Despite the theory concept they acquire, various industries also need to know their capacity to complete projects using their specific initiatives. Thus, we recommend students realize engineering projects in their four years of engineering and try to present as many white papers as possible. Students who give importance to their course projects are expected to learn how to: ● ● ● ● Work in teams including multidisciplinary teams. Build a major design experience based on the knowledge and skills acquired in the coursework. In the design process, both creativity and criticism are essential. The following are the seven steps that students should consider while designing their projects: Build a major design experience that incorporates appropriate engineering standards and multiple realistic constraints. Apply both analysis and synthesis in the engineering design process, resulting in designs that meet the desired needs. ● ● Recognition of the need and identifying opportunities: Every project begins with the recognition that needs improvement. These needs may be obvious or hidden to be revealed by investigation, surveys, or research. Definition of the design problem: It is a major task that requires gathering information about the problem. ● Definition of the design criteria and constraints: While the problem is being defined, the design criteria and constraints must be defined. a- Design criteria are performance standards to be met by the design. b- Design constraints are limitations placed on the designer, the final design, or the manufacturing process. Examples of constraints include accessibility, aesthetics, codes, constructability, cost, ergonomics, extensibility, functionality, interoperability, legal considerations, maintainability, manufacturability, marketability, policy, regulations, schedule, standards, sustainability, or usability. c- Risk analysis. The design loop: design is a repetitive process of: a- Synthesis (Brainstorming - Generating new ideas) b- Analysis (Breaking ideas - find expected results) c- Decision-making (Deciding the best alternative) Optimization: Design team must ask themselves if it is the optimum design. Optimum is the best design that can be achieved at a reasonable cost. The proposed design is judged against the design criteria. Evaluation: Design team should hold a design review to approve drawings and specifications before they are released. If an optimum design cannot be achieved, the design team might revise the problem definition, the design criteria, or the constraints to achieve the optimal solution or prototype. II. Project Description Architectural drawings are an architect's means of communication during the distinct stages of a building's design process. These include visual sketches in the analysis stage. and diagrams in the conceptual design stage. In addition, the schematic design stage where the conventional views used to represent a building are site plan, floor plans, elevations, cross- sections, isometric & axonometric projections, and perspectives. In this project, the student is required to design a house and provide the client with analytical sketches in the analysis and conceptual stage. In addition, all the conventional views which in the schematic design stage. Architectural drawings are not the only architect's sole tool for communication, models also are used to develop ideas and represent innovative designs. Therefore, the student will be requested to do both architectural drawings besides a detailed model, to represent his final project. Note that: The student should submit the project using instrumental drawings only. Digital drawing using CAD or BIM is not allowed. 1-Function: The main aspect of the design process is to open your imagination and meet your client's needs. Your client is a Kuwaiti businessman and you are supposed to design his own family house including a private area and a public area, following the culture of Kuwaiti families, where they seek unconventional spaces for family and friends to gather and also private residential spaces to include the family's daily life. 2-Requirements: Start space planning for his house by the following required spaces with a total area of an average of 600m² [ with an accepted variation of 10% from the total area] Ground + first floor + basement (optional) + second floor of maximum 60 m2. (optional) = 600 m2. Main entrance and reception: The main entrance leads us to the Women's Salone (2 sitting areas), and guest Toilets. With a link to the services and the private space. Private space: 4 master bedrooms, living area Services: Kitchen, dirty kitchen, storage, laundry, maid's room with toilet (for 4 maids), service exit. Diwaniya: Main hall of Diwaniya with a private entrance and private court, Dining, Driver room, Toilets, and Pantry. Landscape: Recreational outdoor area, where the family can spend quality time together. You may include a pool, greenery, outdoor sitting areas, kids' area, or any other activity area. 3-Concept: The study of architectural design precedents is an important means to comprehend, criticize, and develop design abilities and skills. Therefore, this project takes advantage of developing a prominent famous maxim by Louis Sullivan “Form follows function". It is a principle of design, associated with late 19th and early 20th century architecture and industrial design in general. It mainly states that the shape of a building or object should primarily relate to its intended function or purpose. You should also apply the main architectural principles of Francis D.K. Ching. 4-Design considerations: 1- There are various design strategies to connect the building model with the space around it. Apply one of these strategies to create a well-integration between structure and landscape. 2- Decide the level of visual continuity by changing the level of the plane base. 3- Apply the design considerations of circulation elements: 4- ● Approach. Entrance. ● Configuration of the path ● Path-Space Relationships. Form of the Circulation Space. All forms can be understood to be transformations of the primary solids. Furthermore, the variations are generated by manipulating one or more dimensions or by adding or subtracting elements. Apply one or more of these form transformations. 5-Constraints: In order to design the internal and external spaces of a Kuwaiti family house. You should consider: The local climate in the design of Form and material. The Kuwaiti culture in the zoning diagrams. The Kuwait municipality residential rules, Use this link to investigate the Kuwait residential building requirements: https://www.baladia.gov.kw/sites/ar/municipalityServices/Pages/constructionSystem/page3.a spx?menultem=item6&g1=demo4
