Learning outcomes
During the second semester, students will deepen their knowledge and skills in Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology and focus on advanced aspects of digital building modeling. They will gain a more detailed understanding of the process of designing and implementing construction projects using BIM methodology. Emphasis will be placed on multi-professional collaboration within the BIM environment, data analysis, effective model management, and the preparation of outputs for subsequent design and implementation phases. Students will learn to work with advanced tools of selected BIM software (Autodesk Revit, Archicad) and master techniques for modeling more complex building elements and structures. They will deal with the management and organization of larger projects, work with construction phases, and coordination between different professions. They will also learn about procedures for model analysis, collision detection, and design optimization. The practical part of the course will focus on advanced work with parametric objects, creating custom BIM components, and using data outputs from the model. Students will learn to generate advanced-level drawing documentation, create detailed views, tables, and material reports. They will also focus on visualizations, project presentations, and methods of effective communication of designs within the BIM environment.
Skills Students: 1. Master advanced tools of selected BIM software (e.g., Revit, Archicad) for creating, managing, and checking more complex building models. 2. Can model complex building elements, including load-bearing structures, facades, roofs, HVAC elements, and surrounding terrain. 3. Can create their own parametric components and use advanced BIM object libraries. 4. Can work with construction phases and change history within larger projects. 5. Can coordinate between professions using reference models and collision detection tools. 6. Can create and manage report tables, material lists, and other data outputs from the model. 7. Can generate technical documentation, details, legends, and drawings at an advanced level. 8. Is proficient in basic visualization, rendering, and presentation of designs in a BIM environment. General competencies Students: 1. Demonstrates the ability to work independently and in a team within a digital project environment. 2. Can effectively communicate the design and its technical and architectural aspects through a BIM model. 3. Is aware of the benefits of BIM for the transparency, efficiency, and sustainability of design and implementation processes. 4. Is prepared to collaborate with experts from various professions in digitally managed construction projects.
