The course provides knowledge of planning processes and skills to develop architectural 3D modelling of residential and commercial buildings. Candidates are provided further skills with modelling tools for 3D modelling in commercial projects, prefabricated elements and implementation of geospatial topology and coordinates. The course explores commercial building processes and the different phases of a building project. The course builds on competence from 3D Architectural.
The course provides competence of advanced modelling techniques used in architectural 3D modelling. This includes skills to model structural elements, implement geospatial topology and coordinates, as well as tools and processes used to dimension and annotate technical drawings.
The candidate:
- has knowledge of relevant tools and processes used for sharing files across software.
- has knowledge of digital building models and processes that are used in Building Information Modelling.
- has knowledge of modelling tools and processes that are used for parametric object-based modelling and the relationship between defined objects.
- has knowledge of tools and processes that are used for sheets complete with dimensions and annotations.
- has insight into relevant standards, regulations and quality requirements used for digital buildings.
- has a knowledge of commercial building processes and is familiar with the different phases of a building project.
- can update his/her knowledge of tools and processes to streamline workflows in architectural 3D modelling.
The candidate:
- can apply knowledge of processes and phases in commercial building projects.
- can apply knowledge of tools and techniques to plan and execute architectural 3D modelling.
- master’s tools to create prefabricated elements and calculate the estimated amount of building components.
- master’s relevant tools and processes to create parametric object-based architectural models.
- master’s relevant tools and techniques to model structural elements.
- master’s techniques to implement geospatial topology and coordinates.
- master's professional tools and techniques for sharing files in collaboration with peers and/or external partners across disciplines.
- can find information and material that is relevant to standards, tolerances, dimensions and annotations.
The candidate:
- understands the principles and guidelines that apply to architectural models and geospatial topology.
- can carry out planning and development of digital buildings and technical documentation in accordance with relevant requirements and specifications.
- can build relations with his/her peers and external suppliers within Building Information Modelling.
- can develop complex architectural 3D models.
- can develop projects with necessary documentation and model files.
In this course, the following teaching and learning methods can be applied, but are not limited to:
- Lecture: Educator-led presentations or activities providing knowledge, skills, or general competencies in the subject area.
- Group work: Collaborative activities where students work together to solve problems or complete tasks.
- Tutoring: One-on-one or small group sessions with an instructor for personalized guidance and support.
- Student presentations: Opportunities for students to demonstrate their understanding of course material by presenting to peers.
- Online lessons: Digital content delivered via an online learning platform.
- Guidance: Individualized advice and direction from instructors to support students in their learning journey.
- Workshops: Practical sessions focused on hands-on application of theoretical concepts or skills.
- Self-study: Independent study where students engage with course material on their own without any teacher support.
Teaching materials, reading lists, and essential resources will be shared in the learning platform and software user manuals where applicable.
