Learning objectives
Knowledge and ability to understand
The course aims to provide knowledge of the tools and procedures for the graphic representation of the executive project through BIM software. An adequate use of the parametric architectural elements proposed by these modellers allows to create, in fact, in addition to three-dimensional models from which to obtain the usual axonometric, perspective and section views, some works useful for the management of the project, such as lists of construction elements for the purposes of calculating materials and cost estimates.
Skills
The BIM software is an innovative method that expands the design skills, allowing to create efficient models of buildings, useful to manage and develop all the phases that characterize the project: from the design phases to the development of the various levels of depth.
In fact, the use of a tool such as BIM makes it possible to move from the conception, development, representation and construction of the project without having to implement a process of reductive simplification in the executive phase.
Autonomy of judgement
Upon passing the exam, the student must have developed the ability to critically evaluate which tools, techniques and codes of representation are the most suitable in the graphic rendering of the executive architectural design, made from a BIM modeller.
Communication skills
Students will develop the ability to describe and communicate at various scales the place, the architectural space and their components, through the application of the knowledge of representation techniques inherent to the new advanced digital instrumentation of drawing in BIM environment.
Learning skills
The exercises assigned, expressed in the final works requested, are aimed at consolidating the student in the correct use of representation methods and in the use of the most advanced digital drawing programs in the BIM environment; at the end of the lessons and exercises the student should have acquired the knowledge and skills of the discipline in order to face an in-depth study and autonomous application of these aspects.

Course unit content
The first module of the Building Design course, is borrowed from the Digital Architecture Modeling module (4 CFU) in which the potential of some parametric graphic software dedicated to architecture (BIM), such as AllPlan, ArchiCad and Revit, is explored and analyzes the codes and graphic conventions to be used with these tools in the representation of the executive project.
In particular, the course aims to train students on the wide and growing panorama of BIM modeling tools, providing the lexicon of this new form of representation and the methods that underlie the integrated design related to it. It will also give indications on how models must be prepared so that there is the possibility to correctly exchange graphic data and information with other specific applications.
The course includes a series of theory lessons useful in putting into practice immediately what is illustrated as concept and indication.
Topics:
- creation and organization of a project
- setting standard levels
- creation of pillars, walls, attics, stairs, roofs, with attribution of materials
- solid modeling and non-parametric 3d design
- elaboration of two-dimensional graphs (plans, sections and elevations)
- listing
- rendering and saving images

Teaching methods
The course will take place in the classroom through frontal lessons during which the general problems related to the representation of architecture will be discussed, through the projection of presentations and through accurate revisions of the papers.
Assessment methods and criteria
During the course there will be an intermediate verification, on a date to be defined, with the presentation of a BIM model made with BIM software of your choice on the architecture agreed with the student at the beginning of the year.
The final verification of the learning of the topics dealt with in the course consists in the discussion of the topics dealt with during the lessons and in the evaluation of the final graphic works produced by the student.
The student will also have to demonstrate, through the exam interview, to have learned BIM (Building Information Modeling) concepts at a general level and to know how to correctly model an architectural building at a definitive level with the BIM platforms used in the course.
The evaluation of the tables will be expressed in relation to the completeness, clarity and originality of the contents.
