- Course Outline: This course examines designing, drafting, documenting and presenting architectural projects in a Building Information Modeling (BIM) environment. BIM proposes a new approach of designing documenting, , constructing and even maintaining buildings. BIM constitutes an integrated model within which all graphic and non-graphic data for all the elements of a building are embedded. Architects and other building professionals work with this 3D model from the schematic design to construction document phases. They add details to the model as the project progresses; update it when necessary, and extract data from it to generate appropriate architectural/engineering representations and in order to produce calculations and analysis. The ability of using the same model throughout the life cycle of a building improves data consistency; facilitates project revisions, and shortens the project time.
- Course Objectives:
- Understanding the working principles of BIM software packages
- Designing and drafting architectural model using a BIM software
- Documenting an architectural project with BIM
- Presenting and plotting an architectural model in BIM
- Requirements and Assessments:
- A bonus of 5% will be added to the final grade of students fulfilling an %80 (11/14 classes) attendance.
- Late assignments will not be accepted.
