Autodesk Pushes the Boundaries of BIM in the Evolution of the Architect (Part I)
At the AIA 2016 Convention in Philadelphia, starting May 19, architects will gather to explore the cutting-edge trends shaping our profession. This year's highlights include the latest advancements in generative and computational design, cloud collaboration, and the integration of gaming technology into architectural visualization. As leaders in combating climate change, architects are redefining their roles and responsibilities, one design at a time.
Autodesk has long been a trusted partner to architectural professionals, listening, adapting, and innovating alongside them. At this year’s convention, we’re celebrating the rapid evolution of our field and pushing the boundaries of BIM to redefine the architect’s role in the 21st century.
Our booth at AIA 2016, located at 3531, will showcase these innovations and offer a glimpse into the future of architectural design. Gone are the days of solitary drafting tables; today’s architects thrive in collaborative environments that prioritize aesthetics, performance, constructability, and cost efficiency from the very beginning. They work hand-in-hand with engineers, construction consultants, and other stakeholders to bring designs to life.
Even if you can’t make it to the convention, we invite you to join us for a two-part series previewing what you can expect at our booth. First up: BIM is at the heart of everything we do, and extended BIM is now a reality. While many might remember us for AutoCAD, today’s architects rely heavily on Revit. But Revit is just the beginning—our suite of tools connected to the cloud is revolutionizing how architects work.
**Connect Anywhere: A360 Team and A360 Collaboration for Revit**
With teams increasingly distributed and mobile, cloud collaboration is essential. Tools like A360 Team and A360 Collaboration for Revit enable seamless teamwork by centralizing project data in the cloud. Take, for instance, the Los Angeles International Airport Midfield Satellite Concourse project, a massive undertaking involving two global design firms working as a joint venture. Using A360, all stakeholders—from designers to clients—have access to the latest versions of the Revit models, fostering real-time collaboration regardless of location.
This shift toward cloud-based solutions is not just convenient; it’s transformative. Instead of investing in costly physical infrastructure, teams can deploy cloud-based tools and hit the ground running almost immediately. Visit our booth to learn more about how cloud collaboration is reshaping the industry.
**Create Anytime: FormIt 360 and FormIt 360 Pro**
Inspiration can strike anytime, anywhere—and Autodesk’s FormIt 360 and FormIt 360 Pro are designed to capture those moments. Available for free on web browsers and iOS, Android, and Windows devices, FormIt 360 lets architects quickly sketch out ideas in 3D. For those who need more advanced features, FormIt 360 Pro adds real-time collaboration, energy analysis, and access to the Autodesk materials library.
One of the standout features of FormIt 360 Pro is its ability to connect directly with Revit. As Roy Malcolm of DPR Construction notes, “I love how FormIt integrates with Revit—it’s something I always missed with SketchUp.†This seamless transition from conceptual sketches to BIM models ensures that no idea goes to waste.
**Dream, Design Without Limits: Project Fractal and Generative Design**
Generative design represents the future of architectural exploration. By combining algorithms with professional expertise and cloud computing, Project Fractal allows architects to evaluate countless design options in record time. Perkins+Will Atlanta, for example, is using Project Fractal to optimize space planning for a healthcare facility on a tight site, balancing client requirements with local regulations.
If you’re curious about generative design, join us for a special focus group at AIA 2016. Click here to sign up, and don’t forget to check out the video below to see Project Fractal in action.
