Postgraduate Studies • Social Science 301 MArch Programme The purposes of the professional programme are to consolidate the student’s knowledge of the art and science of building, to stress the integration of diverse subject areas, and to provide a focus of effort that will increase competence and understanding of architecture in general. The programme recognizes special gifts and tendencies, yet maintains that the design and implementation of a building and the built environment are the primary qualifications of the profession. The discipline of architeture requires an ability to integrate often conflicting goals and requirements into a convincing whole. The first year stresses the comprehensive nature of design while the second year promotes focused work. Relevant directions are supported by Computer- aided Architectural Design and offer opportunities for integration and exploration of methods facilitated by CAAD and information technology. Students are encouraged to develop their own learning plan with the assistance of faculty advisers. Courses Offered First year 1. Architectural Design M-I 2. Architectural Design M-II 3.
