ARCH 460 Architectural Design5 is a comprehensive design of large scale building, considering the integration of the various engineering systems. Design quizzes are used as means of incorporating engineering systems, i.e. by defining the appropriate systems selected and their application in the architectural design. Evaluation of student final design will be on basis of the successful the integration of engineering systems in the architectural design.  

                

          Aim of this Course:

            Systems for buildings such as Structural, Mechanical,

            Electrical,  Sanitary and other supporting systems.

2)     Exposure to choose engineering systems which are feasible and properly integrated to the functions of the buildings.

3)     Exposure to apply and incorporate all Engineering systems to the Architecture Design of the project.

 

         Description of this course:

·     Student has to choose different Engineering Systems integrated properly each other without violating the Architectural design.

·     Make use of the exercises and sketch designs undertaken in the studio during the semester for the project development namely

·          Architectural Design

·          Structure Design

·          Mechanical Design

·          Electrical, Sanitary and other systems.

Student has to present his complete project with all drawings and models for pre-final presentation.

He has to present also a final and finished project drawing graphically and orally, with complete and exhaustive technical report in the presence of a jury from the Architecture Department.

        Program:

Students have to choose a real project from the proposed project in this course of Architecture design studio – 5 for this semester. (This semester the proposed project is only one due to less number of students ). Each student is required to present all Architecture drawings incorporating all engineering systems properly like structural, Mechanical, Sanitary, electrical and other supporting systems (Fire Fighting systems etc.  ) well studied so that it integrates each other without affecting the other systems specially Architecture design.

 This course is different from other courses, as this course concentrates basically on the application of various engineering systems required for a project. This project has to be more professionally designed as if it is implemented in reality. The drawings are required to be more real, professional and showing all the systems without any violation to other systems. The drawing should reflect the reality showing all the information needed at the site carefully like axes, dimensions, levels and details of construction elements with the expression of the material standards currently in practice.

 

This semester the proposed project is as follows:

PHARMACEUTICAL FACTORY

 

         Requirements:

Students have got to follow the program according to schedule undertaking several stages as mentioned in the time table. Students have to submit their work for each stage within a prescribed time to obtained higher grades and avoid any delay for which he is penalized.
