Module Description: |
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 live callout detail views. • To dress up basic elevations and plans using Revit and photoshop and extract entourage objects from photographs. • To familiarize students with all aspects of information technology relating to architectural technology and the architectural practice.
