Course Content
In this course, students will be introduced to the fundamentals of architectural detailing, professional architectural drafting, and implementation of Building Information Modeling (BIM). This course provides the theory, techniques, methodologies, and tools for architectural detailing; the knowledge of orthogonal architectural representation for on-site construction, the advantages and disadvantages of different affroaches to architectural representation.
Course Learning Outcomes
By the end of the course, the successful students are expected to:
- explain the requirements of each orthogonal architectural drawing for on-site construction,
- analyze the requirements of a given situation and solve architectural detailing problems creatively,
- represent their choice of detailing solution through a series of orthogonal and three dimensional drawings,
- defend their choice of detailing solution by matching the requirements and their set of materials and the composition in the given location,
- describe what BIM is and why it is relevant for the future of construction sector,
- describe the advantages and disadvantages of using BIM in a construction project.
