “includes the intentional or unintentional copying of language, structure, or ideas of another and attributing the work to one’s own efforts.” In written work, plagiarism is considered the failure to acknowledge references and sources. Similarly, in studio work, two examples of plagiarism are the unacknowledged use or abuse of precedents, and the reproduction and use of images without acknowledging their sources. In case of plagiarism, student will be withdrawn with failure (WF) from the course.

ARCH264. INTRODUCTION TO SHAPE GRAMMARS

BASIC INFORMATION Course Title: Introduction to Shape Grammars Code: ARCH264 Hours Lecture: 1 Prerequisites: N/A Academic Year / Level: Faculty elective Specialization: Architectural Engineering

Tutorial: 2

Credit: Term: Spring

19- COURSE DESCRIPTION AND OVERALL AIMS: Shape Grammar’s concept draws on analogies between visual and natural language, capturing a sense of order in matter and form. It is therefore familiar beside other terms like “style” and “theme” that highlight the awareness of form repetitive patterns, constituent parts, compositional rules and families of designs that share common features. Using “grammar” and “language” as metaphor in design is an attempt to make seemingly tacit practice explicit through defined criteria. Shape grammars provide a formal mechanism for generating compositions based on shapes and their spatial relationships by specifying methods to replace parts of shapes with others. The course aims to
introduce
spatial
grammars
and
their
applications,
primarily
to
design
and
composition.

Emphases 
on
the
formal
and
informal
aspects
of
grammars,
evolution
of
grammatical
ideas,
their
relevance,
ap plication
and
use
in
the
analyses
of
‘styles’,
synthesis
of
‘form’,
and
incorporation
of
‘function‘,
and
 not
least,
in
teaching
grammars
to
a
computer. Within this overall aim, the course attempts to build-up the students' capabilities to:       

Understand the meanings behind Design Computation’s concepts, reasoning and approaches. Practice and Understand Shape grammars processes of Analysis and Synthesis. Develop a flexible eye (Visual reasoning). Be able to extract common features of Simple to medium complex designs Develop a better understanding of composition and visual correlations and an ability to develop Innovative design following simple formal rules. Develop the students’ skill of thinking and making respectively as well as a good understanding of and control over their own design processes. Create drawings of basic objects in a three dimensional (3D) environment.

20- INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES OF THE COURSE (ILO): All intended learning outcomes (ILO) are aligned with core ARB/RIBA criteria, utilizing all or in part the following five thematic headings: Design, Technology and environment, Cultural Context, Management practice and law, and Communication.

ARCH467. Digital modelling

Course Code / Title: ARCH467. Digital Modelling Credits: 2 Instructor: Dr. Marwan Halabi Course Hours: 2 Hours/Week

Course Duration: 14 Weeks

Academic Semester: Faculty Elective

Semester: Fall 2017/2018

Module Info: Advanced Level Course (3 hrs. Lecture) Location: Digital Modelling Lab Time:

Tue

08:00 to 11:00

Course description and Objectives The course will deal with the investigation of design problems through the use of computer graphics from the initial stages of design conceptualization to design development, visualizing a new approach to different issues of computer aided design. This studio will concentrate on the idea of digital design that is giving rise to new architectonic possibilities. Architecture is a question of building, and forms generated on the screen are just utopian fantasies if they do not conform to the tectonic requirements of the real world. There is a big difference between designing according to the algorithmic potential of software programs and the tectonic parameters of actual building materials. At the same time, the old opposition of tectonics versus the digital design has given way to a new tectonics of digital design that can be lead to the desired materialization through the help of CAM technologies. Within this overall aim, the course strives to enable students to: 5. 6.

7. 8.

Further develop the students’ digital skills in modeling techniques as well as applying the computer as a design tool for the generation of a project Investigate new tools in design, which provide the possibility of studying the transformation of a drawing with respect to changing variables, and the integration of different parameters in the design process Present an opportunity for students to creatively explore new ideas, theories and techniques and to integrate their personal research in the generation of a comprehensive design project Explore different strategies to create an architecture composed of complex geometries, solids, complex surfaces and curves such as NURBS (Non-Standard Uniform B-Splines). For such experiment, we will be using different softwares, among them Rhinoceros as the main tool, combined with the traditional CAD and with the flexibility of the Spline-based technology to precisely represent complex forms instead of just vectorial lines o polygon meshes. An up-to-date set of new tools will be introduced lately in order to parametrically control the process of design and construction.

TEACHING AND LEARNING METHODS:  The course is delivered through lectures, tutorials, seminars, directed reading, videos, computer assisted learning, case studies and experimental learning, research-based teaching materials and methods, problem-based learning scenarios including coursework assignments and projects.  Students should have basic computer drafting skills. The course seeks to provide students with digital modelling strategies by using “Rhinoceros” as the main software in addition to complementary programs such as AutoCad, 3D Max, and Photoshop.  In addition, through the realization of a series of exercises of different scales, students will be provided with the following:

286

Beirut Arab University Faculty of Architecture Design & Built Environment

Handbook Academic Year 2017/2018

4- A set of conceptual and visual tools as supportive information when realizing exercises and designing projects. 5- Exposure to innovative ways to design and obtain complex and, at the same time, rational results. 6- Awareness of the visual qualities of architecture in general, while also learning how to translate observation, knowledge, and intentions into the digital design process.

Course Objectives This course focuses on the design and construction of three-dimensional forms such as packaging, exhibits, and displays. Students conceptualize and develop preliminary plans, and build three-dimensional models of their design projects using a variety of materials and techniques. Additional emphasis is placed on developing the student’s ability to conduct significant research and analysis. Students may address projects involving the renewal of an existing brand and subsequent packaging applications within a coherent marketing program. This is the last design course that students enroll in before their senior practice. Students should therefore approach it as a chance to consolidate their overall acquired experience from typography, color theory, visual identity, communication, editorial and digital skills, while focusing on the practice of design as a clear iterative work process starting with audience research, ideation and prototyping, and ending with high quality craft and production. By the end of this course, students will be able to: 

    

Understand packaging and environmental design as interdisciplinary design processes that borrow from different knowledge areas such as human factors and ergonomics, spatial and structural design, system thinking, material and technology. Become familiar with various design research techniques and ideation strategies. Understand how form and space carry meaning, particularly within commercial interactions and environments, forming an integral part of contemporary branding practices. Value the relationship between design and user experience, and how design can positively or negatively affect the user’s interaction with a product/brand/space, and alter their perception of it. Recognize the responsibility of the designer towards their environment, and the importance of sustainable thinking when it comes to choice of material and size/type of waste generated. Represent 3-dimensional design ideas through digital and manual simulations and models.
