Department of Architecture
Overview
Architecture is a specialized profession associated with design proposals and building technology implementation in both environments built and natural. Architectural curricula of AURAK is establishing an educational standards of architectural training along with the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB), which is the sole organization certified to accredit U.S. professional degree of architecture worldwide: the Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch). Presenting design ideas visually to our clients, architects need to work on design innovations and to build graphical communication skills thoroughly.However, in AURAK (American University of Ras Al Khaimah) Architecture, students are learning intensely about new design thoughts and to apply special design concepts for functional spaces in architecture. Students at AURAK are also communicating their ideas through multiple media to be able of preparing a variety of architectural drawings, building models and construction documents in details….
