The Faculty of Engineering holds a viva to demonstrate the First Project of the Students of Architectural Design (I) Module

CUBE Landmark …. A Memorial with a built-in cube

Based on the crucial role of the Department of Architectural Engineering in increasing awareness of urban environment, encouraging architectural creativity, and providing the students with excellent opportunities to share their designs perspectives and contribute to the development of their academic community; students of the Architectural Design (I) Module  demonstrated their first project entitled “CUBE Landmark” to design a distinguished memorial within the Faculty campus that is inspired by a cube due to being one of the basic components of  architectural formation.

“CUBE Landmark” project addresses the application of the fundamental principles of Architectural Design, including exploration of ideas, massing and designs evolution, preparation of horizontal plans, vertical sections, and architectural facades. The project also covers the employment of several AI tools in the production of the final visual perceptions of the memorial in its actual location.

This project brings together several significant concepts such as the development of design thinking skills, understanding of mass and space relationship, acquisition of architectural representation skills, and recognition of the competencies of latest technologies, especially in displaying and visualizing design perspectives.

Turning initial ideas into actual designs and architectural drawings into real-world visualizations undoubtedly represents a clear embodiment of our students’ special journey of architectural design on which they embark to share their insights on more innovative architectural landmarks that elevate the academic community.
