Building Design

Code

CE-BDE1

Version

3.0

Offered by

Civil Engineering

ECTS

Prerequisites

Qualifying exam for the Civil Engineering study program.

Main purpose

The aim of the course is for the student to obtain knowledge on general guidelines and strategies for design, and ability to decide design solutions and material on a level up to and including preliminary projects, also taking into account structural and energy issues and maintenance.
The course will introduce students to 3D modeling and use of BIM.

The course consists of two main element: Building Design (BDE) and Building Information Modeling (BIM)

Knowledge

After completion of the course, the student must have knowledge about:

BDE:
- Describe common building terminology
- Identify and outline typical of building materials and structures
- Explain and design common building constructions
- Explain and understand project phases
- Design Methodology

BIM:
- Describe the concept of BIM processes and advantages/challenges
- Identify basic principles for modelling with 3D softwares and methods for composition of 3D building models in compliance with existing common principals from e.g. Det digitale Byggeri (Digital Building) and BIPS

Skills

After completion of the course, the student must be able to:

Building design:
- Apply the regulations of the Planning Law for national, regional and municipal planning.
- Work in accordance with current regulations for projecting and building legislation
- Design and demonstrate relevant choice of materials and construction for the building envelope and static structure.
- Perform field work with measurement and registration of building components

Building Information Modelling (BIM):
- Apply 3D tools in the planning of a project.
- Implement BIM methods, allowing extract of data for further processing and analysis in associated programmes
- Plan and execute drawings, belonging to the relevant phases in the execution of a project.

Competences

BDE + BIM:

The course substance is used in the term project, which will give the student an exercise in applying the theory in a context that ensures understanding of how a project material is constructed and designed:
- Understand the complexity of design solutions.
- Be able to choose, plan and control a project's technical solutions appropriately.
