This studio course builds on Basic Design and satisfies the 3-credit hours specialization requirement and specific requirements for programs as outlined in the AUK Undergraduate Catalog. The course includes elementary architectural design practical exercises, presentations, and selective topics from books, architecture periodicals, and internet publications. The presentations are designed to develop students’ ability to address fundamental architectural design principles and increase their basic knowledge and understanding of design in architectural engineering. Primary elements, forms, and shapes in architecture, basic rules of order, grouping and composition, basic rules of harmony, scale, and transformation of forms. Towards the end of the course, students are given a design exercise that is less abstract and more realistic - involving space planning, programming, functional relationships/bubble diagrams, circulation, and building construction
