Focus Area#
This course has been designed so that the emphasis is on learning FROM BIM (McGinley & Krijnen, 2021). We learn better studying things that interest us. What is your building engineering knowledge focus area?
Architecture / Fire evacuation / Acoustics
Indoor & Energy / Acoustic / Daylight
Structure inc. Structural Fire Safety
Materials / LCA / Materials / Sustainability Assessment
Build / Cost / Buildability / Permits
Omrany, et. al, (2023) provide an excellent overview on the literature for 7 themes of BIM use in the early design stages of tall buildings. In this course we have reduced this to 6 focus areas above that represent the areas of interest from previous versions of the course. They also link to subjects in Advanced Building Design and hopefully reflect areas of interest that you have for your specialisation tracks / study lines and or thesis subjects.
