Interior Architecture Digital Documentation 1
Overview
This unit will provide students with digital documentation principles and representation skills using an advanced information rich model applying parametric components (building rich information model based on pre-defined rules). These skills will allow students to communicate design ideas across stakeholders within the Architectural Engineering and Construction (AEC) Industry. The emphasis of this unit of study is on developing a 3D model of a constructed project and extract 2D documentation to a professional standard that meets Australian building codes and regulations requirements.
