Response to Renee Cheng's Report on Integrated Practice: Suggestions for an Integrative Education
Cheng's report focuses on how BIM should be incorporated into an architectural education. She emphasizes the importance of teaching the logic behind each tool and command so that students can utilize BIM as a design software.
I agree with Cheng's recommendation that beginning students should be exposed to a "stripped-down" version of BIM before moving on to more complicated 3D modeling capabilities. It would be helpful to introduce first-year architecture students to the concepts behind solid geometry and boolean logic so that they have a better understanding of how and why BIM operates the way it does. The sooner the concepts behind BIM are introduced to sooner, the more students can begin to utilize BIM the way it was intended.
