Design Computing I - BIM
who teaches
Description
BIM (Building Information Modeling and the process of managing information about buildings) is a contemporary method of designing, constructing, and managing buildings that uses digital models and collaboration between all parties involved throughout the entire life cycle of a building. The course deals with the concept (digital representation of the physical and functional properties of a building), basic principles, tools, applications, platforms, and context of this method (Czech, European, and global) from both a theoretical and practical perspective in the fields of architecture, engineering, and construction. Students will learn about the advantages and challenges of BIM in various phases of the building life cycle and the possibilities of integrating BIM with other technologies such as GIS, IoT, VR/AR, parametric design, and artificial intelligence. Students will try working with BIM software and solve individual architectural design tasks based on prepared digital building models. The aim of the course is to develop students' skills and competencies in using BIM for architectural design and analysis, including project management. The course thus contributes to students' knowledge of the advantages and effective use of BIM in architectural practice, including the context of an integrated approach to building design with the aim of designing highly efficient and sustainable buildings.
