Description:
This intensive two-week training program is designed for architecture students with a foundational knowledge of Revit, aiming to build advanced competencies in Building Information Modeling (BIM). Through hands-on sessions, real-world architectural case studies, and collaborative exercises, participants will deepen their understanding of BIM workflows, automation through Dynamo, interdisciplinary collaboration using openBIM standards, and parametric design using adaptive components. The program integrates core software tools such as Autodesk Revit, Navisworks, and Dynamo, guiding students from BIM fundamentals through advanced design development techniques. Each session blends theory with practice, encouraging active participation through guided exercises and group projects.
