BIM-technologies and digital modeling in educational architectural design

Abstract

The article analyzes the results of the implementation of numerical methods of architectural form finding in educational design in the second year of study developed at the design department of KSUAE as part of the undergraduate course. The original method of form finding is a combination of tabular methods for setting the geometric parameters of architectural forms in Revit Architecture and visual programming tools such Grasshopper and Dynamo. This experiment in the field of “design of the architectural environment” (DAS) with extensive use of BIM-technologies and digital modeling in the educational process, has been conducted for more than 3 years and gives positive results, the main of which is the intensification of the educational process and the variability of complex geometric shapes based on the use of advanced numerical methods. According to this approach, the entire course consists of 4 stages, which students consistently perform during the second year of study, work on one architectural topic, which covers four coursework projects: “Composite design of an architectural form” (structural “skeleton”), “Design of an architectural facade” (“architectural skin”), “Design of the internal space “(interior), “Design of the external space” (exterior). They represent four parts of one general topic, each of which should demonstrate the influence of different subsystems of the structure on the overall volumetric and planning solution. In the process of work at each stage (course project), there is a constant resolution of the contradictions that arise during the design process between the various subsystems by regenerating the general architectural model as part of the Revit Architecture parametric modeling program, which plays an important role in the formation of students’ professional skills.

Methodology for creating a residential three-rayed space-planning structure

“…The extreme module implies that a resident on one side of the yard can see and remember the face of a person on the opposite side of the yard. The need to create modules during the process of teaching students BIM technologies in the design of architectural structures and grid spaces is also expressed by domestic scientists [17].…”

“…Three methods of architectural kinetics of combinatorial blocks are empirically determined: rotational (15), mirror (16), and mirror-rotational (17). We draw your attention to the fact that the apparent simplicity of a single rotation of any combinatorial block by a degree in azimuth will not lead to an exact binding of its coordinate axes to the axes of the other combinatorial blocks.…”

Employing the Bim-Based Approach to Analyze and Improve the Quality of Detail Construction Cost Estimation According to NRM 2 and Smpi

“…When this happens, all types of objects that exist in the built model will respond to the hierarchy that governs the data in the created model. Thus, all objects built using Revit software, specific or views are built by the same logic and elemental hierarchy (Mikhailov et al, 2020).…”

“…El uso de equipos y herramientas informáticas (Mikhailov et al, 2020), en el proceso de diseño, ha cambiado rotundamente desde su aparición repercutiendo en los procesos de diseño arquitectónico (Deumal & Montserrat, 2016), lo que le permite al arquitecto o alumno (Hajirasouli, 2022), (Sanchez-Sepulveda et al, 2019), plantear proyectos sumamente innovadores (Iglesias, 2016), que han demandado incluso modificación en las estructuras curriculares (Perez Gama et al, 2018), de las carreras de arquitectura, acordes con las tendencias del mundo globalizado (Guzmán & Calderón, 2018), siendo las competencias digitales (Martí et al, 2017) EVSOS. 2023, VOL.…”
