As part of their Professinal Computer Aided Design II Course, students will learn how to creat BIM objecs that have three parameters: (1) Size (2) Material (3) Visibity Parameter. The aabove figure is an examle shown is a BIM object created by AB for ethioplugin research, a traditional seat while the figure below is BIM object created by AB for an assignemnt at housing chair, konso housing typology.
Liuel Hizikias's reflection on research Ethioplugin: I strongly believe the availability of the plugin in the Ethiopian architectural community would greatly affect the design process and the final outcome of the design itself. It could create an opportunity that was not previously available for the architects in the industry, allowing them to freely manipulate and create new architectural masterpiece with an Ethiopian identity. The innovations in the software field, like the advancement of the Revit software and it’s freely manipulate able component allows this project to be more diverse and free. It gives the chance for the users to not only use the components made by the Ethio-plugin research group but also play with the components or modules in his\her own way. The different views of the different architects based on their attitude towards the Ethiopian culture would be painted on the buildings across the city as a result of this project. It has been a really amazing journey in the ethio-plugin research group, mainly because of the outputs every member submitted. It reflected the potential present in the industry, the potential to change the architectural problems in our country not only based on identity but also every single aspect.
