description
Presentation for eCAADe 2013 at TU/Delft In a context of a slow uptake of the Building Information Modeling (BIM) methodology in the Flemish region, we present the results of an educational research project, carried out over 4 semesters, in a multi-disciplinary, cross-campus collaboration. This project fosters an improved application of BIM, information management and communication, by organizing building teams involving students from different schools. The project partners collaborated on a shared framework of supportive learning material, collaboration scenarios between teams of students and the integration of digital tools for communication, information management and collaboration in the curriculum. This article, in particular, will elaborate on one of the collaborative exercises, involving architecture and engineering students, using BIM for modeling, information exchange and model evaluation.

About project OOF 2011/24
• KU Leuven Assocation“Education Research Fund”
• 2 years (test refine implement)• Collaboration between different
• Schools• Locations• Curriculi• Maturity Level
OBJECTIVES“Collaboration in multi-disciplinary building teams”
Experience and critically evaluate
possibilities & difficulties of
communication and information
exchange
Manage project information using digital building
models
Gain insight in the synergy of a
building team
Student: K. Housmans, 2012
CHALLENGES
• Organization• Differences in communication• Roles in a building team• School & Cultural differences• BIM versus the design studio?
BIM versus the design studio?
• Tradition of 2D drafting & 3D visualization
• Hesitation/attitude towards BIM
BIM = methodology
BIM = process
Technological Challenges
• Software platform, versions• Data formats (proprietary vs. open)
Logistical Challenges
• different schedules• different cities• different sizes of groups• different course status
Focus on collaborative aspects of BIM
Organize Project Teams
Two modes of collaboration
METHODOLOGY
Process & Workflow
• Guideline Document
• IPDP• roles &
responsibilities• information flow• activities
TECHNICAL ASPECTS OF COLLABORATION

Additional Remarks
• Reference Models• Additional Schedules• Process vs. Product

buildingSMART methodologies
• Best practices for information exchange through IFC (ER – MVD)
• Document problems & solutions• Improve specific exchange• Example configuration

• IFC• Output• Import• Verify

Student Feedback/Comments
Student comment Afterthought
Assignments need to be clear and compact
Refine the assignment, limit requested documents/models/reports, be specific
Improve team coherence Initial group meeting, esp. with external engineering students. Have them clarify their tasks to each other.
What should the model checker role do? Add explanations about the rulesets.
Graphics in model checker look weird Clarify software limitations. Model checker is not a visualisation environment. Focus on relevance in process.
Model geometry is not exact in model viewer/checker
Clarify that the purpose of a viewer/checker is different from a documentation tool.
Two types of feedback
• Project Based > architectural design, building performance, visualization
• Process Based > working in a building team, questionnaires, peer assessment
Conclusions and future outlook
• Valuable experience• BIM as process• Reflect on product & process• Software & IFC is “good enough”
Conclusions and future outlook
• Clarify Expectations• Refinement• Curriculum Adjustments
• Continue collaboration• Regional BIM network
