Series of Trainings (T1) held

Maribor and Leipzig, 16 - 26 November 2021

As part of the activities of TACEESM Work Package 3 - Capacity Building, the Faculty of Civil Engineering, Transportation Engineering and Architecture, University of Maribor from Slovenia as a lead organization of WP3 and National Polytechnical University of Armenia as a co-leader of WP3 and in cooperation with HTWK Leipzig organized the Training T1. Due to epidemic restrictions the visit was changed to online trainings between the 16th of November and 26th of November 2021. The trainings facilitated basic concepts of teaching of current relevant topics in the field of architecture with innovative teaching methods to improve teachers’ practices.

The training was launched by the Faculty of Civil Engineering, Transportation Engineering and Architecture, University of Maribor with introduction of the Department of Architecture, presentation of Architecture BSc and MSc programme and presentation of courses & syllabuses by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Metka Sitar.

Furthermore, following courses were made available for partners HEIs: Smart architecture, Studio I and Studio sustainable building.

"Smart architecture" is a second year (3rd semester) master course in which the students design solutions in the context of added value in architecture. The lecture was a summarised lecture on this year’s topic on added value for an industrial building in Maribor where we connect the topic with parametric architecture for the student’s exercise. (Asst.Prof. dr. techn. Marko Jaušovec).

"Studio Sustainable Building" is a second year (3rd semester) master course in which the students design complex urban plans and architecture in accordance with the principles of sustainable development. 2021 task deals with extension and addition to an existing structure of former army barracks in Munich, Germany. The students are designing a tower-style multi-storey wood building with a height up to the high-rise limit to complement the historical building. With their solutions they will be able to compete in the international student competition proHolz Student Trophy 22 (Architect Werner Nussmüller, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Metka Sitar, dr. Nataša Šprah).

In the Training at the University of Applied Sciences Leipzig (HTWK Leipzig) Prof. Dr. Monica Rossi Schwarzenbeck and Dipl.Ing. Christian Irmscher presented the didactic and research activities on the topic of Building Information Modelling at the HTWK and offer a Virtual Walk around the BIM-Lab (Center for Applied Digitization) and it’s Technical Equipment (Hard- and Software).

"Digitization in construction" Class in the Master´s degree program the HTWK Leipzig offers a cross-disciplinary, -faculty and -University BIM-Seminar in which students perform a digitized design process themselves based on an openBIM workflow. The 5 teams of the HTWK and the three teams of the Technical University of Dresden, under the supervision of 10 faculty members from different faculties, work on the same project using different software on the basis of an Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) standard and communicating with each other with the BIM Collaboration Format (BCF) and a Common Data Environment. The models of the different disciplines are overlaid and verified in Solibri.

BIM Research The digitization of the building project, in its many facets and insights, is the subject of numerous Bachelor, Master and PhD theses at the HTWK. Many of these theses and some researches are carried out with the cooperation of industrial partners, companies, engineering firms etc. In addition, the HTWK Leipzig has a cooperation with the University of Naples on BIM issues so that every year PhD students from Naples do a research period at the HTWK Leipzig where they can use the instruments and the contacts on the territory.

Virtual Walk around the BIM-Labor HTWK has a Center for Applied Digitization called BIM-Labor where the seminar of the master course in "Digitization in construction" as well as other teaching and research activities take place. This flexibly used space is equipped with a Cave Automatic Virtual Environment, Virtual-Reality-Glasses, Augmented-Reality-Glasses, Multi-touch-Displays, a conference Systems and 20 PCs at the disposal of the students. In the training, some of this equipment was shown.
