DESIGNING WORKFLOWSIf architects can re-prioriti ze authorship of processes over authorships of things, we can reassemble creati on and executi on, and re-synthesize form and functi on. We will regain liability, but harvest control and we will be able to happily navigate from concept to generati on, through politi cs, value-engineering, and procurement strategies, to punch lists and opening parti es. We will harbor less self-pity, make more money, and construct bett er architecture. Joshua Prince-Ramus, 2010

2. What are the diff erences between computer aided draft ing methods and building informati on methods?

3. How has the increase in data associated with BIM aff ected the link between design and building?

COURSE DESCRIPTION

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Digital technology conti nues to transform the manner in which architects design, communicate, collaborateand are educated today. Building Informati on Technologies and Modeling (BIM) are collaborati ve methods that integrate digital tools as a means to consolidate and create a shared network of data within design and building processes. The integrati on of digital technologies are fundamental in order to establish producti ve workfl ows that help advance relati onships within the Architecture, Engineering and Constructi on (AEC) industry. Through this course students will become familiar with the conceptual framework and practi cal applicati on of some of the leading digital tools used in BIT and BIM.

1. Understand the integrati on of digital tools within design and building processes.

2. Describe the implicati ons and workfl ow of BIM projects.

3. Demonstrate clear visual communicati on techniques through technical documentati on.

4. Demonstrate rigorous research methods through documentati on of comprehensive design processes.

5. Assess the role of producti ve workfl ows as means of collaborati on within diff erent disciplines.

METHODS OF ASSESSMENT

GRADING CRITERIA One of the fundamental issues addressed in this course is the development of producti ve workfl ows. Establishing individual and collecti ve workfl ows are key pieces of demonstrati ng responsibility and meeti ng course expectati ons. As a result, NO extra credit, make-ups, or late submissions will be accepted in this course. If a student cannot submit their work on the specifi ed due date, they should coordinate with their instructor in order to submit their work at an earlier date or have a classmate hand in their work.

10 pts = Punctuality, att endance, and class parti cipati on 15 pts = Weekly reading responses 25 pts = Research Project: Part 1 10 pts = Mid-Term Exam25 pts = Research Project: Part 215 pts = Final Exam

100 TOTAL POINTS

A = 92 - 100, Excepti onal performance; strongly exceeding the requirements of the course, showing strong academic initi ati ve and independent resourcefulness.

B = 85 - 91, Performance above the norm; accurate, complete, and beyond the minimum requirements of the course; work demonstrates marked progress and initi ati ve.

C = 76 - 84 (Minimum grade required for professional degree credit)Sati sfactory/adequate work; adequately meets minimum requirements and demonstrates sati sfactory comprehension, communicati on skills, and eff ort; demonstrates litt le initi ati ve to investi gate the problem without substanti al prodding of the instructor; work shows litt le improvement.

D = 68 - 75, Unsati sfactory/ inferior work; unsati sfactorily meets minimum requirements and demonstrates minimum comprehension, communicati on skills, and eff ort, at an inferior level; initi ati ve lacking; improvement not noti ceable.

F = 00 - 67, Does not meet minimum requirements; fails to adequately demonstrate comprehension or communicati on skills. No pluses or minuses will be given in this course.

All work done in this class will combine concise criti cal writi ng with visualizati on techniques (drawings, diagrams, models, images, etc) and verbal presentati ons. The objecti ve of the assignments will be to demonstrate a clear and intelligent understanding of the relati onships between informati on and graphic visualizati on. These objecti ves will be evaluated through weekly reading responses, a two part research project, a visual essay midterm exam, and class discussions.

The semester will be divided into three categories: EXPLORATION, INTEGRATION, EXECUTION. Each secti on of the course will address the development of design and building workfl ows within the framework of building informati on technologies.

1. EXPLORATION will engage the role and use of digital technologies within the design process across a variety of architectural practi ces and projects. This secti on of the course will provide the fi rst method through which to analyze the impact of creati ng sophisti cated and intelligent workfl ows across multi ple scales.

2. INTEGRATION will examine the scope of collaborati on and implicati ons resulti ng from design explorati ons. This secti on will provide a framework through which to understand the integrati on of multi -disciplinary teams within the design and building industry.

3. EXECUTION will focus on the ability to document and execute the complexiti es engaged through design explorati on and integrati on into an intelligent comprehensive building process.

Class ti me throughout the semester will be divided as follows:

A. LECTURES / DISCUSSIONS will provide the framework for understanding the implicati ons of workfl ow through which to evaluate and criti cally engage issues surrounding the use of digital technologies as part of the design and building process. Students will be expected to acti vely parti cipate in class discussions and provide criti cal insight in regards to the informati on presented.

B. TECHNICAL PRESENTATIONS will expand on the ideas presented in lectures by showcasing the applicati on of digital tools through the introducti on of various soft ware used as part of BIT and BIM. The primary soft ware explored in this course will be Autodesk Revit 2014. Below is a preliminary list of digital tools which will be discussed in this course.Autodesk: Revit, Vault, Navisworks, Vasari, Ecotect, Autocad, 3DS Max, 360 Cloud Rhinoceros: Grasshopper, Paneling Tools, Diva / Digital Project & CATIA / Bentley / Tekla / Microsoft Excel

C. COLLABORATION SESSIONS will consist of discussions about readings as well as preparati on for student research projects and presentati ons. Collaborati on sessions will be held at presentati on space in Depuy.

EINSTEIN’S RIDDLE

The Situati on1. There are 5 houses in fi ve diff erent colors.2. In each house lives a person with a diff erent nati onality.3. These fi ve owners drink a certain type of beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigar and keep a certain pet.4. No owners have the same pet, smoke the same brand of cigar or drink the same beverage.

The questi on is: Who owns the fi sh?

Hints

• the Brit lives in the red house• the Swede keeps dogs as pets• the Dane drinks tea• the green house is on the left of the white house• the green house’s owner drinks coff ee• the person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds• the owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill• the man living in the center house drinks milk• the Norwegian lives in the fi rst house• the man who smokes blends lives next to the one who keeps cats• the man who keeps horses lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill• the owner who smokes BlueMaster drinks beer• the German smokes Prince• the Norwegian lives next to the blue house• the man who smokes blend has a neighbor who drinks water
