Abstract
The paper presents the results of two last years research in digital education computing using object-oriented building modeling methods including parametric modeling, component-based design approaching to the concept of building information modeling (BIM) as a base concept of contemporary architectural digital design. This paper summarizes results of research in BIM application in architectural design, attempts to determine the problems, capture the trends of object-oriented modeling in computer aided architectural design (CAAD) education. The results of the analysis of various aspects of BIM using surveys of architecture postgraduate students and undergraduate students of the last year are discussed. The methods of statistics for analysis of data are used. The interrelations between various factors of building information modeling as a part of CAAD education are investigated. The results of the work could be important for the definition of the guidelines for the future of architectural digital design education. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5755/j01.sace.1.2.3281
Highlights
There is a lot of debate referring to the building information modeling problem that is defined by the acronym “BIM”
Some important questions remain: why the process of the adoption and use of BIM in the designing and construction practice is slow despite the fact that the appropriate software is available and the subject is taught in universities and architectural schools for rather long period? What is the relation between education background and BIM progress? Our assumption is that the reasons are determined in the academic area
It includes the experience of teaching of the CAAD subject based on object-oriented building modeling which is the base of the BIM
Summary
There is a lot of debate referring to the building information modeling problem that is defined by the acronym “BIM”. The importance of BIM for the architecture and building in the phases of formation of conception, design, construction and maintenance was discussed in the papers (Garba et al 2004, Ibrahim 2006, Cinelis 2010, Cinelis 2011). Some important questions remain: why the process of the adoption and use of BIM in the designing and construction practice is slow despite the fact that the appropriate software is available and the subject is taught in universities and architectural schools for rather long period? The paper includes the results of the research and experiment conducted purposefully for two recent years at university. It includes the experience of teaching of the CAAD subject based on object-oriented building modeling which is the base of the BIM. The results of the work could help positively influence and redefine the content and attitudes in CAAD subjects where BIM methods are used
