David Benjamin, Director of AEC Industry Futures, Autodesk: The built environment is expected to double in 40 years, but the greenest building is the one that already exists.
Kathleen Abbott, Global Business Development Officer, Arcadis: So the opportunity to impact our global carbon footprint is around renovating and retrofitting existing building stock.
Benjamin: We've been working with Arcadis to pilot new technology to use AI to see inside walls as a kind of X-ray vision, to make it easier and faster to reuse existing buildings.
Mansoor Kazerouni, Global Director of Architecture and Urbanism, Arcadis: Imagine if you didn't have to tear down the walls in an existing building to see what's within them. AI enables us to see all of that without demolishing a single thing. If something took a team of people three or four days, AI could do it with one person in a matter of hours.
Abbott: Arcadis is really excited to be partnering with Autodesk, looking at ways we can use AI to solve our clients' biggest challenges.
Kazerouni: We've gone from being adopters of Autodesk technology to co-innovators.
Benjamin: The future of AI and architecture is about leapfrogging traditional workflows to achieve some of the things that matter most, like creating a more sustainable world.
Abbott: While you're on this journey around AI, it's super critical to be agile and responsive and think about the partners that you're working with.
Kazerouni: And I'm really, really excited about where Autodesk and Arcadis can continue to collaborate to make AI an even more integral part of our process.
