Visual Programming for Digital Construction

Description

To enable digital construction specialists to utilize appropriate visual programming tools to automate, improve workflows and gamify construction projects using a node-based interface. Students will require a good understanding and competency of BIM-related software to undertake this module. 

Learning Outcomes

1. Identify real-world problems in construction and develop innovative solutions using visual scripting for digital construction.
2. Design a visual programming application using construction authoring software to generate complex geometry and data.
3. Engage in the development of application programming interface (API) using a visual node-based interface.
4. Evaluate the limitations of construction-related software and present a range of possible solutions using application programming interface (API).
5. Demonstrate an ability to critically evaluate new and emerging technologies in the areas of Generative Design, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and gamification.
