Introduction to Building Information Modeling (BIM)

Overall Course Objectives

The purpose of the course is to build a basic understanding of processing and digital visual communication of information during the building design process. Civil engineering centred introduction to communication through sketching, modeling and using digital tools. That the participants develop their spatial perception of buildings and gain an understanding of the visual dialogue between key parties in building projects. The course introduces essential analogue and digital working methods and builds a basic understanding of Building Information Modeling (BIM).

Learning Objectives

  • Accumulate knowledge independently and in groups
  • Arrange and execute simple project assignments
  • Apply analog techniques (hand sketching, and possibly model building) to produce early design stage building concepts
  • Apply digital tools for application in a smaller building project
  • Apply basic methods for application of documents and drawings
  • Convert model representations in 3D to 2D and vice versa
  • Apply building models to exchange digital information
  • Apply basic BIM concepts, BIM techniques and BIM classifications

Course Content

The course introduces the drawing material and the model basis as a prerequisite for communication. During the course, analog and digital aids are used to present the idea and function of buildings. With practical examples, problem-solving techniques and the use of various digital tools are practiced. The course introduces a systematic naming and classification of objects, including the use of industry-specific systems, e.g., BIM7AA and CCS. The Building Information Modeling (BIM) concept is included as a central element, where topics cover layer structures, objects, types, and best practices for the production of model-linked drawing material. We work with principal solutions and digital tools for drawing production and building modeling to create a basis for documentation, data extraction/part lists, simulation, and project presentation. During the course, group and individual tasks are carried out.
