Meaningful maps are based on a solid foundation of information. But what does this look like? Data formats such as CSV, JSON or GeoPackage help to store information in a structured way, but how is it best processed? OpenStreetMap offers a wealth of geoinformation, but how can this information be acc...
Life cycle assessment (LCA) tools are important instruments in architecture and the built environment for estimating, optimising and reducing the negative environmental impact of construction. So far, such analyses have not been used to their full potential. There are various reasons for this, such...
"littleBim" and BIG.BIM are established technical terms that characterize different variants of Building Information Modeling. While littleBIM is exclusively aimed at using a common data model within a planning team (e.g. within an architectural office), BIG.BIM refers to interdisciplinary methods t...
The goals of this class are to introduce students to underlying technical concepts of Building Information Modelling. It addresses students who want to conduct their own research-oriented design and development including software-prototypes such as scripts, plugins and services in research projects....
In DC.littlebim, basic concepts, methods and techniques of digital support for planning and designing the built environment are taught.
"Building Information Modeling (BIM) is based on the idea of a consistent use of a digital building model throughout the entire life cycle of a building - from...
In this subject, students work independently on a topic from the field of architectural informatics. Below is an ( non-exhaustive) list of possible topics that can be studied:
- Continuous transitions between Life-Cycle stages in Design, Planning and Construction
- Knowledge Organisation in Desi...
The course teaches smart and efficient methods to exploit the advantages of BIM in various work processes and to simplify processes. Using ArchiCAD as an example, we will show you the way to a faster workflow in four blocks. At the beginning of the course, we will deal with in-depth possibilities of...
Current research topics from the field of architectural construction and urban informatics are investigated in the form of individual scientific projects.
The class spans two terms where:
-
During Term 1:
- Research Planning: Determine the scope of the project, formulate the research ques...
