REVIT is fast replacing AutoCAD as the industry standard for architectural design and construction modeling due to its superior ability to integrate project data across the full range of architectural documents. In this course students can expect to develop a solid conceptual understanding of BIM as an emerging model of architectural design and planning software as well as a hands-on understanding of REVIT Architecture. Weekly exercises in REVIT will culminate in a small portfolio piece which demonstrates the student’s working knowledge of the program.
