| Teaching & Learning Strategies: |
• Studio-based projects & problem-based learning to develop the learners’ problem- solving methodology to an advanced level, in an architectural technology context, with one-to-one reviews/tutorials and group/class ‘crits’ to provide student feedback
• Lecture format utilised to provide theoretical instruction in CAD/BIM/software tools
|
| Module Aim: |
The aims of this module are :
• To introduce Building Information Modelling (BIM) into studio projects.
• To give students the computer skills required to communicate effectively in a modern technical environment.
• To develop a basic knowledge of buildings and sustainable site development.
• To create a wide range of working drawings and to use detail components in drafting views.
• To dress up basic elevations and plans using Photoshop and extract entourage objects from photographs.
• To familiarise students with all aspects of information technology relating to architectural technology and the architectural practice.
|
| Learning Outcomes |
| On successful completion of this module the learner should be able to: |
| LO1 |
• Use modelling techniques and sustainable site development strategies to construct domestic buildings and small scale commercial buildings, using the latest BIM software. |
| LO2 |
• Use Revit tools to import and export a wide range of information with other applications and create basic Revit families. |
| LO3 |
• Create annotation, tags dimension, text and keynotes in BIM and create automated schedules and legends of building components. |
| LO4 |
• (a) Create sheets: plans, elevations, sections, 3D sections, details, 3D details, 3D views and callouts from BIM models. (b) Produce fully detailed working drawings. |
| LO5 |
• Render real-world surface with architectural materials and extract entourage and enhance elevations and plans using Photoshop. |
| LO6 |
• Model development methodology: How project develop from templates, the complexity of components and controlling graphical display |
| LO7 |
• Create and manage drafting views ensuring that they are tied parametrically to sheets. |

Site Layout for Sustainable Development.
Investigate sustainable strategies using BIM, such as energy use,access to natural light, human health and productivity, water conservation and reduce the building carbon footprint. There are five key points to take into consideration to make your project more sustainable. Optimise site orientation, daylight and sun shading, building envelope, building mass, and the use of carbon-free resources such as sunlight, wind, and rain. |
