Description
AS3041 | Advanced Construction and Project Delivery (Construction Documents)*
The course focuses on advanced methods of project delivery and construction documents incorporating digital technologies and investigating new models for linking design and construction processes. It introduces Building Information Modeling as one of the tools for realignment of the traditional relationships between the project stakeholders. By designing and simultaneously documenting a medium size mixed-use building, located in Los Angeles, students will develop the architecture by creating a detailed 3D digital model and a set of 2D construction documents specifically tailored for the challenges of this project. Lectures on advanced project delivery of actual innovative buildings will further inform students of technical documentation methods for projects that are operating on the forefront of design and construction technologies to date.
