ARC 164: Design Software for Architecture - Building Information Modeling
This is a hands-on introduction to software used in the fields of architecture, interior design and construction. Through lectures, demonstrations and hands-on lab exercises, students learn the concepts of Building Information Modeling (BIM). Tools used for parametric building design and documentation are covered. By the end of the class, students are able to create an entire project, from schematic design through construction documentation and identify the benefits of BIM. Photorealistic rendering techniques and walkthroughs are also introduced.

ARC 165: Sustainable Design and Building Information Modeling
This course examines the underlying principles of sustainability design. Major aspects of sustainable design such as site location, energy efficiency, and material selection are covered. In addition, this course addresses the importance of Building Information Modeling (BIM) as it relates to sustainable design. Several application projects are designed during the semester.
