following:
1. Get the knowledge of BIM (Building Information Modeling) and how to utilize it.
2. Achieve technical skills to communicate architectural ideas in an understandable,
efficient, and accurate manner.
3. Design, analyze and explain the various materials and their synthesis in foundation,
floor, wall, roof, and finish system of a commercial building.
4. Understand architectural programming and develop schematic design and
construction documents for commercial building.
5. Develop and give a presentation of the commercial building designs with 2-D and 3D computer modeling.

Instructional Format
This course consists of lectures, lab assignments, personal project, and exams. It is
highly recommended that you attend all scheduled class and lab sessions. Every student
is expected to come to class prepared and to actively participate in our learning
environment.
Assignments
Lab assignments are designed to practice computer drawing and other activities covered
from the lecture. Each assignment will carry a due date and time. Late assignment will
receive no credit.
Midterm / Final Exam
Consists of computer drawing exam. Drawing criteria will be set by the instructor. You
will need to demonstrate your understanding using the software (Autodesk Revit
Building).
Personal project / Final presentation
The objective of the final project is to develop the design that satisfies the multiple
design requirements discussed during the classes. You will develop a set of drawings
that incorporates programmatic and site elements, but also integrates aesthetic, spatial
and formal requirements into your design.
The final presentation is designed to be a means to demonstrate your understanding of
the information. At the end of the semester, you will prepare and give a presentation on
your final project.
Grading and Course Logistics
The final grade will be based on a combination of the lab assignment, midterm, project
and the final exam grade, as follows:

Class Attendance
Regular class attendance is mandatory. Attendance is important because students will
have problems in following on the next class if they missed a class. It will cause the
delay of the entire class. Therefore, no unexcused absence is allowed. The students with
unexcused absences will have their grade lowered by ONE point for each missed class.
If you anticipate having problems making it to class, I suggest you modify your
schedule or whatever it takes to make it work. If you miss class, it is your responsibility
to contact me or a classmate and get the material/information from that day.

6) An equivalent activity with above
Each violation will result in negative points of 1.0 in your final grading and the
instructor can ask the students to leave the classroom.
Class materials and grades
All class materials, lab assignments and grades will be posted at
http://westernonline.wiu.edu. You need to access to check your grades or print out the
class materials before the beginning of the class.
