#FieldTrips:
Khan Al-Nakhila… A Field Architectural Study by Architecture Students

Under the patronage of the Dean of the College of Engineering and Information Technology, Prof. Dr. Ghaidaa Al-Malla, and supervised by the Architecture Department with the participation of the course instructors, the department organized a scientific field trip to Khan Al-Nakhila in the holy city of Karbala for first-year architecture students.

The trip aimed to enhance the practical aspect of academic study by providing students with direct exposure to historical buildings. The students studied the architectural features of Khan Al-Nakhila as a prominent example of heritage architecture, with specialized scientific explanations provided on the structural elements, planning patterns, and functional and aesthetic significance of the building.

This visit aligns with the college and the Architecture Department’s vision to develop students’ skills, cultivate architectural awareness based on linking theoretical knowledge with practical application, and prepare architects with a comprehensive understanding that draws inspiration from heritage while meeting the requirements of contemporary design.
