ARCH 488 - Computer Applications for Professional Practice
Prerequisites: ARCH 287 and completion of the Architecture Core program
The course is structured to explore new modes of contemporary practice, specifically Integrated Project Design/Delivery, and the role of B.I.M. (Building Information Modeling) as it pertains to design and decision-making in contemporary architectural practice. This course will explore the use of B.I.M. and related analytical tools to get immediate feedback on buildings systems and sustainability alternatives that can inform the design process. We will focus on developing proficiency in the use of B.I.M. software while at the same time looking at how this tool and related computer technologies are changing the way that information is generated and utilized within the practice environment. Collaborative Projects with other disciplines explore how information, including cost, scheduling and building material usage, is shared among the various parties involved in the design and construction process.
