Tishk International University, Faculty of Engineering, Architectural Engineering Department organized a scientific trip for first stage students to Goyzha Mountain in Sulaimani on Sunday, May 15, 2022.

In the architecture department, 1st-grade students start designing by making compositions without much of the design criteria to help them practice their imagination. Then, moderately, they will have projects on bigger scales. The first project for them that involves function as one of the design criteria is “Rest Place for Hikers” on a mountain with high levels and contour lines. With its mesmerizing nature, Goyzha mountain is one of the most appropriate sites for such a project, as students will challenge how they design according to these levels and how they will deal with it since it is clear that Sulaimany has many topographical differences in levels due to its specific geography. So, the trip’s main purpose was to show the students the location and surroundings of their project closely to make them imagine and design easier.
