BUILDING INFORMATION MODELLING
(BLD62403/ARC3633)
After completing this project, I am able to access and build up databases to produce a simple BIM model and architectural details complete with integrated information of materials; and their manipulation to have quick options in a given situation. I have also succesfully used BIM as a design tool to create 3 dimensional models to analyze the aesthetics and technical requirement.
Introduction
This involves the study of the current applications of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in Architecture, Engineering & Construction (AEC). This project intends to expose students to the various current applications in the AEC industries, through an in-depth review of the literatures. The findings are presented in the form of an infographic.
Objective of Project
Understand the applications and research of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in Architecture, Engineering & Construction (AEC).
Learning Outcomes of this Project
To apply understanding of Building Information Modeling and its relevance to the changing profession and demonstrate integration of information learned in particular building technologies and building sciences.
Tasks - Methodology
1. You are to identify ONE specific area from the following and conduct a literature review based on case studies of application/research in BIM.
- Project Management
- Digital Heritage & Conservation
- Energy Analysis
- Risk Assessment
- Geographical Information System (GIS)
- Virtual Prototyping
2. You are to present your findings in the form of an infographic with the following contents:
- Concepts and framework of how BIM is applied in the selected field.
- Highlights of features of BIM that contributes to the applications.
- One example of case study that applied the concepts and framework of the above.
3. Your infographic must include a complete reference listadhering to APA style referencing format.

Introduction
The second project involves the production of Revit model of the selected architecture design using Architectural Components such as Wall, Roof, Stairs, Floor, Curtain Wall, Doors and Windows.
Objectives of Project
Understand and apply Revit Architecture’s modeling tools to generate a building model.
Tasks - Methodology
1. Based on the selected architectural design, you are to generate a Revit model. The model must be compliant with LOD200 requirements.
2. Your Revit model must include at least TWO Revit Family components.
3. You are required to create a blog or Facebook album for public access. The Work in Progress (WIP) print screens and test renderings must be
uploaded to the above online platform REGULARLY to show progressive evidence of the working process. It will serve as a communication and mutual
learning platform. You are encouraged to visit your peers’ WIP and give constructive comments and suggestions.

Project 2b : Building Modelling
Introduction
This project involves the production of building documentation drawings from the Revit model created in Project 2a, using Revit’s Documentation Components such as Sheets, Titleblock, Sections, Room Tags, Schedule and Phasing.
Objectives of Project
To prepare building documentation drawings, continuing from Project2
Tasks - Methodology
1. Using the Revit model from Project 2, you are required to prepare building documentation drawings in A1 size containing the following components:
• Plans
• Elevations
• 2 Sections
• 2 Callouts on sections
• 1 Exploded isometric
• Phasing (existing, demolished, new)
• 1 Room Schedule showing area tabulation
• Perspective line renderings *(2 exteriors + 2 interiors)
2. Your Revit model must comply with LOD 200 requirements (refer Appendix 1).
3. The Work in Progress (WIP) must be uploaded to the mentioned online platform to show progressive evidence of the working process. It will serve as
a communication and mutual learning platform. You are encouraged to visit your peers’ WIP and give constructive comments and suggestions.
