OBJECTIVE:
To train students in research design and methods.
CONTENT:
Research in architecture and planning-its importance, purpose and scope in the professional and academic fields; common and exclusive areas of research in architecture and planning.
Overview of architectural and design research techniques in areas such as architectural technology, environment and behavior, design methods, architectural theory, design programming; Post-occupancy evaluation; Users’ participation.
Overview of planning research areas that contributes to the shaping of neighborhoods, communities, settlements and regions as well as infrastructure provisions and sustainable development
Research sequence and methods; Problem identification, formulation of hypothesis, objectives and methodology; Literature survey and preparation of bibliography and sources of data.
Qualitative, interpretative, correlation, analytical, experimental and quasi-experimental, modeling and simulation research methods; Case- studies.
Field surveys- physical, architectural, land use, environmental, organizational and household surveys; Preparation of schedules, questionnaires and other data sheets; Pilot surveys; Formulation of database.
Techniques and methods of analyzing architectural data, establishing correlations and interrelationships; Environmental network analysis and conclusions; Forecasting and modeling and validation.
Evaluation and appraisal of architectural and planning projects; Techniques of writing thesis, project and master plan reports, research papers for publication; Presentation techniques

OBJECTIVE:
•To do the live design project in any subject related to architecture and submit it in the form of report
CONTENT:
Architecture thesis will consists of two parts:
Research oriented towards establishing a strong theoretical background for the chosen subject.
Application to an Architecture Planning or Architecture Design proposal with appropriate details.
APPROACH:
Professional communication skill shall be evaluated periodically through communication skill by judgment at the time of presentation by the concerned student.
