Description
BUILDING EMPATHY
OR, REVIT: HOW TO PLAY NICELY WITH OTHERS
A practical application of Revit looking beyond architecture. This class will look at 3D modeling and design holistically as it exists in a shared environment. Using a baseline project to start, students will learn how the manipulation of data can produce discrete design options. Collectively, we will observe multidisciplinary workflows, consider other perspectives or possibilities across all disciplines (SMEP, façades, lighting, acoustics, etc.), and investigate what it's like to design with empathy. We will cover principles of Building Information Modeling (BIM), methods of data extraction and analysis, and theories behind systems thinking and emotional intelligence as they pertain to the built environment. This course will simulate what it is like to work collaboratively in a shared space, delve into project setup and BIM management of a project according to industry standards, and develop a multidisciplinary point of v
