The competition set Design I students the challenge of creating a prototype villa for Al Zorah Development, while Design III students were tasked with designing a sustainable school for the area. Emphasizing compliance with regulations, building envelopes, and sustainable solutions, the projects showcased a thoughtful integration of theoretical knowledge and practical application.
