This module deals on a conceptual level with the design of work processes for drafting as well as implementation planning. The focus is on aspects such as collaboration between different project participants and trades, as well as the development of adequate procedures in different project phases based on a given task.

Based on existing skills in the use of CAD, BIM and visualization software, the focus here is on the independent implementation of a complex planning task within a planning team. There is no software training in the conventional sense. The acquisition of software knowledge is essentially self-taught or within short learning sequences that provide support for the context-related expansion of digital competencies.

This module covers

• Basics and characteristics of digital work processes compared to analog methods
• Conception of digital work processes using examples
• Implementation of digital work processes on a complex planning task.
• Application of digital methods and processes in typical design and planning phases using digital tools.

The methodological approaches range from parametric to generative methods to the independent development of scripts via codes. Bridging the gap to computer-aided manufacturing of components is also integrated on a case-by-case basis.

The total workload for the module is 150 hours (see also "ECTS credit points and grading").

• Homework / Assignment or
• Field work / Experimental work or
• Written examination or
• oral exam or
• Project Report, written

Standard form of examination is a homework assignment ("Hausarbeit") in the form of an ArcGIS-StoryMap. Any deviation will be communicated at the start of lectures.
