PROJECT 1
REVIT MODELLING AND DOCUMENTATION
For our first project, students are required to learn and produce a Revit model of their selected building 2-storey building with relevant architectural components such as walls, roof, stairs, floor, curtain wall, doors, and windows. The Revit model produced should be compliant with LOD 200 requirements and requires 2 Revit Family components. At the end of the project, students are to produce a building documentation of the Revit model made which includes plans, elevations, sections, callouts, exploded isometric and room schedule.
PROJECT 2
EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR RENDERINGS
For our second project, students are required to produce photorealistic still renderings using 3Ds Max of the final Revit model produced in the first project. Students are required to add in materials, lights, cameras, and site context for the final rendering. Students are also encouraged to enhance render outcomes from 3Ds Max using Adobe Photoshop as a post-production tool.
REFLECTION
discipline specific knowledge -
At the end of this module, I have been introduced and gained experience on using digital applications that I have not used before that is Revit, 3Ds Max and Adobe Photoshop. By getting to know how to use these applications, it will ease my next projects especially for my Architecture Studio modules.
thinking and problem solving skills -
Throughout, this project I had some difficulties learning applications such as Revit and Photoshop in the beginning but after reaching out to friends who are more experienced and watching tutorials on the internet, I was able to find solutions to the problems I faced.
intrapersonal skills -
Time management was important to during this project as I am aware that I take longer than others to learn a new skill. Thus, I would schedule my free time during the weekends to complete my tasks for project 1 and 2.
