The MaCAD is a unique online programme training a new generation of architects, engineers and designers ready to develop skills into the latest softwares, computational tools, BIM technologies and AI towards innovation for the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry.
Welcome Everyone My Name is Anton Klyshnia, I am a student of MaCad program at the Institute of Advanced Architecture of Catalonia. You are listening to the podcast as a part of Course: BIM and Smart Construction Theory. Today we will discuss how the AI will influence the architectural software and BIM software in particular. … Read more
Aim This research aims to examine the impact and importance for AEC firms to engage in a digital transformation to make most use of artificial intelligence (AI) within building information modeling (BIM). The research has a focus on enhancing firms and projects (the built environment) based on the design team’s use of advanced digital tools. … Read more
Brief Description BIM(Building Information Modeling)* adoption seems widespread in architectural practice. But what is professionals’ opinion on this? How is it affecting our routine works? And how is it going to shape the feature of building design industry? Is there any obstacle for the application and how can we cope with it? This interview aims … Read more
//BRIEF DESCRIPTION The transition from point cloud scanning to object/geometry recognition in architecture is challenging due to data complexity, manual processes, and limitations in existing software solutions. This workflow is slow and since part of it is still done manually and precision is lost. The aim of this research is to identify the challenges in … Read more
Definition of Modular construction by the American Institute of Architects: “The process by which components of a building are prefabricated off-site in a controlled setting and then shipped to the project site and assembled.” Problem Statement Modular Construction manufactures off-site building components or modules designed to fit together. This process offers several advantages: efficiency increment, … Read more
Link to Podcast Link to Transcript Extended Reality (XR) alters between R, VR, AR, and MR as required. It can be visualized through immersive goggles or any phone or tablet. Used by engineers and contractors for simple clash detection and checking on-site inventory, but there is also a new opportunity for architects to control advanced … Read more
Project on Mars: Accommodation in Jezero Crater Our design is influenced by the relationship between the amount of energy required to dig underground vs. the amount of energy lost to heating a building above ground. The cold extreme environment on Mars is what makes building above ground a bad idea when stable temperatures are available … Read more
