The Department of Architecture at the University of Baghdad organized a scientific field visit for second-year students, Group B, under the supervision and guidance of the course professors, to a number of residential houses designed by consultant architect Dr. Ammar Saleh Ashour. This visit was part of the requirements for the Architectural Design course, aiming to enhance students’ design skills through direct exposure to distinctive residential projects.
The visit included an exploration of the design and engineering details of these projects, focusing on how the architect interacts with the surrounding environment and meets the users’ needs. Additionally, discussions were held regarding the challenges faced during the design and construction phases, as well as the types of materials used and their application methods. Through this visit, the department aimed to develop students’ practical skills and raise their awareness of the importance of achieving a balance between aesthetic and functional aspects in architectural design.
Organizing such visits is part of the department’s strategy to strengthen students’ practical knowledge and bridge the gap between theoretical curricula and real-world experiences. This contributes to preparing a generation of architects capable of meeting market demands and innovating practical design solutions.
