    Architectural Design and Correlation Purpose: To give the student an opportunity to select the area of concentration. which he wants to search and expand for developing his aptitudes, and which will through research and scholarship contribute to the base of knowledge for architecture. Content: In term 7 the student will apply himself to architectural design and correlation directed by the faculty. In term 8 a thesis or thesis project will be chosen by the student with the approval of the faculty advisor in one of the areas of concentration offered that matches his interests and aptitudes. The thesis programme will be developed and written in Term 8. All research work regarding the thesis must be completed by the end of Co-op Work Term 5t; his work during the Co-op Work Term 5 will be compatible and will be integrated with the nature of the thesis. Term 9 will be spent on developing the thesis. In Term 10 the student will be required to analyze and evaluate his thesis as to its validity and success as a solution for the established needs and constraints of the project, and present it for faculty evaluation before obtaining his Bachelor of Architecture degree. The use of the computer is encouraged. Maximum effort will be spent in the Studio where the student will be exposed to a variety of disciplines, viewpoints and personalities in their observation of environmental aspects, structures of relationships and application of theories to achieve architectural design and correlation. The student shall-be involved in the total process of architectural design. Five areas of concentration in Architectural Design

    strengths of the University.

    a) Building design, a concentration in the programming for, the design of, and the presentation for decision-making of a complex building or building type.

    4) Urban Design, a concentration in the aspects of providing a group of buildings for an urban social group and the presentation of its provision for decision-making.

    c) Parametric Design, a concentration in the scientific approach to architectural design, incorporating systems and computer aided analysis and design; design parameters, their definitions and evaluation; data storage, retrieval and methods of manipulation for architectural design. Develop a design of an aspect of building, urban or structural design and its presentation for decision - making.

    d) Architectural Structural Design, a concentration in the design of structures for buildings meeting current and emerging needs, the development of an aspect of architectural structural design and its presentation for decision-making.

    e) Building Technology, a concentration in the new fabrication techniques, structrual possibilities, materials in modern industry for the design of new industrialized application for buildings or building components; the development of an aspect of building technology and its presentation for decision-making. -

    Students are permitted to study courses given by the University at large which are in the area of the student’s individual interest. This will hopefully provide better orientation and more interdisciplinary communication relevant to the student’s academic pursuits.

    Electives are divided into the following two categories.

    Courses selected by the student, but restricted to a certain theme area of the recommended core programme, thus termed theme elective (TE). Departmental approval required.

    Courses selected by the student without restrictions as long as the course is approved by Senate. Courses in this category are termed free electives (FE). Departmental approval is suggested.

    Each student pursuing a degree in BE.S./ARCH must have accumulated 1% course credits in the theme area of Ecology by or before his 6th academic term.

    ‘Each student pursuing a degree in B/Arch must have’ course credits

    in the theme area of Ecology by or before his 10th academic term.
