BUILDING
SCIENCE 2
2017
The subject offers a thematic inquiry into architectural and urban theory in the broader context of philosophical schools of thought and cultural and social conditions, which include modernism, postmodernism, phenomenology, semiotics, post-structuralism, deconstruction and critical regionalism. These themes will guide the organization of weekly lecture and discussions, which will proceed from the establishment of a basic theoretical apparatus to the examination of specific cases. These will supply us with tools for the analysis of specific architectural situations. Students will develop a written synopsis of a designated reading, and an in-depth and analytical research paper on the designated topic.

Auditorium: A Case
Study on Acoustic
Design
In group of 8, students are to conduct a case study on auditorium locally It is going to be an observe and report case study.

Compile information into a report
Project 2-
Integration
Project
This project aims to integrate students' understanding of the principles of lighting design in the context their final design project of studio 04/05. It will encompasses on artificial and daylighting systems also will implement the PSALI design strategies.
