ASSIGNMENT 2
Students are asked to select one pattern from previous assignment to develop a single module. The module does not neccessary to be an exact replication of the 2D patter. The module is then repeated to form a shelter of dimension 5m x 5m x 3m high. The shelter formed should be abled to define internal and external space. Students may take reference to their Y2 first studio project for inspirations
Students are not restricted to the selection of software to develop the design, but during tutorials Rhino are used to demonstrated the assignment.

ASSIGNMENT 3
This assignment aims to provide insign to students for the material, in-model style and camera / scene setting. Students are asked to add library objects like people, animals or vegetations to provide a sense of scale. Students should also learn to tie dimensions in the 3D model. Students will set scene / camera and export the views for the final design of the shelter.

COLLABORATION
An important aspect of BIM is the ability to collaborate. Students are given a master layout plan. Each student will sign up on the Blackboard for a lot number and place their design in the previous assignment into the neighbourhood. Students may continue to work on the previous assignment simultaneously. Students can familiarise themselves with the method and effect working in a multi file environment. The federated models collected from all students will be used in the next assignment during visualisation.
Given:
1. 3D MLP file (.pln)
Submittals :
1. Assignment PDF : 3D overview & master layout plan
2. 3D design file (.mod)

ASSIGNMENT 7
VISUALISATION
Apart from embedded visualisation function in the BIM software, students are asked to use external rendering programme to demonstrate their visualisation skills. In addition, previous assignments of the class are combined into a neighbourhood. Students will make use of the neighbourhood that they have created to perform the visualisation assignment. Comparing to traditional rendering softwares, new rendering softwares based on gaming engine offer a much more intuitive experience.
Twinmotion is adopted as the tutorial example, but students are not restricted to the software of choice, for example VRay, Enscape, Lumion.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Artificial intelligence is an aspect not to be overlooked. Students are asked to use AI image generator to produce images based on their previous assignment. The assignment target to let students to understand the pros and cons, challenges and opportunities offered by the new technology. Students are also required to describe their observations for the use of AI in the process of obtaining their resultant images.
