Abstract

The construction industry in the 21st century is facing huge challenges, especially with the emergence of Building Information Modelling (BIM) technology, which has produced great development in the fields of architecture especially in the interior design.

Now many companies are designing and implementing construction projects using BIM technology. However, the Building & construction sector suffers from a shortage of experts & specialists with (BIM) skills, as there is a huge gap and lack of skills for this technology.

To meet the future needs of (BIM) skills in the labor market, it was necessary to take serious actions to graduates suits the labor market.

In most of the architectural education syllabus in Egypt, there is a gap concerning (BIM) technology as a result, most of the architectural graduates do not have enough knowledge or skills in using (BIM) technology, which creates a large gap between academia, design and construction industry.

This study is based on analysis and understanding of the most important methodologies include (BIM) technology in interior design education syllabus and and identify the most important challenges faced, then try to develop a framework for the methodology of effectively integrating BIM technology within the architectural education syllabus.
This research is based on analyzing and understanding the most important methodologies and trends for integrating building information modeling technology into school curricula, especially industrial, technical, professional, institutes and specialized academies, and on analyzing and comparing current strategies for teaching this technology within architectural education curricula and the most important global experiences and identifying the most important challenges it faced, then studying and analyzing The current status of building information modeling technology in the curricula, whether in technical industrial institutes or universities in Egypt, to reach a proposed framework for the methodology of integrating building information modeling technology within the specialized curricula in the field of interior architecture in Egypt.
