Poster [x]

Building Information Modeling (BIM), or so-called BIM software, plays a central role in the ongoing digitization of the construction industry.

The “digital twins” created with these programs, i.e. a 3D building model enriched with as much information as possible about all aspects of a project, promises improved possibilities in all project phases, from preliminary planning through execution to management after completion: better collaboration in the design phase thanks to a shared model, better possibilities for simulating and optimizing building properties such as energy efficiency or CO2 balance, better avoidance of planning errors, better cost effectiveness, sustainability, etc.

In practice, architectural firms usually experience the promises of BIM programs as being less grand than in the advertising brochures of the BIM software manufacturers. This in-depth module introduces the current state of the art, especially in the field of parametric design and simulation technology, but also critically addresses problematic aspects of BIM. Projects serve as application examples, which can be used to explore certain possibilities of BIM, especially with regard to architectural design: an Architecture Information Modeling (AIM)

After successful completion of the course, students have an in-depth theoretical and practical understanding of the possibilities of Building Information Modeling and its importance for architectural design. They have gained experience in parametric design and are able to plan BIM projects.
