ARCH 270 - BIM and Parametric Design

An introduction to the fundamentals of computational and parametric design within a BIM environment. The potential for data driven BIM models to aid the architectural design process is examined with emphasis placed on self-directed exploration of advanced parametric and computational tools. Working within Revit generated BIM models, generative scripting, computational methods, and basic parametric tools are used to develop architectural solutions informed by environmental data, performance criteria, code requirements, and/or other contextual factors. Graphical Scripting Interfaces and their ability to generate parametric and computationally derived forms are also introduced. Typically Offered Spring Only
