BUILDING INFORMATION MODELING / REPRESENTATION

ARC 327R / ARC 386M / LAR 388
Engineering students welcome to email instructor for permission to enroll
Instructor: Marla Smith

 

In this class you will explore the creation, iteration, representation, and visualization of Building Information Models with the option of utilizing various software platforms and representation methods including Revit, Dynamo, Lumion, Lapentor, Video Editing and digital presentation tools. You will have the option to represent your project through digital presentations including rendering, panoramas, video, and virtual reality walk through. The class will use various modeling and presentations programs with a focus on BIM Modeling in Revit and representation through Lumion. Note: If you already have Enscape3D you may use it in place of Lumion.

Week 1&2: Introduction to BIM Modeling techniques using Revit. We will be covering importing, linking, site creation, system families, and best modeling practices. This model will be the base for further explorations. We will be using Lumion to evaluate the project as well as produce renderings and panoramas while utilizing various presentation modes.

Week 3: Continue to develop model, form and components. Optional: Dynamo. You may also choose use a different project or subject matter for the following two weeks.

Week 4: Final iteration/development of models, graphs, and presentation techniques. Digital presentation strategy should be finalized during this week. Optional: Video Creation Editing

Week 5: Production and evaluation of final presentations.

You should have a laptop capable of running at the minimum Revit and if possible Lumion. Google Cardboard or similar for Panorama viewing.
