Head of the Department

The Department of Architecture and Building Sciences was established within the College of Engineering at King Saud University in the year 1387(H) (1967). It was the first architecture department in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Arabian Gulf Area. With the establishment of the College of Architecture and Planning in the year 1984, the Department expanded to include building sciences and technology, and was more able to deal with the needs of the job market. The Department offers a Bachelor Degree, a Master’s Degree and a Ph. D. Degree in Architecture and Building Sciences. 

In the Department there are over 45 faculty members (Professors, Associate Professors and Assistant Professors) who are holders of Ph. D. degrees in architecture from prestigious universities. They all participated in securing several research projects and grants to the Department in particular, and to the College in general. In addition, a number of them were delegated to governmental and private institutions to assist in the development of the Nation and Society.
