Architecture Design
Architecture Specialization was established to contribute to building a distinct scientific base in the field of architecture through advanced plans and programs of study. The program aims at graduating qualified architects who are able to participate effectively in building national institutions in a modern scientific style and using the best advanced technology.
The Department of Architecture and Design awards a Bachelor of Science Degree in Architecture (B.Sc. in Architecture), after a student successfully passes 198 credit hours with an AGPA of at least 2 out of 4 points, and for a period of 10 semesters.
Reaching out for leadership, excellence and creativity in all areas of architecture and through distinguished university education and modern applications of advanced technology, and the use of optimal and realistic scientific methods and approaches in a positive and practical environment.
Equip students with theoretical and applied knowledge and skills that qualify them to advance the level of local and regional building design and construction in accordance with modern requirements and standards that are approved locally and globally, and that adhere to social ethics and values; and strive to support and develop scientific research in architecture through cooperative work with other departments of the university and with other local and international institutions.
- Providing higher education opportunities in the field of architecture according to modern and advanced theoretical and practical applications.
- Preparing cadres specialized in the theoretical and practical fields of architecture.
- Graduating distinguished students in their specializations capable of research and innovation and building the new Libyan state on scientific and practical bases that serve the community and advance its capabilities and contribute to setting future solutions addressing the problems related to architecture.
- Optimizing the use of information technology, communication and computer science to benefit from them in establishing the concept of architecture and working to implement them to serve the profession.
- Working to build partnerships and cooperation with other departments inside and outside the faculty and university, which contributes to benefiting from the application of modern technology in architectural scientific research.
- Participating effectively in local and international academic and scientific events, and holding seminars, conferences and workshops in cooperation and solidarity with others.
- Providing consultations and expertise to the community to solve architectural and environmental problems.
- Ensuring a promising supportive learning and training environment to provide students with theoretical and practical knowledge, by division, within the Department of Architecture and Design.
The following are the skills and concepts expected to be acquired for the Architecture graduate:
- Use appropriate demonstration methods, including manual drawing and computer technology, to convey the basic formal elements at every stage of the programming and design process.
- Recognize the basics of the visual perspective, principles and systems for 2D and 3D design, and architectural structures.
- Produce technically accurate drawings and write general specifications for the proposed architectural design.
- Use basic architecture principles in designing buildings, interior spaces, sites and preparing architectural designs for different buildings of all kinds.
- Identify the architectural designs and traditions used in architecture and urban design, as well as cultural, climatic, technological, social and economic factors, and other factors that contribute to their formation and preservation.
- Recognize national traditions and local and Islamic regional heritage in architecture and urban design.
- Diagnose the principles of sustainability in architectural decision making and urban designs that conserve natural and built resources, including buildings and culturally important sites.
- Prepare a comprehensive program for an architectural project, including an assessment of the customer and user needs; an inventory of space and equipment requirements; an analysis of site conditions, consideration of relevant laws and standards; and an assessment of their implications for the project, determination of site selection criteria and design evaluation.
- Categorize the basic principles of ecosystems, their application and performance, including sound, lighting, climate modification systems, and appropriate energy use.
- Identify the basic principles and applications of plumbing and electrical systems, concrete connections, communications, appropriate safety and security systems, and fire protection systems.
- Set criteria to supervise the implementation of the various buildings and define and recognize the basic principles and appropriate use of building materials, and products and components used in architectural construction, including their impact on the environment and their reuse.
- Solve architectural and planning problems in urban areas and informal settlements.
- Identify the architect’s responsibility as defined by building codes and regulations, professional service contracts, zoning, division of decrees, environmental regulations, and laws for preserving historic sites and buildings.
- Recognize ethical standards in professional practices in the field of architecture.
A student is granted a Bachelor of Science Degree in Architecture after successfully completing 198 credit hours. These hours are distributed between Departmental General Requirements and Compulsory Specialized Courses.
