Abstract
European countries are developing or implementing policies that promote or require the use of information modelling in the architecture, engineering, construction and manufacture sectors. The integration of Building Information Modelling (BIM) to these sectors includes social, economic, political, legal and other aspects. This is why the implementation of BIM requires an integrated and broad approach that includes not only the BIM implementation and development strategy in designing companies but also in the field of education and professional training. The article discusses the potential of integrating BIM in different study programs and the possibilities of international cooperation in interdisciplinary BIM projects. The different levels of BIM will be explored in connection to different curricula. Particular attention is paid to the compatibility and applicability of design and innovative technology solutions using BIM methodology and the development of co-operation between higher education institutions in the Nordic region [1].
 The aim of this paper is to carry out a comparative analysis and present the integration model of Building Information Modeling (BIM) into the Architecture programmes in different study cycles based on the example of Nordic countries.
 Objectives:
 
 To provide BIM use opportunities in 3 years Bachelor level based on Engineeering architecture study programme of VIA University College;
 To provide BIM use opportunities in 5 years Integrated studies based on Architecture studies programme of Kaunas University of Technology;
 To provide BIM use opportunities in the 2 years Master of Science program in Sustainable Architecture at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology;
 To perform comparative analysis between different countries and different study cycles;
 To provide a possible model for integration of the international BIM project in different study cycles.
 
Highlights
Even some of the above are focused on digitization and technological processes: an ability to create architectural designs that meet both aesthetic and technical requirements; an understanding of the structural design, constructional and engineering problems associated with building design; adequate knowledge of the physical problems and technologies and the function of buildings so as to provide them with internal comfort and protection conditions against the climate; necessary design skills to meet building user requirements within the limits imposed by cost factors and building regulations; An adequate knowledge of the industries, organizations and procedures involved in translating design concepts into buildings and integrating plans into general planning
Building Information Modelling (BIM) implementation to the elective subjects based on software development
To the question „How do you understand what is BIM (Building Information Modelling)” 48 % of KTU students, 20 % VIA students and 28 % NTNU students answered that BIM is digital processing and simulation of geometric and physical data in a construction process and subsequent operational phase; that BIM is Process, which covers the whole life-cycle of the building answered 14 % of Student’s Opinion Survey About BIM
Summary
Architecture studies shall be balanced between the theoretical and practical aspects of architectural training and shall ensure the acquisition of: an ability to create architectural designs that satisfy both aesthetic and technical requirements; an adequate knowledge of the history and theories of architecture and the related arts, technologies and human sciences; a knowledge of the fine arts as an influence on the quality of architectural design; an adequate knowledge of urban design, planning and the skills involved in the planning process; an understanding of the relationship between people and buildings, and between buildings and their environment, and of the need to relate buildings and the spaces between them to human need and scale; an understanding of the profession of architecture and the role of the architect in society, in particular in preparing briefs that take account of social factors; an understanding of the methods of investigation and preparation of the brief for a design project; an understanding of the structural design, constructional and engineering problems associated with building design; an adequate knowledge of the physical problems and technologies and of the function of buildings so as to provide them with internal conditions of comfort and protection against the climate; the necessary design skills to meet building users requirements within the constraints imposed by cost factors and building regulations; an adequate knowledge of the industries, organisations and procedures involved in translating design concepts into buildings and integrating plans into overall planning [2]. 3th focus area for BIM implementation to the Architecture study programme based on praxis subjects, especially join project This multidisciplinary subject joins students with different specialities: architects, civil engineers, automatic engineers, urban engineers, building engineers and electrical engineers. Main aim of this subject: to provide a better understanding of the design process with BIM, learn to work in team and defend their professional interest in the project. “What skills should you gain during architectural studies that enables you to work on the BIM method?” respondents mentioned 3D models, quick estimate preparation; data sheets; ability to IwnoVrIkAwCitohlldeigffee,reDnet nsomftawrakre, ;thReevpitr,omgraeksinsgiosnchoefduBlIeMs uses through the Constructing Architect coursesseMmaejosrtietyrsrehsappopnedennstsviaans5wfeorceudstoartehaesf:inal open question, “In which semester should be integrated. 1A. rInchteitgercatutiroanl sttoudeylepcrtoivgerasmumbjeecptrso;gression of BIM uses going by 3 main focus areas:
