Megascale, Microdata: How Revit and Computation Enabled Global Coordination on a Supertall Tower
North Bund Lot 91 is a 480-meter, all-electric tower rising in Shanghai. On it, global teams at KPF used computational workflows to manage geometric complexity and streamline international collaboration. This session will explore how Rhino, Grasshopper, Microsoft Excel, and Rhino.Inside.Revit software were used alongside Revit software and Autodesk Forma to coordinate a megaproject at an unprecedented scale. By exchanging data instead of geometry and scripting the transfer of rationalized façade systems across platforms, the team ensured accuracy, constructability, and design fidelity throughout. We’ll show how these workflows helped the team document more than 20,000 façade panels, manage input from consultants around the world, and maintain a single source of truth in Revit. This session will demonstrate how computational thinking isn’t just for form generation—it’s the key to delivering the next generation of complex, collaborative architecture.

Get Your Head in the Cloud: Latest Interoperability Updates for Revit, Autodesk Forma, Forma Data Management, and More
Exchanging project data between applications is a favorite problem in architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC): Offices need to manage the risk involved in undersharing and oversharing. Collaborators need to understand if they're working on the same version of a project. And data formats must be compatible. While desktop software systems are the powerhouses driving design and engineering workflows, teams need to communicate beyond their desks, often through distributed cloud interfaces that change rapidly. The software development teams for Revit software, Autodesk Forma, and Forma Data Management have created multiple ways to address interoperability problems, and have had hundreds of hours of conversations with project clients and AEC professionals about what does and doesn't work. The most-promising methods include rapidly evolving cloud applications that change and improve constantly. This class will summarize these findings, identify the most-recent tools available to solve interoperability challenges, and look down the road to emerging methods for teams to share data.
