It is the final week of this quarter and the intelligent
building class goes to end. Based on 10 week study, I expanded my knowledge on
building aspect; moreover, I learned several things both on technology and
learning method. It is well beyond my expection.
For technology, it gives me the opportunity to deal with BIM
and database. Compared with the first
few weeks when I barely know what BIM is, now I can run Revit and draw
something with it. It is a great progress to me. The practice is necessary and
usually cost more time but less effort than I expect, however, I get a deeper
understanding on how it works and when the building design is finished, the
feeling of creation is good and we play with it more, focusing on the better
developing model and more application of Revit such as cost analysis. Although
it is only a preliminary try, we enjoy the process and it is worth the time.
When the class is over, I still want to work on that to develop a better
version. Thanks to the class I find
another powerful software---access, one type of databases. When I did the homework, I realized I can
combine my research record into it to make a better organization. Gabrielle
Carpenter’s said she use access
daily to manage her finances, I agree that is a good idea.
In addition, I also appreciate the guest lecture on sensors
in the service of increasing building efficiency and database as Xiang said.
They give me a more clear understanding on what I have learned because when I
read the material, sometimes it is abstract and the guest lectures bring the
material into real life. Moreover, the database lecture from Dr. II-Yeol Song also
addressed several specific problems which I met in the practice. It really
helped me a lot.
The more important thing I learn from this lecture is the self-study
spirit. Unlike other class, which I can only focused on the questions and seek
for the answers, this class addresses more on the exploring part. We need to
find the knowledge by ourselves, especially for the update of blog. Just because of that, I develop my ability both on writing and
reading. For example, for the first blog I needed two days to collect
information, but for the last one, the same extent of searching only cost me
three hours and I can spend more time on correcting the logic and structure.
In general, this lecture is designed
to open-minded and we can bring whatever we learned from class, mostly by
ourselves. Although I have the same feeling
as Cifligu
that the material presented is plenty against this short time. I think it is
the main purpose that to introduce
all intelligent building based concepts during 10 weeks as Rita
Pauliushchyk said.
Based on the understanding of aspects I interested, I can further
explore the extent.
