Course Description

This is a digital-oriented and practical course that aims to familiarize students with the concept of Building Information Modelling (BIM), mainly the students will be introduced to the concept of BIM, and how the architectural components are different from other previously learned platforms like CAD. Students will learn how to model both conceptual and detailed architectural models, and how they can generate the required documentation out of their designs. By the end of this course, students will be able to model different architectural families and make presentations with colored plans and elevations placed into well-designed architectural sheets. They should also be able to analyze their final building design performance and see how it can respond to light and energy, estimate their building material requirements and make the required BOQ.
