Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a methodology in advancement in digital systems applied on architecture and construction, generating the creation of new ways of working for the technical coordination of projects.
This system can be applied for the teaching/learning of the architecture students, in order to identify and solve the different issues and elements of a project. An educational methodology was designed in accordance with the teaching of the structural construction process, using 3D simulation models to understand the elements comprising the project, allowing the simulation of the different components of a structural system; excavation, foundation, slabs and beams and anticipate de relationship with the architectural space.
The methodology was used in the teaching process, where the students were able to understand the relationship among the structural components in comprehensive way, its building process and its relationship with the architectural space.
