level of site, climate & microclimate – Students familiarize themselves with designing for different themes such

as Architecture style, personality, Architects Philosophy etc. Use of models & software to calculate the thermal

response & natural light inside the designed building is encouraged.

SESSIONAL WORK:

• Two projects to be given as assignments to cover the course. 1st Design to be of 6-8 weeks and the second

problem to be of 8-10 weeks. Emphasis on climate responsive design will be given in the second problem.

Emphasis should also be given on the 3-dimensional studies through sketches, study models etc. at various

stages of design process. Written description about design should be encouraged as an activity to initiate and

sustain a logical and rational thought process for the same.

TEACHING PLAN:

• First Project to be a compact single-family private residence (composite load bearing) ranging between 200-

300 sqm. on smaller site.

• Second Project shall be a semi-luxury/ luxury, multi-family residence (RCC) ranging between 400-600 sqm.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

• Learn the basics of using Revit 2018 for architectural design. This course is designed for students who have no

prior Revit experience and want to work in Metric Scale. It is a beginner's course that approaches Revit from the

ground up. First, get comfortable with the Revit environment, and learn to set up a project and add the grids,

levels, and dimensions that will anchor your design. Then dive into modelling: adding walls, doors, and windows;

using joins and constraints; creating and mirroring groups; linking to external assets and DWG files; and

modelling floors, roofs, and ceilings. fundamentals and good work habits are emphasized every step of the way.

• After learning basics, students are expected to discover advanced techniques for modelling stairs and complex

walls, adding rooms, and creating schedules by their own. Finally, they should also discover how to annotate

drawings so all the components are clearly understood, and learn how to output sheets to DWF, PDF, or AutoCAD.

UNIT 1

• Understanding BIM and the Revit element hierarchy

• Navigating views

• Creating a new project from a template

UNIT 2

• Adding walls, doors, and windows

• Adding plumbing fixtures and other components

• Linking AutoCAD DWG files

• Rotating and aligning Revit links

• Working with footprint and extrusion roofs

• Adding openings

UNIT 3

• Adding railings and extensions to stairs

• Creating stacked and curtain walls

• Hiding and isolating objects

• Adding rooms

UNIT 4

• Creating schedule views and tags

• Adding text and dimensions

• Creating new families

• Using reference planes, parameters, and constraints

• Plotting and creating a PDF

SESSIONAL WORK:

• Min 1 assignment on each unit.

• Min 1 Tutorial after completion of Unit 4.


• Mastering Autodesk Revit.
