Climatology (26134)
Climatology is the scientific study of climate, including its variability, changes, and effects on the environment and human societies. It involves the analysis of historical climate data, the study of physical processes that affect the climate, and the use of models to predict future climate patterns.
Climatologists study a wide range of climate-related phenomena, including temperature, precipitation, wind, atmospheric pressure, and ocean currents. They also investigate the causes of climate change, including natural factors such as volcanic activity and solar radiation, as well as human activities such as the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation.
The findings of climatology have important implications for many areas of society, including agriculture, public health, water resources, energy production, and urban planning. By understanding how the climate works and how it is changing, scientists can help policymakers and communities make informed decisions about how to adapt to and mitigate the impacts of climate change.
Subject Aims:
• Describe Weather and Climate.
• Describe the climate effects on human shelter.
• Describe the biological approach in building design.
• Memorize the aspects of solar energy and wind direction in building design.
• Describe the aspect of topography and contour.
• Describe the effects of prevailing winds on building.
• Describe the basic concept of house planning.
• Describe the effect of climate on building design.
• Describe the relation between environment and building forms.
• Describe the thermal effect of materials.
• Describe the treatment for climate effect on building.
Subject Outcome:
Climatology in architecture is a study related to the climate and the built environment. Buildings do not exist in isolation; they exist in a specific geographic environment. As a specific discipline, architecture strives to ensure the harmony and unity of architecture and the surrounding geographic environment. A climate rationale provides the specific underpinning for evidence-based climate decision making. It ensures that the linkages between climate impacts, climate action and societal benefits is fully grounded in the best available climate data and science. Climate plays a very important role in architecture and building forms. The composition of climatic data and the requirements for thermal comfort provides the basis for the selection of building form and building elements appropriate for the climate so as to create necessary internal comfort. One of the main factors contributing to climate change is architecture. The sector is accountable for about 50% of the greenhouse emissions in the country due to construction as well as the energy needed to keep buildings operational.

Creativity and Concept Development (26111)
Creativity and concept development are crucial aspects of the design process, including architecture. The ability to generate innovative and original ideas and develop them into a coherent design concept is essential to creating successful designs. Here are some key considerations for creativity and concept development in architecture:
Research and Analysis: The first step in developing a design concept is to research and analyze the project site, client needs, building codes, and other relevant factors. This information provides a foundation for generating ideas and informs the design concept.
Brainstorming and Ideation: Once you have a thorough understanding of the project requirements and constraints, it's time to brainstorm and generate ideas. This can be done through sketching, model-making, and other creative techniques to explore a range of possibilities.
Concept Development: The next step is to develop the strongest and most feasible ideas into a coherent design concept. This involves refining the ideas, selecting the best options, and integrating them into a cohesive vision for the project.
Iteration and Feedback: The concept development process should involve iteration and feedback. Continually refining and developing the concept based on feedback from stakeholders, clients, and other professionals involved in the project.
Integration and Implementation: Once a concept is finalized, it's time to integrate it into the design and begin the implementation process. This involves selecting materials, developing detailed drawings, and coordinating with contractors and other professionals to bring the design to life.
Overall, creativity and concept development are ongoing processes in architecture, involving a combination of research, analysis, ideation, feedback, and implementation. By nurturing your creativity and developing strong design concepts, you can create innovative and successful architectural designs.
Subject Aims:
The subject will enable the diploma Architects students to improve creativity in design education allows the student to gain different perspectives by enhancing his imagination and accumulation of knowledge. Concept and mind maps that are some of these methods guide students to think and explore. The student to establish an analysis synthesis evaluation relationship and improve his intellectual and visual perception abilities.
Subject Outcomes:
* Associate Creativity in Architecture
* Interpret the Techniques for Creative Thinking & Creativity
* Explain Architectural Concepts.
* Explain Origami.
* Describe Anthropometry.
* Describe Composition in Architecture.
