Assessment task details and instructions This trimester two module is to introduce the concept of digitalisation in the built environment industry and allow you to apply different digital technologies. The construction industry is Assessment Information/Brief 2 experiencing an increasing implementation of digital technologies such as building information modelling (BIM), augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR), laser scanning, robotics, 3D printing, prefabrication. The module is intended to enhance your skills and responses to new and exciting digital technologies in the construction industry exploring sustainability, 2D & 3D software, innovative equipment/technologies, materials, and structures. Each lecture will provide an overview of the topic under consideration followed by group tutorials discussing/exploring the topic further to provide an opportunity to enhance learning, navigating research material and self-reflection. The assessment will comprise of an illustrated ‘Portfolio Diary’ based on the tasks listed below. The blank diary template will be provided to you in week 1 in PowerPoint format - you are to record and write a personal summary and response to the tasks listed below. The responses to each task can be supported by any type of visual such as sketches/doodles/spider diagrams and 300 words. As professionals in the construction industry, you will soon understand we, consultants use drawings, sketches and visuals to convey design, space, materials, structure etc. With this in mind use imagery/visuals to support your response to each task. Each of the tasks in your portfolio diary should be clearly annotated and clarity of your visual presentation is important. All material should be referenced throughout if it’s not your own work. You are to include your own research and observations demonstrating self- study exploring the subject further. Research can include specific case studies, literature/information from manufacturers websites, articles from respectable newspapers, magazines, research publications, books, journals etc provided in the lectures. Tasks – 400 words for each task 1. Choose a digital technology that you use daily and explain the benefits of that technology, consider the impacts without this technology. 2. Choose 1 disruptive digital technology in the Built environment and explain the potential and any constraints it could bring to the future of the industry. 3. Consider one of the current discipline roles within the Built Environment and discuss how digitalisation has been utilised within that role. 4. What is BIM in the Built environment and why do we need it? Assessment Information/Brief 3 5. Explain a Sustainability output that the built environment industry currently employ. 6. Materials and Structure - compare and select 1 of 3 case studies. 7. Revit - Consider 6 advantages and disadvantages of the software and describe your own experiences using it as a whole. Submit screen shots of your model demonstrating a range of drawings and 3D visuals. The Portfolio Diary is to comprise of an A4 word document – landscape format with each page containing your student ID, module description, Trimester 2 and the academic year (2024/2025). The template in PowerPoint format will be provided to you so you can populate the information yourself. There are 7 tasks to perform. Each task is to be documented in the Portfolio Diary.
