Develop a three-dimensional thinking of the architectural design in close relation with its bi and three-dimensional communication tools.

With the frequency of the Continuing Training Course in ArchiCAD it is intended for the student to be able to: This kind of software will be used in its BIM capability in which from a three-dimensional model of the building it’s possible to generate plans, sections and elevations, as well as other elements related to an architectural project. With these Continuing Training Course we intend to transmit the knowledge required for the elaboration of architectural models and drawings through the use of ArchiCAD software.

Promote the complementary relationship between digital and manual design processes.Ĭoordinated by the architects and lecturers João Pedro Xavier and José Pedro Sousa, the Continuing Training Course 'Training in ArchiCAD' arises from the relevant relationship between the computer and the design processes in architecture, addressed in courses such as the Advanced Studies Course in Digital Architecture organized between FAUP and ISCTE-IUL, or as the Constructive Geometry and Computer Aided Design classes, from the Integrated Master in Architecture of FAUP.įor this edition the teaching staff of this Course will be comprised by the architects José Pedro Sousa and Pedro de Azambuja Varela.Ģ.2 Doors, windows, roofs and other objectsĢ.3 Complex geometry modeling, composite walls, columns and beamsģ.2 Layout composition: presentation and printing techniques.

Explore associated communication processes through the production of communication images, and the preparation and printing of sheets/panels.

Acquire introductory techniques for an integral development of the architecture project in ArchiCAD.

Study the fundamentals of 2D and 3D digital design and modeling using a BIM computer application.

As an introduction to the digital condition for the development of the architectural design process, the objectives of this course are:
