Department of Architecture

The four-year program in Architecture leads to the Bachelor of Science degree. The Architecture major establishes an intellectual context for students to interpret the relation of form, space, program, materials and media to human life and thought. Through the Architecture curriculum, students participate in the ongoing shaping of knowledge about the built environment and learn to see architecture as one among many forms of cultural production. At the same time, the major stresses the necessity of learning disciplinary-specific tools, methods, terms and critiques. Thus, work in the studio, lecture or seminar asks that students treat architecture as a form of research and speculation which complement the liberal arts mission of expansive thinking. The undergraduate education provided at Zaman University gives graduating Architects a fundamental understanding of both art and science of design, with emphasis on processes, professional standards, and the practical application of design and technology. The task of architecture is the creation of human environments. It is both an expression of human values and a context for human activity. Through the design process, architecture addresses the interrelated environmental, behavioral, and cultural issues that underlie the organization of built form. The student of architecture is called upon to direct sensitivity, imagination, and intellect to the physical significance of these fundamental issues in designing a coherent environment for people. Architectural design as a comprehensive creative process is the focus of Zaman University Department of Architecture. The objectives of the Department of Architecture reflect the view that architecture is an intellectual discipline, both an art and a profession. The program, therefore, is based on the following intentions:

• to stimulate artistic sensitivity and creative powers
• to strengthen intellectual growth and the capacity to develop creative and responsible solutions to unique and changing problems, and
• to help the student acquire the individual capabilities necessary for the competent practice of architecture and lifelong learning.
