Through hands-on exercises in BIM data utilization—such as the creation and integration of architectural and structural models,
clash detection, quantity schedules, construction process simulation, and visual programming—participants will deepen their
understanding of BIM principles and acquire the foundational skills necessary to apply BIM in professional architectural practice.
Understand the concept and practical use of “information (attribute data),” which is the defining feature of BIM.
In the first half of the course, participants will read architectural and structural drawings and collaboratively develop a BIM model through CDE-based (Common Data Environment) workflows. In addition, they will learn methods for quantity takeoff, drawing production using attribute information, and coordination through model overlay.
In the second half, participants will study parametric modeling using a visual programming tool integrated with BIM software. In particular, hands-on exercises will focus on programming techniques that manipulate attribute information to generate and vary geometry.
The BIM software used in this course is Autodesk Revit 2025. All exercises will be conducted on participants’ own laptop computers.
Therefore, students are required to install the relevant software on their laptops in advance.

- The relationship between the design and structure, and between the framework and facility equipment (sanitary equipment and elevators) can be seen from the drawings.
- It is possible to obtain quantities and simulate processes using BIM models.
- It will be possible to use the cloud to carry out collaborative BIM input operations and implementation planning.
- Modeling can be done using visual programming.
- Be able to suggest ways to use BIM in construction production and maintenance operations.
