Architectural design subject is the backbone of the architectural education
curriculum. Moreover, the outcome of architectural design subject of first year is the base
that will form the students’ architectural thinking and skills in the upper leve
ls.
In this research, the author is attempting to examine architectural design educators'
views (36 teachers) of the First Year on the subjects of design education and the design
process. Since students' views are very important in formulating an educational model of
the design process, the author will also collect some students' views (114 students) from
architecture faculty, where he is employed at the University of Damascus.
The Study reveals several suggestions for improving the design methodology for
architectural design education in general and in first year in specific.
Architectural design process is relatively complex considered due to the different
content with users difference, therefore, each design has its own advantages that are
difficult to standardize the process, as some have seen as architectural design
that is a
process of producing a one-time, making it difficult architectural design quality
measurement result of not atypical The criteria used. Architectural design will be
addressed as a result of a series of decisions on the key aspects that make up the elements
of quality in design and that it must work to improve the quality of any design process.
The research presents a theoretical study on the global architectural design used for
quality assessment tools (eg DQI, DEEP, AEDET, HQI, LEED, BREEAM, BQA) to see
the certified quality standards in each tool as a step towards the formation of a general
framework for the concept of the architectural design of residential buildings quality of
during a field study of the standards derived to determine the architectural design standards
for residential buildings in Latakia
The research found a set of standards governing the quality of the architectural
design of residential buildings in Lattakia.
Sun movement considered one of the effective factor in human life, it should be studied in order to use or protect from it. sun path and its angles can be specified in hims city any time all year long, That can be done with Computer-assisted Architec
tural Design and Building Performance Simulator. Reaching for schedules, printed diagrams and digital files that can help architects in solar design process.
The research Problem lies in the ambiguity of the association relationship between the geometrical shapes and the energy surrounding them and impacting the living things in the architectural and urban space and understanding the architectural design principles that governing the design of geometrical shapes in public and especially architectural buildings commensurate with this relationship.
