26365 - AFPG - Lab-based Course of Parametric Aided Design

Academic Year 2013/2014

  • Teaching Mode: Traditional lectures
  • Campus: Cesena
  • Corso: Single cycle degree programme (LMCU) in Architecture (cod. 0881)

Learning outcomes

The course aims to provide the tools of knowledge of digital technology in order to use the computer as a tool for architectural design complete. Particular attention will be devoted to the use of the potential of this tool as a function of the creative process and management system of information and data that characterize the project. Switch from design, development, representation, until the construction site of the project without having to implement a process of reductive simplification in the execution phase, this is not one of the objectives of the secondary course.

Course contents

BIM software is an innovative method that acts as a bridge between different responsibilities: architecture, engineering and construction industry. Thanks to BIM, architects and engineers can create and efficiently generate and exchange information, create digital presentations of all phases of the construction process. The software allows you to manage and develop all the stages that characterize a project: from the initial conception of the project to the development of the various levels of detail, from the presentation and communication to the collection and production of project documentation. The use of BIM is a tool which allows you to switch from design, development, representation, until the construction site of the project without having to implement a process of reductive simplification in the execution phase. The course will be based on the use of Autodesk Revit Architecture software and will be played by the alternation of teroriche frontalli sessions and practical sessions in which to capitalize on the operational learned. These practical sessions will be used as verification of acquired skills and so further calibrate the information needs of the learners. During the course, the practical activities will be aimed at modeling (from preliminary preparation to the ability to render photo-realistic) of real buildings and renowned that will be announced in the days before the beginning of the course.

Teaching methods

The course will be held by the alternation of teroriche frontalli sessions and practical sessions in which to capitalize on the operational learned. These practical sessions will be used as verification of acquired skills and so further calibrate the information needs of the learners.
During the course, the practical activities will be aimed at modeling (from preliminary preparation to the ability to render photo-realistic) of real buildings and renowned that will be announced in the days before the beginning of the course.
The meetings will take 8 hours and will take place throughout the day.

Assessment methods

During the course, will be proposed exercises that will be subjected to final assessment.

Teaching tools

The course will focus on the development of an architectural project using the platform Autodesk Revit ® Architecture. From a project already defined, the course will address the various issues related to its development in key executive implementing a continuous exchange of information and interoperability between software and operators.
