The College of Architecture and Planning, since its establishment in 1975, has been working towards enriching the knowledge and experience of students in all fields related to Architecture and Planning. This is achieved by integrating the different fields of Architecture, Urban and Regional Planning, Landscape Architecture, Building Engineering, and Interior Architecture. The first and second year of the five aforementioned bachelor programs are devoted to basic skills and serve as a common foundation to all the programs. The remaining three years are focused on each discipline and respond to breadth and depth of each program. The design studios serve as the backbone for each program, complimented by core and elective courses. The core courses are related to construction, structure, environmental control, and history and theory, and the elective courses help students widen their knowledge in a specific field of interest. In addition, to ensure integration among different disciplines of the college, a student has to defend his project to a multidisciplinary jury. The jury teams are formed with internal and external members. The internal members are selected from the different departments within the college, while the external jury members are invited professionals from both public and private sectors. The studio culture encourages collaboration and interaction among students within the same department at different academic levels by adopting what is so-called vertical studio. In doing so, students can exchange their experience and knowledge to each other, as another method of effective informal learning process. Our goal, as faculty members and students, is to keep an innovative and convivial studio culture that enriches the learning experience and enhances the identity and mission of this institution.

This department, setup in 1975, has indeed travelled a path different from other such institutions in the country; ‘trajectory’ aptly defines our departure from the beaten path, both in intent and destination. By showcasing the best examples of studio work we open our academic program to outside scrutiny and show what this program is all about. In a similar spirit, we are hard at work seeking local and international accreditation that benchmarks the program against internationally recognized qualitative standards. We have successfully completed a substantial part (Visit II) of the NAAB (National Architectural Accreditation Board, USA) ‘Substantial Equivalency’ and preparing for the final visit (VISIT III) in mid2016-. We are concurrently preparing for NCAAA (National Commission for Academic Accreditation and Assessment) that will be reviewed by visiting panelist in the coming months. This labor of love is to reaffirm our commitment to a high-quality academic program that is comparable to reputed institutions here and abroad. This is the only meaningful assurance we can offer our students, that they have, for the time they have invested here, have acquired the necessary skills, tools and knowledge to beneficially serve the community and country. This is the second iteration of ‘Trajectory’, our college brochure I congratulate the teachers and students for this effort and handsome publication.

College Of Science Rajeh Yousef Al Rajeh Mohammeed Alqadeeb General Information The project is a College of Science building, which contains many services and needs such as classrooms, laboratories, workshops, library and a huge lecture hall. The location of the proposed building is the city of Alkhobar, Saudi Arabia on the King Fahad Road next to the prince Mohammed bin Fahad University, with an estimated area of 12000 m2. This site has been proposed in order to have a relationship between the Prince Mohammed bin Fahad University and the proposed College of Science. Structural System The main structural system of the building is flat slab system which is chosen because the structural span approximately exceeds 12m. The system chosen for the main lecture hall is paneled beam system. It is selected because it has a large span approximately more than 20m. The space frame
114
is used to cover the patio, which is located in different parts inside the building to prevent the rain and to provide natural lighting. Flat Slab System The two-way flat slab system is distinguished from flat plate construction by the strengthening of the column-to-slab junction, usually in the form of drop panels and/or column caps. Flat slab construction is an economical alternative to flat plate construction for heavier loads and longer spans. It also has increased resistance to lateral forces, and often requires smaller columns compared to flat plate construction. However, the drop panels and column caps used in this system result in increased construction costs and greater over all floor depths than with flat plate construction Air-conditioning System The air conditioning system of the building is Variable Air Volume (VAV) system which was chosen because it has many advantages and has better integration with the functioning of the building. In the VAV system, the conditioned air from the main unit is conveyed in ductwork to ceiling diffusers which incorporate thermostatically controlled actuators, and the temperature of each space is individually controlled.

