Description
Summary:An increase in the size of projects, ambitious design objectives, and a greater number of participants in the planning process, call for an effective integrated planning practice, and an adequate software support, such as the BIM (Building Information Modelling) tools. However, the BIM skills as demanded by practice are not represented in lecturing plans and programs at technical universities. This paper presents the interdisciplinary BIM design course conducted at the Vienna University of Technology. The feedback received from students has proven to be beneficial for creating guidelines for further BIM teaching activities
