Anotation:

The course is focused on basic knowledge in the field of building information modeling (BIM) in theoretical and practical areas, usable across various construction industry specializations and fields. Students will be acquainted not only with the basic knowledge of BIM (on the theoretical and practical level), data formats, IT systems typical for the building industry, but also with the context of BIM in the current construction industry in relation to the whole project life cycle and its specifics (delivery, expert focus, construction projects phases, etc.) Theoretical knowledge is complemented by practical exercises aimed at mastering and understanding the basic principles of object-oriented parametric modeling.
