ARE 314/ Architectural Design III
In Architectural Design III, students will be introduced to the dynamic relationship between buildings, streets, and public open spaces, which can create a functional, attractive and sustainable built environment. This course emphasizes sustainability through forms and functions, the integration between various arrangement of buildings and spaces, and the utilization of new technologies and systems in designing and constructing buildings. It is an interactive course that accentuates evidence-based design and research. Students will complete design proposals and schemes to redevelop an urban site in the city of Riyadh; involving different factors: economic, social, and environmental. The emphasis will be placed on fitting architectural forms into historical, and cultural contexts; enabling desirable activity patterns; conceptualizing built form; providing necessary infrastructure and service systems.
ARE 202/ Architectural Design II
This studio introduces fundamental knowledge about the interface between buildings and sites. Studio projects, lectures and field trips are utilized. Drawing conventions, and terminology will be emphasized as students investigate topics ranging from site representation, topography, orientation and circulation. The study of historic and current precedents, ecological and human behaviors, as well as the study of systems, materials and construction logics are reinforced throughout the course as well as the environmental, social, and cultural dimensions of building/site design and arrangement. Emphasis is placed on three-dimensional conceptualization, elements of design, site development, architectural history, color in design, computer generated 3D rendering, basic and advanced model building and time management skills.
BIO 103 - Introduction to Human Biology
Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Course Description: This core curriculum course will concentrate on the quantitative aspects of human biology, including biochemistry, cell biology, molecular physiology and genetics. Emphasis will be placed on molecular mechanisms of cellular processes - such as signal transduction, differential gene expression or self-recognition - that underlie and control pivotal physiological functions of the human organism. Contested topics of modern biology will be introduced and exmined using scientific method. Course Learning objectives: Upon successful completion of the course, students should achieve a sound understanding of core concepts of biology and knowledge about the role of various biological macromolecules in the human body, how different types of cells are integrated into multicellular systems, and how organs and organisms develop and function. They will also learn how to apply the scientific method to analysis of various phenomena. Textbooks and On-Line Materials: Human Biology 7th Edition by D.D.
