Graduation Project Studies

The course aims at preparing the preliminary studies to the final design studio (the graduation project) that includes the basic criteria of design, the formulation and development of the program, site evaluation, collecting necessary data and analytical studies of program and site. Precedents and similar architectural projects are also studies, analyzed, argued and compared. This is an integrated study that combines the collective outputs of previous architectural, technical, environmental, urban design and planning studies and knowledge acquired through the years of study that finally leads to the required architectural and urban program.
