Course Objectives: The course aims to equip students to design, plan, and implement complex spatial configurations for accommodation, entertainment, and cultural functions. Students are expected to incorporate physical and social opportunities while experiencing contemporary skills, by emphasizing user-centered design, They are encouraged to create innovative, aesthetic, and multifunctional spatial solutions using abstract and concrete concepts, by the effective use of modern technological tools to access information and represent designs, Another objective is to introduce practical knowledge of spatial furnishings and construction techniques. The course prioritizes holistic design that focuses on human-environment relationships, user health and safety, universal design principles, and sustainability. Students are expected to adopt an inclusive approach, respecting social and cultural rights, and environmental sustainability.
