The Faculty of Architecture of the University of Porto (FAUP) will hold the 3rd edition of the Continuing Training Courses “Training in Revit” and “Training in ArchiCAD” (2 ECTS credits), from 15 to 18 de April 2019. The 4 classes will happen in FAUP, from monday to thursday, with a duration of 4,5 hours and the last class will have the duration of 5 hours. The application period will run from 06 to 21 March 2019.
Drawing supports and tools are decisive factors for the design, development and communication of the architecture project. With the introduction of the computer in the design process, new challenges and opportunities arise, not only from their specific potentialities, but also from their relationship and distinction with traditional analogue processes, such as drawing by hand.
As an introduction to the digital condition for the development of the architectural design process, the objectives of this course are:
Coordinated by the architects and lecturers João Pedro Xavier and José Pedro Sousa, the Continuing Training Courses 'Training in Revit’ and 'Training in ArchiCAD' arise from the relevant relationship between the computer and the design processes in architecture, addressed in courses such as the Advanced Studies Course in Digital Architecture organized between FAUP and ISCTE-IUL, or as the Constructive Geometry and Computer Aided Design classes, from the Integrated Master in Architecture of FAUP. Despite being independent courses, they will happen in the same days and with common exercises and learning topics.
For this edition the teaching staff of these Courses will be comprised by the architects José Pedro Sousa, Pedro de Azambuja Varela and Bruno Moreira.

Assessment:
Distributed without final exam:
With these Continuing Training Courses we intend to transmit the knowledge required for the elaboration of architectural models and drawings through the use of Revit and/or ArchiCAD software. This kind of software will be used in its BIM capability in which from a three-dimensional model of the building it’s possible to generate plans, sections and elevations, as well as other elements related to an architectural project.
With the frequency of the Continuing Training Courses in Revit and ArchiCAD it is intended for the student to be able to:
The Courses are directed for students of the University of Porto interested in the subject, students of Architecture, other architects and building industry professionals, and the public in general. The frequency of the course - Revit or ArchiCAD - has a cost of 100¤ for students, teachers and non-teaching staff at U. Porto; 150¤ for students outside U. Porto; and 180¤ for the remaining situations. The students enrolled in one of the courses of this first edition can enroll in the other course with a discount of 20¤ (from the first edition cost) during the second edition, thus obtaining training in Revit and ArchiCAD, two of the most used BIM applications in the architecture market.
