About your tutor
I am Vikramaditya Shah Bundela, an architect specialising in architectural design, conservation, and AI integration. With experience across three firms, I have developed diverse skills, from designing and preserving structures to training AI models for architectural applications. Teaching is a passion of mine—I have mentored students and professionals worldwide, both independently and through an architecture education startup. I am proficient in 11+ design tools, including Revit, SketchUp, Rhino 3d, and Autocad Architecture, Photoshop, InDesign, Lumion, D5 Render, Twinmotion and more. I focus on optimising architectural workflows using AI. My dissertation explored AI-driven design automation, and I continue to push the boundaries of technology in the AEC industry. I know 50+ AI tools and always strive to teach the easiest workflow possible.

Class overview
My teaching methodology is centred around interactive, two-way engagement, where I encourage students to actively participate and share their insights—I often learn from them as well. I believe in project-based learning and teach accordingly. I think that students should learn by doing and not just watching tutorials. I focus on teaching the most efficient and optimised workflows for architectural software, ensuring students gain practical expertise that enhances their professional capabilities. My approach emphasises hands-on learning, catering to all skill levels, from beginners to advanced professionals. I challenge students to push their boundaries, refine their skills, and strive for excellence. Teaching is a continuous learning experience for me, and my passion lies in exploring emerging tools and innovations that shape the future of architectural design.

Architecture concepts taught by Vikramaditya Shah
The Student and Tutor worked on refining a SketchUp 3D model of a floor plan, focusing on correcting scaled dimensions and adjusting wall thicknesses. They practiced precisely drawing interior walls using line and push-pull tools, incorporating axis locking for accuracy. The Student was assigned to continue building interior walls and to consider starting the top floor for practice.
Model Setup & Scaling for Accuracy
Organizing Your Model: Groups and Tags (Layers)
Precise Drawing with Axis Locking
Push/Pull Tool (P) for Extrusion and Modification
Effective View Management and Navigation
Geometry Cleanup and Repair Techniques
The Tutor guided the Student through the process of importing and scaling a floor plan image in SketchUp, explaining how to convert PDFs to images for use. They practiced drawing 3D walls to specific dimensions using the line and push-pull tools, including advanced techniques for continuous wall creation and turning corners. The Student was assigned to complete the outer walls as homework and share their progress via a link for follow-up.

Scaling and Locking Reference Images in SketchUp
Organizing Models with Tags (Layers) and Standard Views
Creating 3D Walls using Line and Push/Pull Tools
Applying and Managing Textures/Materials
The Student and Tutor worked on resolving critical modeling issues in a Revit architectural project. They focused on correctly setting up levels, refining the topo solid for proper building integration, and establishing accurate wall constraints and attachments. The Student was assigned to fix wall heights and constraints in the basement area of their model.

Attaching Walls to Roofs and Floors
Revit Model Clean-up and Rebuilding Strategy
The Student and Tutor worked on setting up and running energy and carbon emissions analysis for a student accommodation design using Autodesk Revit. They reviewed and identified several modeling issues in the Student's Revit file that need to be corrected for accurate analysis. The Tutor demonstrated how to interpret carbon insights data and set various building and system parameters for sustainable design, assigning the Student to fix the model and research the analytical settings.
Revit Model Refinement for Accurate Analysis
Energy and Carbon Analysis Workflow in Revit
Understanding U-Value and Glazing Thermal Performance
Distinguishing Embodied vs. Operational Carbon/Energy
Interpreting Analysis Results and Benchmarking
The Tutor and Student discussed various strategies for making a building design more sustainable, focusing on material selection, energy systems, and analytical tools. They explored the use of crop waste-derived wall panels, geothermal heating, and other efficient technologies. The plan for the next session includes analyzing the Student's existing Revit model to quantify current energy performance and subsequently implement sustainable changes.
