Master Thesis Discussion Titled "Spatial Dimensions Of Urban Quality"
Written by sohaibArchitecture has been granted a master's degree in Architecture on her thesis
titled “"Spatial Dimensions Of Urban Quality".
The discussion was held on Thursday, 26 October 2023, in the Department of
Architectural Engineering at the University of Technology.
The research focused on the concept of urban quality as a tool for reshaping the
built environment to accommodate new urban conditions and its role in
Achieving prosperity and contemporary development.
The research aimed to investigate the spatial dimensions at multiple levels that
achieve urban quality to develop a hypothetical model that can be tested in local
urban systems.
The study clarified the importance of integrating and interconnecting the spatial
dimensions (the cognitive-social dimension, the formal-functional dimension
(morphological), and the visual-aesthetic dimension) to achieve high-quality
urban environments.

Master Thesis Discussion Titled “Religious Placemaking Strategies
Written by sohaib
granted a master degree of Architectural Design on her thesis titled “Religious
Placemaking strategies.”
The discussion was held on Thursday, August 3, 2023, in the Department of
Architectural Engineering at the University of Technology.
The thesis focused on the concept of placemaking within the architectural field on
the basis of its relationship with society, focusing on buildings known as focal
buildings, which include (historical, iconic, and sacred religious buildings) as they
are considered the focal points for society.
The thesis aimed to present the strategies adopted by the architectural designer
with the aim of creating a religious place that enhances its focal character. The
thesis reached the possibility of achieving the focal religious place through a
method of complete loyalty to the original, by applying preservation and
rehabilitation strategies with their various mechanisms, as well as the method of
partial loyalty to the original, and through applying the strategies of encoding,
rooting, and focalisation, according to their different mechanisms.
The study also clarified the method of parallel disconnection from the original,
and through applying the parallel interruption strategy and its various
mechanisms, to conclude the contrast of strategies in achieving balance,
innovation, and achieving focal nature characteristics.
