Architecture is about conceptualizing, designing, and realizing built environments of all scales. The purpose of the Bachelor of Architecture is to produce architects who are knowledgeable about the global and regional issues, have deep understanding of the context, and believe in the relevance of architecture towards a better future for all. From intensive training in verbal and graphic communication to logical thinking and the ability to theorize, the program ensures the ability to conceive a project as a whole in a context of the street, city, and culture, and as a functional entity to fulfill the needs for which it is to be built. Fostering a concern for the conservation of the Earth's resources through the development of appropriate formal and technical responses, the program enables the students to think independently, to better understand contextual issues, to determine for themselves the future directions of their development as architects considering that architecture is in service of improving the quality of life; and a responsibility for manifesting and catalyzing the process of refinement. The five year course of B-Arch is spread over ten semesters and seeks to help every student attain as high a level of personal development as he/she can achieve, allowing students to develop their own positions on what represents a high standard of architecture and to decide where they stand in relation to the wide-ranging debate on the subject. The course encourages the development of formal responses to problems of the built environment that aim to contribute to the enhancement of human EXPERIENCE .Show More
