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
Student and Tutor collaborated to integrate a Revit building model into Autodesk Forma for environmental performance analysis. They focused on troubleshooting the import process, accurately positioning the building on its site within Revit, and syncing the refined model back to Forma. The Student was assigned to perform initial 'base case' analyses in Forma for a presentation, with plans to develop a 'design case' in a subsequent session.

Troubleshooting Revit-Forma Sync Issues
Base Case and Sustainable Design Case Analysis in Forma
Precise Model Positioning and Alignment in Revit
Enhanced Revit-Forma Model Integration Workflow
The Student and Tutor troubleshot a Revit model issue involving a floating terrain chunk and an incorrectly offset wall. They then focused on setting up an energy analysis model in Revit, including assigning locations, defining spaces and zones, and configuring detailed energy and material properties. The session concluded with troubleshooting issues encountered during energy model generation and planning to continue the analysis in an upcoming session or via Forma.

Troubleshooting Analytical Model Creation
The Student and Tutor worked on refining a Revit architectural model, focusing on fixing roof geometry, adjusting floor levels, and ensuring airtight connections between elements using specialized cutting tools. They also installed and discussed the application of various energy analysis plugins for future assessments. Follow-up tasks include further model tightening, strategic window placement, and initiating the energy optimization setup.

Revit Plugin Integration for Analysis
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.

Organizing Your Model: Groups and Tags (Layers)
Model Setup & Scaling for Accuracy
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.

Creating 3D Walls using Line and Push/Pull Tools
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.
