The course provides knowledge of and skills to create concept models to enable more efficient, accurate, and detailed Building Information Models. Through streamlined workflows, candidates learn to use different software in combination and to transfer data from initial concepts to complex Building Information Models. Candidates are provided with skills to create Low-Fidelity concepts and develop High-Fidelity models. The course builds on competence from Project Management.
The aim of the course is to enable the development of constructions and simple models from concept design and reuse data when developing the final Building Information Model. Candidates must apply competence from previous courses and work systematically with guidance to complete his/her concept design.
The candidate:
- has knowledge of theories, processes and tools that are used in concept modelling for Building Information Modelling projects.
- has knowledge of processes that are used to transfer data from concept models to detailed Building Information Models.
- can assess his/her own concept models in relation to applicable project requirements.
- has insight into his/her own opportunities to use concept development tools.
The candidate:
- is familiar with relevant tools and techniques to create concept models optimised for Building Information Modelling projects.
- can reflect over his/her own concept modelling and adjust it under supervision.
- can explain his/her modelling and presentation choices in a building project.
- has insight on why concept models are an essential part of a Building Information Modelling project, and how they increase project efficiency.
The candidate:
- can plan and carry out concept modelling of digital buildings, alone or as part of a group.
- can plan and carry out data transfers to further develop concept models into detailed Building Information Models.
- can contribute to discussions about best practices and concept modelling workflows.
Digital Learning Resources
The learning management system (LMS) is the primary learning platform where students access most of their course materials. The content is presented in various formats, such as text, images, models, videos or podcasts. Each course follows a progression plan, designed to lead students through weekly modules at their own pace. Exercises and assignments (individual or in groups) are embedded throughout the courses to support continuous practice and assessment of the learning outcomes.
Campus Resources
In addition to the digital learning resources, campus students participate in physical learning activities led by teachers as part of the overall delivery.
Guidance
Guidance and feedback from teachers support students' learning journeys, and may be provided synchronously or asynchronously, individually or in groups, via text, video or in-person feedback.
