Introduction:
On models in future practice
In this session, we think about the model’s future. More and more formerly disparate steps become integrated in ever smarter building information models; at the same time students of architecture produce ever larger physical structures as models. Which processes will remain inherently bound to modeling, which ones will be displaced to other parts of architectural design and building? Will the model become marginalized, or will it absorb all other parts of the building process? Will all structures be built models in the end?

Built together! Digital models and teaching teamplay
Problem Statement: to create, to access and to work with digital building design models requires technical equipment, tool competence and practice in addition to design competence. entry barriers seem higher and assuming a similar outcome as teaching with analogue models, only additional value would give reason to use digital models. If different disciplines are working on a building design as a team, a uniform understanding contributes significantly to smooth team play. It is therefore highly desirable to reduce the scope for interpretation and the demands on spatial imagination. digital models - which can also be experi- enced 1:1 via virtual reality, provide exactly these expe- riences. However, investment in the competence of all participants in dealing with digital models is required.
Purpose: The focus of the digiLEARNbim re- search group, which consists of the Institute for Knowledge Media in Tübingen, the University of Ap- plied Sciences Erfurt and the Technical University Darmstadt is on the following question: How can technology acceptance methods be used to lower the hurdles to such an extent that the potential of digital, model-based, interdisciplinary collaboration can unfold effectively?
Methods: Best practice examples are used to explain where didactic, methodological and technical keys lie to enable students to design and plan together, working with coordinated digital models from different disciplines and systems. The results of research on the changes in perspective includes how the participants' attitudes change through collaborative model-based work and VR walk-throughs of self-created worlds as a team. They are used to show which role prior knowl- edge, self-efficacy and technical equipment plays.
Andreas Pilot was part of the German Solar Decathlon Team that won the competition in Washington D.C. in 2007 before he graduated in 2008 at Darmstadt University of Technology. As an architect on the one hand he worked on awarded sustainabil- ity-driven and interdisciplinary projects in Germany and as CEO of an IT company on the other hand he works as a Manager and Coach for Building-Information-Modeling (BIM). He is involved in numerous BIM-networks and committees and has headed the BIM Studio at TU Darmstadt since 2019, focusing on teach- ing and research on model-based and interdisciplinary methods.
Nadja Gaudillière-Jami holds a Master of Architecture from the ENSA Paris-Malaquais and a doctoral degree from the Paris Est - Gustave Eiffel University. A co-founder of XtreeE the large-scale 3D, she is also the president of the NGO thr34d5 and co-heads the Computation In Architecture master programme at the Centre for Information Technol- ogies and Architecture at the Royal Danish Academy. After working several years as a project manager at XtreeE and as a Graduate Research and Teaching Assistant at the ENSA Paris-Malaquais, she is now a postdoctoral researcher at the Digital Design Unit (TU Darmstadt) and the LOEWE Research Cluster “Architectures of Order. Practices and Discourses between Design and Knowledge”. A specialist of the digital in architecture, she focuses on two main research axes : the industrialisation and environmental impact of architectural robotics and the history and epistemology of the computa- tional field in architecture.
