ARPL 421 Digital Construction Docs
Architects and engineers document their designs so that everyone involved can come to agreement on what is to be built before construction starts. The traditional blueprints and specifications that served this purpose for decades have evolved into digital Building Information Models (BIMs). In this course, students will learn to plan, produce, and manage BIMs, and produce one of limited scope. Students will be expected to start the course already able to create 3D models using BIM-compatible software (Rhino, Revit, or other if approved by teacher).
