Many modern buildings do not perform well and require extensive use of mechanical systems in order to create a habitable, comfortable condition, which consumes energy. This raises the question of what type of architecture is needed to take proper consideration of environmental principles and the nature of the place. The course will introduce a strategy for implementing Sustainable Design (with more focus on climatic design) in the context of environmentally friendly goals, improved indoor environment, and innovation within the design process

This course provides the student with a study and analysis of the buildings of the transportation sector of various types (land, sea, and air), with standards and requirements that keep pace with their development. These facilities provide a distinguished service to their users as an important and vital means of shortening distances and delivering travelers and goods from one place to another in a short period of time if compared to the recent past.The variety of services provided through means of transportation, as well as the tremendous development in the manufacture of its means of transport, including the latest aircraft, ships, yachts, high-speed trains, and buses, posed a challenge for architects and engineers to keep up with it by developing design methods in a way that suits these successive developments, in a way that supports the comfort of users in all these different atmospheres. The course is an introduction to how to design the buildings of the transportation sector and covers the most important considerations, influences and standards that must be taken into account when designing buildings and facilities of this type. The course consists of two parts: the theoretical part, and the practical part.
