PRESENTATION
The Master’s in Virtual Reality Architect is a high-level specialization designed for professionals in architecture, engineering, interior design, and construction. This program will allow you to update and specialize your skills in digital architectural design, advanced BIM modeling, and virtual reality, optimizing the representation of spaces and enhancing your professional performance. You will refine your mastery of digital architectural design and the application of immersive technologies in architecture. You will delve into advanced BIM modeling methodology across its construction phases, from 4D planning and 5D cost management to 6D sustainability and 7D facility management, including historical as-built analysis. You’ll master key tools such as Revit, SketchUp, and AutoCAD—not only for creating detailed 3D models but also for generating high-impact infographics and photorealistic visualizations. You’ll learn to integrate virtual reality into your workflows, enhancing the user experience and decision-making at every stage of the project. This Master’s program equips you with the necessary skills to lead innovation in architectural visualization and management, enabling you to apply advanced solutions in the representation, optimization, and lifecycle management of spaces. You will explore collaboration using building information standards and the application of Dynamo for automating complex processes, as well as the strategic role of the BIM Manager and the use of Navisworks for comprehensive project coordination. The program offers you a comprehensive perspective on advanced project management and the efficient coordination of multidisciplinary teams, ensuring that your proposals are strategically sound, innovative, and sustainable.
