What happens in Vegas doesn’t have to stay there. We share five key takeaways from the 2016 Autodesk University event, complete with links to watch some of the best sessions online.
What were the key themes at Autodesk University 2016?
With such a varied programme it’s hard to single out just a handful of key themes, it’s well worth searching on hashtag #AU2016 to get a flavour, but here are some of the ideas that stood out for us…
1. The future of BIM will not be BIM…
Bill Allen, co-founder and partner of EvolveLAB BIM Consulting looked to the future of intelligent construction in his Autodesk University keynote.
With advancements in generative design, software algorithms, and robotic construction, we are set to move from Building Information Modelling to Building Information Optimisation.
Rather than manually drawing walls, doors, and columns for what we think is a good design, we will feed the computer “rules” instructing it to give us a building’s optimal footprint, structural load capacity, and thermal performance.
So what does this future look like and how do we prepare for it? Bill’s session served as a survival guide.