Islamic Cultural Center Anas Jibril Al-Dabbas PREFACE As Islam is spreading all over the world, it is very important to design and build an Islamic center in the non-Islamic countries, in order to enhance the propagation of Islam by facilitating personal interactions, prayer halls, library, lectures, seminars, symposia, and related activities. The current project is an Islamic Center which is proposed for a non-Islamic country; to be built at London, United Kingdom. The objective of
124
this study is to make some modifications to the architectural design and make the design according to the designed model. The building consists of ground floor and first floor of an area of 7500m2. There are two entrances, and the building surrounding is provided with amenities such as kids’ playing ground, restaurant and sitting area with water fountain. The main facilities of the proposed Islamic Center include mosque, library, auditorium, museum (display area), small restaurant and some external shops, in addition to some classes and administration offices. The main concept of the architectural design is the repeating/offsetting circles that intersect with the angular module; this gives a repeating pattern which increases as it goes away from the center. As this building is proposed for London, the main structural material is steel because of its regional popularity. This does not mean that the concrete is not used, but it is used in some specific places such as the staircases to resist fire owing to its ability to withstand with high temperature. All columns, beam and girders are made of steel and the slab is a composite steel deck (corrugated steel sheet filled with reinforced concrete). The special structures in this building include the shells roofing in the mosque, the glazed dome
in the main lobby and some skylights in the open space offices.
the total area of the building. The ground floor is for men and the first floor is for women. The second space is the library with an area of 735 m2 and occupies about %25 of the total building area. There is an emergency exit at the downside of the library. Also, there is an auditorium which can occupy 115 persons with a space of 335 m2 with some additional stores and offices, besides the restaurant,
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN The main concept of the architectural design is the repeating circles intersecting with angular module. The angle is °15 and in some places it is °7.5. The building consists of two floors — ground floor and first floor. There are two entrances, one in the northern side for the upper parking, and the other in the southern side for the lower parking. There are four gates to enter the site, two in the north and two in the south. There are about 190 parking lots. The main facility in this building is the mosque with an area of 1800 m2 which occupies about %60 of
125
some external shops, the classes in the first floor and the administration offices. STRUCTURAL DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS As the building is to be built in London, the main structural material is steel because of its popularity in London. Concrete is also used in some place such as the emergency staircases, because of its fire-resistance rating compared with the steel structures. All column and beams are made with steel section such as: W40 × 12, W39 × 10 and W13 × 8. The slab is a composite steel deck with a thickness of
126
150 mm, filled with reinforced concrete, as shown in the image below. CONSTRUCTION AND MATERIALS The main construction material is cavity wall with a cavity gap of 50 mm. The façade units are of the veneer red brick, and the interior units are made of the common concrete blocks. SPECIAL STRUCTURES There are two special structures in the building, one is the shell roof in the mosque and the other one is the dome with glazing units in the main lobby.
127
Basketball Stadium Salman Sabir Al- Jalal The project is a basketball stadium, having a capacity of 10,000 spectators. It consists of 3 floors, namely ground floor, first floor and second floor. The ground floor contains main entrances, administration section, team section, shops, VIP entrance, spectator section and seats. The first floor facilitates restaurants with setting areas, entertainment rooms and spectators seats, while the second floor has spectators’ seats, media section and VIP section.
128
The main structure system used is the frame system which is made up of reinforced concrete, which carries the seats. The other structural systems used are two way flat slab and two way solid slab. Because of the large span of the stadium 3 special structural systems are used to cover the stadium; curved space trusses which run the long distance of the span, supported by columns and mainly by two steel cables in each space truss. This is supported by two steel tube arches running across the stadium that carries the whole roof structure which make the stadium a landmark in the city and gives it aesthetic appearance. Regarding the construction materials, precast concrete panels are used as a cladding and glazing curtain wall system with horizontal movable louvers in the south façade as shading devices. Aluminum sandwich panels with insulation are used to cover the roof since the stadium is closed and airconditioned.
129
Handball Stadium Abdulhameed Ali Definition A building where people can play different types of indoor games. Sports Center Components Sports Center is divided into main sections such as, Department of Administration, Department of the Teams, Department of Analysis, Department of Entertainment and Department of Services.

Cover … As the continuity of the members from the ground across the roof surface was essential to the aesthetic desired by the architects, steel hollow structural sections (HSS) were chosen to allow each ‘stick’ to twist over the curved intersection of the wall and roof to “maintain its outer edge parallel to the façade.” HSS are strong in torsion, a property essential to members that are subjected to the eccentric loading experienced at the rounded intersection of the roof and wall. On-site welding always poses a challenge, as gaining full strength in the joint requires rigorous attention to on-site conditions.

This is the second course addressing architectural structures in the graduate program. The subject matter will progress by investigating the design and analysis of structural systems through concrete structural design, the properties and design potentials of various materials, building services (Electrical and HVAC’s systems), and the relationship between the superstructure, construction and architecture. In addition, the course will examine the processes necessary for the assembly of structure and construction through an examination of the performance requirements for each and the design potential inherent in their components. The focus will be on a solid understanding of the techniques employed in the specification and design of elements that serve each system, as well as a working knowledge of the factors that influence the configuration of those elements and the resulting morphologies. An appreciation of the technical complexity involved should lead to the development of a high level of competence to be employed in the search for opportunities to integrate the two systems with building services. One project plays a major part in this class (multi story building).

