This all results in faster decision making and reduced physical prototyping.

 

With groundbreaking innovation and a growing number of more advanced AI technologies around every corner of the AECO and MFG industries, it can sometimes be daunting to understand not only how, but where and more importantly when you should get started on tackling the onslaught of AI that can and likely will affect the workflow of many inside these industries. In this session, learn how the latest workstation technology from Lenovo, NVIDIA and Intel, industry trends and updates can transform the industry you work in, and get help demystifying buzz-word AI bingo vs. real-world workflows that your teams operate in every day

Artificial intelligence (AI) and extended reality (XR) are changing how we design, collaborate, and learn. Whether it’s automating repetitive tasks, improving real-time collaboration, or creating immersive training environments, these technologies are making workflows faster and more interactive. This session will explore practical ways AI and XR are being used across design, architecture, and media. We’ll look at how AI enhances creativity and speeds up ideation, how XR helps teams visualize ideas before they’re built, and how these tools are transforming training by making learning more hands-on and accessible. Rather than replacing human skills, AI and XR are becoming essential tools for designers, engineers, and educators. This session will share real-world examples of how they’re shaping the —and how you can integrate them into your own practice.

Generative model data—such as photogrammetry and generative artificial intelligence (gen AI)—is becoming more and more pervasive in our daily work as we visualize experiences for our customers. While this generative content might look okay at first glance, upon further inspection we see that it’s far from being production ready. So, how do we turn it into something that we can use? Using 3ds Max software, we’ll cover various tools and functionality that can easily clean up and improve this data so you can use it as a positive force multiplier in your productions.

How do you turn one of the most recognized buildings in the United States into an immersive digital experience? This case study will present the development behind an innovative immersive installation created in partnership with Cortina Productions and the White House Historical Association. Using real-time rendering and radar touch technology, a rectangular exhibition space was transformed into multiple rooms of the White House in The People’s House. We’ll walk through the project’s inception, from the 3D scanning of artifacts to the resolution of visual discrepancies between digital architecture and the physical limitations. A central challenge of the project was translating the rooms—each with unique dimensions and architectural features—into a single rectangular physical space, without sacrificing immersion. The talk will cover strategies for preserving historical accuracy while working efficiently, including the challenges of scale, optimization, material research, and accessibility.

The municipality of Brownsville, PA, boasts many historic structures, but many are in danger of being lost. Sadly, one such cluster of buildings with wonderful brick facades became unsafe, and they were demolished in 2020. But what if those buildings had been rescued and incorporated into a new development? Using digital tools like Revit software, Civil 3D software, and Twinmotion, the site along Market Street with its lost facades was used as the location for a hypothetical mixed-use development that included retail, commercial, dining, and live/work spaces. This reimagining began with a laser scan of the area fortuitously taken just months before the demolition. This survey and the subsequent project were done in partnership with municipal authorities and Autodesk. The result is a fictional redevelopment located on this very real site. Best of all, it is now included with Revit 2024 software as the new sample project! Join us for a look behind the scenes at the very "real” process used to create this "unreal” project.

Learn how we took a concept idea from inception to construction using virtual reality (VR) tools. We'll begin by stepping through design meetings, reviews, and daily design working sessions. The course will highlight how VR can be an effective, efficient design tool—not just a cool idea. We'll demonstrate how to make design team members comfortable in headsets in order to engage project teams to provide valuable feedback about design, possible construction issues, and operational hurdles. You'll learn ways to integrate VR into design and project visualization. In addition, we'll touch on overcoming obstacles and challenges that can arise when implementing VR into your normal workflow.

This topic was nominated as the focal topic for Autodesk CEO's investor relations AEC Q1 earnings call on May 28th. The pandemic has accelerated the use of technology in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry. As we all settle into the "new normal,” there has been significant technological change. We can no longer create the same traditional design teams and expect to deliver on all of the coming infrastructure work. We must rethink how we build our teams to support all of our clients' needs. As we look to capitalize on immersive collaboration platforms, such as The Wild, we are adding entirely new skill sets and resources to our design teams, including immersive media specialists, digital delivery experts, trainers, and adoption strategists. This is enabling rapid growth to our business and changing the way we deliver our infrastructure projects. As a result, we're developing novel adoption strategies to ensure long-term success for our clients in this new digital reality.

As AI rapidly advances, we stand at the crossroads of AI's immense potential and the risk and challenges it brings. How will this revolutionary technology affect our workflows and jobs? Join us to learn how the latest AI innovations can accelerate creativity, visualization, and simulation instead of replacing our skills. Get an inside look at experimental projects that transform co-creation between designers and AI. With the right mindset and tools, we can harness AI as a partner to accelerate our creativity, not replace it. Be part of the AI revolution and discover how to co-create the future of accelerated design and creativity!

The East Bank project—located in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, London, United Kingdom—provided a rare opportunity to push the boundaries of what's possible in terms of building information modeling (BIM) collaboration and digital delivery. With more than 280 live intelligent models across five buildings, Allies and Morrison, BuroHappold, and Mace had to establish a digital strategy that could facilitate collaborative working across an international team, with a wide range of skills across 70 design and construction teams. This presentation will start from the humble beginnings in the early concept stages, and will take you through the evolution of the BIM strategy over eight years. We'll touch on everything from the use of virtual reality (VR) technology in the design process to complex 3D coordination exercises before the fabrication of building components. Finally, we'll present our use of data analytics platforms to track the development of building asset data, for use in the operation of the buildings.

In today's rapidly evolving technological landscape, workstations stand as pivotal tools that catalyze innovation and drive efficiency across a spectrum of industries. This presentation sheds light on recent innovations in workstations impacting the building design/construction, product manufacturing, and media and entertainment industries. Driven by the rapid implementation of new Autodesk tools and integrated add-ins, these industries are continually pushing the limits of computational requirements. In other words, the software "monster" that we have created (and love) needs to be properly fed. In this session we will discuss innovation in CPU, GPU, I/O, and workstation engineering that can benefit the complex 3D, VR, AI, and Reality Capture workflows.
