Course Objectives:	This course introduces students to building information modelling (BIM) methods and applications in the building lifecycle with the focus on design process. Along with gaining advanced skills in using BIM technology, students will understand the way BIM efficiently supports architectural design and other disciplinary contributions to design. This course is designed to support the development of architectural design projects in BIM environment through the creation, organization and coordination of architectural, structural and MEP information in project development.

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
By the end of this course, you will be able to:

1. Describe the main concepts of BIM approach and identify the main principles of BIM modelling;
2. Apply BIM methods and tools in the development of architectural design project;
3. Create an architecture design project in a BIM environment with a high level of detail.

Course Content

BIM displaces the emphasis from drawing to intelligent models and simulations of design and construction. Understanding this shift though hands-on BIM projects are critical to prepare students for future roles in the rapidly changing field of architecture. With the aim to achieve understanding of the underlying concepts of creative and operational modeling and the level of abstraction and precision required in both, the preferred dynamic of learning in this course is through three stages: understanding the BIM fundamentals, developing intelligent models, and using them in design process though development of data-rich information models
Teaching Methods and Techniques Used in the Course are: Lecture, Individual Study, Guest Speaker/Expert Invitation, Collaborative Learning, Case Study, Simulation, Technology-Enhanced Learning, Project.
