This short course introduces learners to the fundamentals of making architectural visual statements. Creating a visual statement in architecture implies that one is documenting visually using agreed basics and regulations of the architectural discipline. Instructors will introduce learners to aspects of architectural documentation. The short course further discusses architecture transformation from hand drawing to Computer-Aided Design (CAD). The use of CAD has enabled architects to venture into risky scenarios in design through experimentation with new shapes and materials without making prototypes or undertaking structural analysis not until they reach higher phases of the risk. This transformation will come with innovations in making architectural statements for a building project. The trend will see gradual changes. Next to images, drawings, blueprints, and scale models, 3D -CAD and 2D drawing files, BIM models, videos, digital visuals, and documents are emerging. Learners will be exposed to essential inventories of the site before carrying out the first visual attempt.

This short course introduces learners to the following in Managing Content: Solid Modelling: The foundation for custom content creation can create the forms required to build component families. In this short course, learners will learn how to use the tools available in Revit MEP to create model geometry. Learners will also learn how to make geometry parametric, increasing its usability. Creating Symbols and Annotations: Because so much MEP design information is conveyed with schematic symbols, it is essential to have the symbols and annotative objects commonly used for projects. Revit MEP has the tools needed to create schematic symbols for use in component families or directly in projects. In this short course, learners will learn how to use these tools and develop constraints within families to display the symbols in learners' projects. Creating Equipment: Equipment families are an essential component of a Revit model because of their space within a building. In this short course, learners will learn how to use solid modelling tools to create equipment. Learners will also learn how to add connectors for systems and create clearance spaces for coordination with other model elements. Creating Light Fixtures: Lighting fixture families are unique because they can hold photometric data that directly allows lighting analysis in learners' Revit models. This short course covers creating lighting fixture families and adding the data needed for analysis. Learners will also learn how lighting fixture families can be represented in project model views using detailed components, linework, and annotation within the family file. Creating Devices: This short course examines the process for creating MEP system devices and how to use annotations to represent them on construction documents. In this short course, learners will also learn how to use parameters to control and manage symbol visibility. Details: Although creating a model with computable data is the primary reason for using Revit MEP, learners do not want to model every design detail. Therefore, the tools for creating detailed drawings of learners' designs are examined in this short course. Learners will also learn how to use existing CAD details and strategies for creating a library of Revit details. Sheets: When it comes time to submit a project, learners must have coordinated construction documents. In this short course, students will learn how learners can create and manage learners project sheets.

This short course, Facility planning, covers these and all functions of facility management. But that is not enough. Facility planning must be an integral part of the organisation’s business planning, not just an add-on. Almost no organisational function does not require facilities, and they must be planned concurrently with the development of the business plan. Therefore, every organisational business plan should have a corresponding facility plan (strategic, midterm, ad hoc, work, or other). Learners will be exposed to the role of facility managers, how to create facility management programs, and how they should consider the budget for those programs. That enables us to track our efforts from conception through execution.

This short course is about coordinating construction using computerised options to iron out possible anomalies in the BIM model. The short course hints at the crucial bottlenecks in the built environment. It elucidates the extent to which computerised options in conjunction with the BIM model could assist in unravelling the problems that might be in the design. There are many predicaments that the construction industry might encounter. These include, among others, a lack of communication between different individuals of various specialisations working on a project. The result is that there will be a loss of money, quality of work, time, and efficiency, among others. Synchronising construction using technological options is a way forward to achieving efficiency. BIM digital intervention makes a feasible integrated model of a building’s designs and specifications that permit all the individuals involved in a project to see what is happening on the project, what has been done, and any modifications being made.
