About Workshop:

This practical workshop introduces participants to Building Information Modeling (BIM) by guiding them through a digital reconstruction of the iconic Lotus Temple in Autodesk Revit. Attendees will work through industry-standard BIM processes, covering architectural modeling, design development, documentation, scheduling, and visualization, while learning techniques for building complex forms and data-rich models. Using the Lotus Temple as a working example, the session shows how BIM improves design precision, coordination, and overall project delivery. By the end, participants will have built a full BIM model and gained hands-on familiarity with the digital design and visualization methods used across the AEC industry today.

Workshop Highlights

• Architectural BIM Modeling

Project Scope

Participants will build a full architectural BIM model of the Lotus Temple, covering:

• Advanced architectural modeling
• Lotus-inspired petal geometry creation
• Walls, floors, roofs, and site components
• BIM documentation and detailing
• Material assignments and quantity schedules
• 3D visualization and presentation views
• Sheet creation and construction documentation

Why Attend This Workshop?

The Lotus Temple is celebrated for its distinctive form, intricate geometry, and architectural importance, making it an ideal case study for learning Building Information Modeling. This workshop gives participants hands-on practice with Autodesk Revit while introducing the same BIM workflows used by architects, engineers, and construction professionals on real projects, including building intelligent models, producing coordinated documentation, generating quantity schedules, and creating high-quality visualizations. The skills gained here carry over directly to modern AEC work and lay a solid foundation for careers in architecture, engineering, BIM, and digital construction.

Workshop Outcome

By the end of this workshop, participants will have a complete architectural BIM model of the Lotus Temple and practical experience across architectural modeling, BIM documentation, quantity scheduling, construction drawing production, and project visualization in Autodesk Revit. They will also understand how BIM workflows function in real design and construction projects, giving them the confidence to take on similar architectural BIM projects in a professional setting.
