Course contents :
|
| The course deals with 3D modelling.
1) Reminder concerning networking.
2) The stakes of 3D modelling in architecture.
3) Positioning an object in a 3D space.
4) Modelling the main elements comprising a piece of architecture.
5) Organising the information.
6) Libraries of 3D elements, textures, etc.
7) Modelling and acquisition of the context.
8) Insertion of the virtual model in its context.
9) Communication of the virtual model - making plans.
10) Communication of the virtual model - computer generated image. |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| This course is an approach to 3D modelling as a support for the design part of the architecture project. It also consists of an approach to elaborating the database required for the representation and communication of the architecture project.
First of all, students will familiarise themselves with the techniques to position objects in the 3D space.
Secondly, they will deal with organising the information required to fully use modelling.
Thirdly, students will be introduced to data acquisition within the context of their project. They will also deal with the problem of insertion within the context.
Fourthly, they will be confronted with the communication techniques of the 3D modelling results.
WARNING: practice in the regular use of this computer tool is very limited. The time devoted to this course within the student's overall degree course is not sufficient to achieve the level of mastery necessary for the professional use of this tool. |
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| 1) Knowledge of Windows 7, mainly handling files.
2) Knowledge of classic plan-making techniques (not computer assisted).
3) Basic knowledge of computer-based plan-making (2D AutiCad or the like) |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| This course is part of the 3rd bachelor's cycle/3rd year of the bachelor's degree and continues on from the course taught in the 2nd cycle/year . Subsequently, the work method is the same. The course is composed of 24 two-hour sessions.
First of all, students will carry out supervised practical work, organised in small groups, preceded by theoretical presentations for all students. Every student works on acquiring the theory and its application during 16 two-hour sessions.
Secondly, during 7 two-hour sessions, students work on an exercise regarding the modelling and presentation of a project based on a project workshop exercise from the second year, or possibly third year, of the bachelor's degree . This exercise will be specified at the beginning of the year.
To be able to finish the above-mentioned modelling and presentation work, the student must do extra work either in the CAO studio or at home (see "Total number of hours").
A final 2-hour session is planned to hand in the modelling and presentation work (beginning of May 2014). |

|
Assessment methods and criteria :
|
| Continuous assessment during the practical work sessions (in the CAO studio). It is compulsory to attend the practical sessions and all the work must be handed in on Webarchi as the work progresses. This continuous assessment is completed by an exam during the first session of exams, relating to the subject taught within the framework of the theoretical presentations. Continuous assessment and the theoretical exam count for 50% of the points awarded during the "Computer assisted design, ..." course.
During the second session, the assessment focuses on the knowledge of modelling and presentation techniques based on a test with a practical and theoretical part. |
