| Overall Educational Objective | To learn to comprehend the background and current impact of BIM in practice and discover BIM fundemantals such as clash detection and work-sharing. | ||||
| Course Description | The course adopts a process based approach to BIM education, teaching common multi-software, multi-disciplinary workflows at a basic level. Revit Architecture will be the BIM medium of choice. However training Revit modelers is not the aim of the course. Instead, the focus will be on making students comfortable and productive in BIM related projects, and have an increased understanding of the roles taken by all the partners involved, whether they are modeling application documents in Revit, reviewing projects on Navisworks or designing a unique element in Rhinoceros. A strong emphasis on interoperability will be preserved throughout the course, an exercise which will both introduce students to information sharing among BIM partners and how they can integrate other design tools such as Rhinoceros with Revit. Students will work in teams to experiment worksharing and different angles of being in a BIM team. They will develop conceptual prototypes based on their ideas, and try to transform such abstract information in the digital-material environment of Revit. Developing basic Revit skills is a major aspect of the course. Students are expected to be comfortably navigating the software after completion. The aim of the course is to build a strong framework and pave the path for guided self-learning. |
Course Learning Outcomes and CompetencesUpon successful completion of the course, the learner is expected to be able to:1) comprehend BIM in its theoretical, historical and economical entirety; 2) use Revit at an introductory level; 3) integrate Revit with Rhinoceros and Autocad; 4) work in teams in BIM through common workflows. |