Programming Course ( (0553 -511 and provides opportunity for students formulate comprehensive or segment plans and develop implementation strategies in a professional way. The programming of resource demand and supply programs developed earlier are now fitted to develop at least three development scenarios or concepts that should be based on clearly defined elements of the previous analysis. The concepts are then evaluated based of well-defined criteria reflecting the goals and objectives of the projects and based on a scientific selection process. The selected concept is then more fully developed to elaborate its detailed physical, social, economic, environmental and landscape characteristics. The implementation framework (who does what, when, where and how) shall then be spelt out, defining the appropriate policy, action and legal instruments (such as public investments, public -private-partnership, development control mechanisms, incentives and disincentives, etc) to be used at various places and at various times. Cutting edge management tools such as place-marketing, eventsmarketing, websites deployment targeting potential developers should also be explored.

Knowledge City in Dammam Metropolitan Area Hamzah Al Thiban Over the past decade there has been tremendous increase in utilizing knowledge to promote economic and technological development of societies. As such, this study aimed to build a knowledge city in Dammam Metropolitan Area (DMA) in order to provide a favorable environment for the academics, scientists and innovators to contribute towards creating a knowledge economic base in Saudi Arabia. The first stage of the project was literature review of different resources collected from various sources and review of case studies. Using the MRRC method, the general characteristics of DMA, were then analyzed and suitable locations for establishing the proposed knowledge city in the area were identified. In the third stage Goal Achievement Matrix six was used to select the best site for locating the proposed city using six criteria. The fourth stage involved developing a space program of the population and land requirements for various activities in the proposed city. Then three alternatives concepts for the proposed city were developed and the best one was selected, which was further developed into a master plan for the proposed city. 154

Establishing a Coastal Economic City In Tabouk
Moath Al Twijry Saudi Arabia has been witnessing rapid economic development and its economy is one of the 20 largest economies in the world. Several economic cities that have been established in the Kingdom have immensely contributed towards this achievement and they are effectively being utilized to not just create jobs and provide a modern life, but to also transform the Kingdom into an Asian or Arabic economic tiger. This study, therefore, aimed at proposing a structural scheme of an economic city in the coastal area of Tabuk region. The first part of the project consisted of establishing the general characteristics of the Tabuk region (location, physical settings, population, etc), based on information collected from the literature, government agencies as well as global and local case studies on the subject of the project. The second stage involved selecting the suitable site for the proposed city using MRRC method. 156
After that a space program that identified the economic base of the city (education and technology recreation, tourism), the proposed population of 250000 residents and land requirement for each land use was developed. In the third stage three alternative concepts of the proposed city were developed (centralized, decentralized and linear), the alternatives were then evaluated based on some criteria and the centralized concept got the highest evaluation score and was selected. The fourth stage involved further development of the chosen concept into a detailed master plan for the proposed city. Lastly, the project made some recommendations for the implementation of the final Master plan – phasing, budgeting, and detailed proposals.

The legacy of landscape architecture departments, college of architecture and planning-
the university of Dammam has related to the initiation of the college itself. It started as supporting department in the 1975 to teach certain subjects and courses to the student of architecture. The landscape architecture department has started an academic program in 1985 when the first Middle Eastern Graduate program in landscape architecture has begun. The program faced some pauses periods, which do not hinder its aim. Thus, more than 25 landscape architects had graduated with master degree since the beginning of the program. In 1992 the five-year undergraduate program has approved and admitted the first patch in the same year, who graduated in 1995. Since that time, the graduated landscape architects with the first degree exceeded 185. Nowadays, the department of landscape architecture is the first twin of the other one located in King Abdul Aziz University where both are peerless in the whole Middle East. The department has developed the curriculum to ensure highly qualified graduated landscape architects. It consists of 104 credit hours spread over three years of specially designed to build up skills and knowledge in both horizontal and vertical levels. Accordingly, students at the final level will be able to deal with landscape projects of different scope, scale, type and complexity. In this volume. We as a department have tried to highlight the type of projects undertaken by students at different levels ( ranging from site design to large-scale landscape planning projects) to emphasize traditional and contemporary issues of landscape architecture. The presented projects show the ability of our graduates to deal with complexity and design problems of both a natural and built environment, where majority of them have proved their qualification in both public and private sectors. Finally, these achievements would not be possible without the support of the college administrative team and collective efforts of the landscape architecture department staff and students, who deserve great appreciation and encouragement.
