BIM Visual Analysis       For this BIM Final Project, I wanted to explore the capabilities of programming for visual analysis using a plug in through Revit, called Dynamo. Here, I researched the methods for applying parameters to a panel solar shading device that were influenced to pivot based on the sun path and orientation. This exploration provides the opportunity to design and create aesthetically driven and efficient solar shading devices that are relatable to the identity of the project type.      The programming concepts are using parameters to identify and establish the geometry, pivot placement, and the movement direction of how you want the shading device to operate. Additionally, using Dynamo will apply a database pertinent to satisfy the intentions of the solar shading device.

Building Information Modeling in Architecture w/ Parametric Design Integration Abstract - Using Revit as a modeling software creates challenges at times but in the end, the product and learning outcomes are great. I keep choosing Revit as my go to design software because there are always new information, tools, and skills to learn, explore, and keep developing each time. This enhances the users performance because you’re taking these learning outcomes and applying directly to projects. For this Project 1, the goal was to explore parametric design and modeling then implement that concept into a BIM project. I chose a mix-use development as the building type to explore and integrate parametric modeling into. When establishing inspirations and ideas, I started looking into case studies to understand and analyze different methods and strategies pertinent to the project statement and goals to to this project. Which I found to be very beneficial in the development of my project when analyzi...
