| 066-0427-00L | Design and Building Process MIBS  | 2 credits | 2V | A. Paulus, S. Menz | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Abstract | Design and Building Process MIBS is a brief manual for prospective architects and engineers covering the competences and the responsibilities of all involved parties through the design and building process. Lectures on six compact aspects gaining importance in a increasingly specialised, complex and international surrounding. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Learning objective | Participants will come to understand how they can best navigate the design and building process, especially in relation to understanding their profession, gaining a thorough knowledge of rules and regulations, as well as understanding how involved parties' minds work. They will also have the opportunity to investigate ways in which they can relate to, understand, and best respond to their clients' wants and needs. Finally, course participants will come to appreciate the various tools and instruments, which are available to them when implementing their projects. The course will guide the participants, bringing the individual pieces of knowledge into a superordinate relationship. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Content | Design and Building Process MIBS is a brief manual for prospective architects and engineers covering the competencies and the responsibilities of involved parties through the design and building process. Three compact chapters regarding the established building culture are gaining importance in an increasingly specialised, complex and international surrounding. Lectures on the topics of competence, organisation, agility, monitoring, interest, and the environment will guide the participants, bringing the individual pieces of knowledge into a superordinate relationship. The course introduces the key figures, depicts the criteria of the project and highlights the proveded services of the consultants. In addition to discussing the basics, the terminologies and the tendencies, the lecture units will refer to the studios as well as the practice: Teaching-based workshops will compliment and deepen the understanding of the three selected aspects of profession, methodology, and environment. The course is presented as a moderated seminar to allow students the opportunity for invididual input: active cololaboration between the students and their tutor therefore required. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 072-0101-00L | Module 1: Foundations of Digitalisation | 1 credit | 2G | A. Paulus, S. Menz | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Abstract | Key terms: Digital transformation is more than digitisation of existing processes and information | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Learning objective | Independently of the building industry, Module 1 initially provides information about the characteristics of digitalisation through its principles and rules, enabling the participants to independently recognise the short-term and long-term changes that are resulting from it. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Content | The first module addresses the topic of digitalisation and digital transformation in a holistic sense. It is much more than converting documents into PDFs or using software. It is about transforming processes, resources and information into a consistent and efficient digital system to make life easier for employees and customers. This journey always involves change. From the perspective of other industries, we first build up a basic understanding and discuss the opportunities and risks. How do the experiences of other industries help us? What can be derived from them? Why is BIM only a small part and why is the future of BIM not BIM? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 072-0102-00L | Module 2: Collaboration | 1 credit | 2G | A. Paulus, S. Menz | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Abstract | Key terms: "Behaviour for Collaboration" - Structural questions on collaboration and the patterns of behaviour. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Learning objective | In Module 2, we break from the theoretical idea of a purely technology-based, better collaboration and look at the situation realistically in order to be able to understand and develop new solutions and requirements. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Content | The usual approach towards digital transformation is to train people to use new technologies. In contrary, we ask for the specific challenges and problems people have with change. We learn to understand viewpoints of different partners within building projects and new solutions to specific problems. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 072-0103-00L | Module 3: Foundation of Automation | 1 credit | 2G | A. Paulus, S. Menz | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Abstract | Key terms: Managed data, semantics and file formats | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Learning objective | Module 3 we leave behind the negative images from the early days of automation. A gloomy and misanthropic image of automation - both a bliss and a curse. We get to know the positive sides and learn to apply them. How do we become a sustainable "Formula 1"? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Content | What does it take to be able to work together in a digitally networked environment? How many "techie genes" are needed to work efficiently and effectively with structured data? The third module gives an insight into the principles of data architectures, data formats, attributes and platform technology. Machine readability as an important requirement but also as a clear challenge e.g. to security requirements. The module offers the opportunity to prepare for the voluntary buildingSMART Professional Certification. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 072-0104-00L | Module 4: Foundation of Value Creation | 1 credit | 2G | A. Paulus, S. Menz | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Abstract | Key terms: Added value of digital transformation, distributed data management, digital twin, logistics and robotics. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Learning objective | Using specific examples, Module 4 illustrates the foundations and versatility of building information modeling (BIM), enabling participants to deal with the concepts, applications and mechanisms involved. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Content | "Highway to hell or highway to haven" - the question of a clear and simple roadmap is always at the heart of a digital transformation. "Value creation" is a central goal. Digitalisation is often seen as a strategy from the productivity gap. The fourth module shows how strategic goals can be developed in a roadmap and implemented in practice and how the individual shareholders and stakeholders participate. We learn to consciously look at the topic of added value and digital transformation from different perspectives. Collision checking and quantity take-offs (QTO) are very useful. But they are only basics when it comes to real value creation. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 072-0105-00L | Module 5: New Business Models | 1 credit | 2G | A. Paulus, S. Menz | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Abstract | Key terms: Business models, cultural change, disruption, evolution, lean methods | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Learning objective | Module 5 focuses on cultural change, innovation, disruption or evolution? In this last model, we learn to question and discover what the 17 Sustainable Goals mean for our industry. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Content | As a final module, new business models are discussed and explored. Examples will be used to explore patterns and interfaces and to analyse what is needed today and in the future for a successful and sustainable development of the sector. How can innovative ideas move us forward? What can we learn from design thinking? Why is it important for people to have useful and understandable measurable values? How do the 17 Sustainable Goals influence our industry? We will analyse the topic on the basis of two concrete examples, familiarise ourselves with them and observe their further development as a result. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
