Courses for Bachelor of Architecture
(For Recommended Programme, see page 159).
The courses for the Bachelor of Architecture Programme are intended to prepare the student to demonstrate professional skill in separating, organizing, and conceptualizing actual prabiems in the man-made environment in his/her role as an architect, alone and in a team; to synthesize mechanical, structural and functional systems into architectural expressions which adapt to social needs and aspirations of society, user, client and community, alone and with the help of others; to adapt his/her skills to (a) real world constraints, (b) to the evolution of social economic and technological changes, and (c) to influence change both in constraints and environmental problems and know the current methods and procedures in professional practice for defining and-solving environmental problems; to organize patterns of © behaviour which assure continuing development for professional competence and relevance at all times; and to pass the examination for registration as an architect if he/she aspires to become a practising professional.
The application of critical thought will be exercised regularly through oral and written assignments on a wide range of designed human experiences; secondarily, there will be reading assignments to facilitate the practice of criticism through a broadening knowledge of critical theory and its relationship to culture.
