Architecture Master's Program (without Thesis) (M.Arch., 1 - 1.5 Years)

This studio builds upon the experience of the previous design studios at Bachelor Degree level, in the sense that increasingly complex design problems are addressed.

A course which emphasizes the Building design and construction process as a total system problem: overall structural planning and sequence of assembly, review of design for constructability; structural systems and their components

Financial planning, including cash flow analysis and return on equity models; comparison of alternatives; architecture and economy; the development cycle of a building and cost phases, conceptual design in architecture and building cost decision; factors effecting cost of the building: including building size, building shape, plan geometry, height, climate; Quality consideration; aesthetic consideration; structural consideration; life cycle costing and energy consideration; quantity take-off methods.

This course explores how architects and theorists have attempted to conceptualize the essence of architecture and deals with researches into architectural thought and philosophies which have implications for design disciplines.

The responsibilities of architects through the building production process, computer aided architectural design and rendering, computer aided modeling, computer applications for architectural database, and documentation

This is the design studio aiming to develop first phase of the architectural design project which would be completed in Final Term Project.

The primary mission of architects is sustainability in architecture, which considers environmental criteria. Introduction of the theory and concepts related to sustainability in building technology; to examine them at the scales of building material, element and overall building; definition of performance requirements and their relationship with the available technologies; to apply the theoretical knowledge of construction design to practice through case studies and assignments, definition of sub-systems and their integration and so on.

Introduction to the range of research into man- environment relationships which have implications for design disciplines; theories, models, approaches and important concepts in man-environment studies in regards to anthropological, ecological, sociological, cultural issues.

This course introduces the fundamentals of planning, and Environment of Management, project Planning including organizational planning and goal setting, strategy formulation and implementation, managerial decision making.
