The course's main objective is to provide the cultural, critical, and operational tools necessary to introduce students to the theme of BIM (Building Information Modeling) applied to the design, construction management, and maintenance of buildings.
Based on the most up-to-date research and international case studies, the theoretical treatment will be combined with application activities to develop students' ability to use BIM critically and consciously. This will start from the essential concept of interoperability between software for optimal information management, applicable to different disciplines effectively and efficiently.
To achieve the aims, students are introduced to the operational tools necessary for parametric modeling applied to different representation scales congruently to the different phases of design: conscious use of LOGs (Level of Geometry) and LOIs (Level of Information) will allow the student to deal with national legislation and directives, as well as international guidelines and standards.
The class is divided into groups to develop the BIM models of an existing building of their choice.
