BIM and AI For Architects: Empowering Innovative Architectural Design with Revit Parametric Design and Artificial Intelligence

Building Information Modeling (BIM) centralizes essential project data, allowing architects to visualize, analyze and optimize designs. By integrating AI-driven tools with BIM, architects can harness real-time data to evaluate building performance, reduce costs and enhance decision-making and stakeholder dialogue throughout the project lifecycle. This course offers hands-on experience with one of the leading tools in BIM: Autodesk Revit. Students will gain the ability to leverage Revit’s parametric features alongside AI-driven analytics specific to the BIM environment, such as Autodesk Forma and Veras, for a more efficient and innovative design process and visualization. The course focuses on advanced parametric modeling techniques and explores analytic possibilities for the early stages of design, including AI-assisted quantitative program area analysis, energy analysis, lighting analysis and initial cost estimation, showing how these emerging technologies can transform both the design and delivery of architectural projects.
