Cut&Paste Design Slam Returns to Autodesk University

Last year, Autodesk University hosted its first Cut&Paste Design Slam—a  lively on-stage competition in digital industrial design and architecture—that brought top designers from three firms together for two evenings of fast-paced showmanship and quick-witted creativity, and the event was a rousing success.

This year the Cut&Paste Design Slam returns to Autodesk University with a new twist: in one of the competitions Autodesk executives will face-off against each other to design for the legendary British spy James Bond. Should be both entertaining and enlightening.

In each competition this year, designers will create original work in rounds of 20 minutes, using their favorite weapon among a variety of Autodesk 2010 software tools. They will perform in front of a live (and sometime vocal) audience, and their work will be projected on large-scale screens, accompanied by loud and energetic music.

Make sure you leave time for this exciting event in your schedule.  You don’t want to miss it!

BTW, if you’re attending AU Virtual, you too can join the fun. Look for both nights’ competitions in the AU Virtual class catalog, then be sure to reserve your space when you register.
