Design
The courses in design studio combine design fundamentals and design concepts, along with the opportunity to involve analysis and synthesis, professional and scientific insights, application of tools and methods for designing artifacts for man, and an awareness of the inherent physical characteristics and limitations of media and materials. The objectives of the studio are: (1) to guide the student in observing aspects of the physical and social environment; to find, categorize and associate the information into _ fundamental structures and patterns of relationships; (2) to apply theories generated in the lecture courses to situations in the physical environment, implementing by categorizing the courses into behaviour of materials, structures and mechanical systems, behaviour of man, and communications; (3) to provide the student with an opportunity to develop skill in using different “*techniques’’ for analyzing and synthesizing problems in the physical environment; (4) to establish a relationship between faculty and students where all faculty members are consultants to the students; (5) to provide a vehicle for persons from faculties of different disciplines and from outside of the university to discuss with students their problems and projects from different points of view.
