‘of the world: Ancient Mesopotamia, Egypt, Indus Valley, Greece, Rome, Byzantine,
Gandhara, Islamic, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, Pre-Modern, Modern, Contemporary
including Architecture in Pakistan.
2. ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN:
Introduction to architectural design, design parameters and criteria (site, orientation,
building form, and scale), design of the built environment involving simple functions and
building materials. Distinction between client's brief and architect's brief, development of
design concept, site analysis, functional and formal implications of a design brief, design
proposals for small to medium-scale buildings to demonstrate understanding of functional
telationships, materials, structures, technology, contextual issues, and climatic response
inclusive of initial understanding of sustainable architecture.
3. MATERIALS AND CONSTRUCTION:
‘The study of building components, types of foundations, types of roofs, traditional construction
with local materials such as bricks, stone, and timber. Types of floors, sub-floors/ screeds,
floor finishes and laying techniques. Study of building construction in concrete, steel, glass,
fiber glass and other materials, internal and extemal finishes, insulation techniques ete. The
study of construction details of building components like windows, doors, and staircases.

developed and developing world. Urban Planning: Evolution of the profession; town planning
in UK; town planning in the Indo Pakistan Sub-continent. Types and Approaches of Urban
Planning: Planning profession; role ia development; approaches and types in planning.
S. STRUCTURES FOR ARCHITECTS:
Special attention has to be paid to both the integration of Architecture and structure to
achieve an expressive quality of structure that becomes architecture itself. Special effort
has to be made to use the modeling laboratory to demonstrate the relationships between
structure and architecture. Historical development of structural systems in buildings, types
of loads in buildings, structural requirements. Cantilever beams, simply supported beams
fixed and continuous beams, Post and lintel. The simple frame, multiple frames. Arches
and arched roofs, Cables and cabled roofs. Trusses and space frames. Load transfer in two
directions, rectangular beam grids and skew grids. Plates, ribbed plates, folded plates.
