Building Information Modelling and Computer Aided Drawing 2

Description

This module will build on the skills and competencies Architectural Technology students have acquired in the Building Information Modelling & Computer Aided Drawing 1 module. Students will further develop their abilities to create construction documentation while also improving their 2D technical detailing abilities using AutoCAD and 3D modelling skills using the BIM authoring tool, Autodesk Revit.

Learning Outcomes

  1. Generate domestic and commercial building drawings and documentation, from sketch design through to general arrangement and detail design solutions, in both 2D and 3D using CAD and BIM authoring tools

  2. Demonstrate an ability to draft and detail using correct conventions and industry standards

  3. Demonstrate an awareness of the power of contemporary hardware and software as applied to design, detailing and BIM

  4. Develop an understanding of what is represented graphically and take what information is needed from the drawing

  5. Produce basic photorealistic renders based off their BIM models
