In recent years BIM (Building Information Modeling) has been heralded as the wave of the future but it has not been fully integrated into the practice of Architecture. New and complex ways of doing things are often better tested with a tight knit team working on a small scale project before the methods can be scaled up to large projects They key to BIM is not just the integration of the project in a smart model but the integration of the team. This semester you will have the opportunity to test and hone both your computer skills and your team building skills. You will be required to work as a group of competing team to think out how best to progress through the design and development and construction of a project.

This design course will cover a range of urban and architectural design issues. Students will explore both the theoretical and pragmatic aspects of design applied in an urban environment. As an advanced design class, this course will incorporate previous studio and lecture coursework to tie together topics of urban planning, architectural design, environmental sustainability and historic preservation.
