Each year, keynote speakers paint a hopeful vision for the future of architecture and construction, present exciting new developments that promise to transform the way we design and build. This year, though, there was clear recognition of the need for Autodesk, its partners and its users to respond to the immense challenges of our changing world, bringing a welcome dose of realism to the stage.<\/p>\n<p>President and CEO Andrew Anagnost opened Autodesk University 2019 by speaking to these challenges, and acknowledged the fact that technology can have both positive <em>and <\/em>negative impacts, depending on how it is used. Rapid urbanization and climate resiliency were among the hot topics addressed, but the construction industry\u2019s conflicted relationship with automation was arguably at the top of the agenda.<\/p>\n<p>Anagnost tackled the issue head on. \u201cWe all know that automation is having an impact on jobs, but it is creating the opportunity for more <em>meaningful<\/em> work,\u201d he argued.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_56445\" style=\"width: 1870px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-56445\" class=\"lazy lazy_media_item wp-image-56445 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/6thAve-Marriott_Vignette_CRANE-FINAL_no-blur.jpg\" alt=\"autodesk university 2019 automation architecture\" width=\"1860\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/6thAve-Marriott_Vignette_CRANE-FINAL_no-blur.jpg 1860w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/6thAve-Marriott_Vignette_CRANE-FINAL_no-blur-300x174.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/6thAve-Marriott_Vignette_CRANE-FINAL_no-blur-768x446.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/6thAve-Marriott_Vignette_CRANE-FINAL_no-blur-1024x595.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1860px) 100vw, 1860px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-56445\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Skystone relies on Autodesk products throughout the building process of the world\u2019s tallest modular hotel, soon to be erected in Manhattan; image courtesy Autodesk<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p>The examples showcased at this expo constituted compelling evidence in support of this hypothesis. First, Anagnost highlighted the work of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skystone.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Skystone<\/a>, a construction company that is pioneering new design solutions using prefabrication. Skystone is harnessing Autodesk\u2019s suite of tools \u2014 including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/revit\/overview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Revit<\/a> for design, <a href=\"https:\/\/assemblesystems.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Assemble<\/a> for preconstruction and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/bim-360\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BIM 360<\/a> for construction management \u2014 to create the prefabricated units for Marriot\u2019s new hotel in New York. The $65 million, 360-foot tall AC Hotel New York NoMad is set to be the world\u2019s tallest modular hotel.<\/p>\n<p>The technology allows Skystone to craft each module using a single model, radically speeding up the process of sourcing materials, refining details and coordinating the prefabrication process itself. While modular design is nothing new, Revit and BIM 360 offers designers new ways to surface optimal configurations and save valuable time, while reducing friction between consultants and manufacturers.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_56447\" style=\"width: 4170px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-56447\" class=\"lazy lazy_media_item wp-image-56447 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_20160412_142529-edited.jpg\" alt=\"autodesk university 2019 automation architecture\" width=\"4160\" height=\"3120\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_20160412_142529-edited.jpg 4160w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_20160412_142529-edited-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_20160412_142529-edited-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_20160412_142529-edited-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_20160412_142529-edited-66x50.jpg 66w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 4160px) 100vw, 4160px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-56447\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Fully completed hotel room modules traverse the Atlantic Ocean on a container ship from Poland to New York Harbor; image courtesy Autodesk<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p>The emergence of generative design has been a source of both excitement and anxiety throughout the AEC industry, with some concerned that <a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/blog\/inspiration\/industry\/finch-automatic-plan-generator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the rise of AI could lead to a loss of jobs<\/a> across disciplines. Anagnost sought to calm these fears by highlighting new projects under development for aircraft manufacturer <a href=\"https:\/\/adsknews.autodesk.com\/news\/autodesk-airbus-generative-design-aerospace-factory\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Airbus<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>As well as using generative design and additive manufacturing to optimize the tail and wings of their aircraft \u2014 advancing the ideas showcased in <a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/blog\/practice\/tools\/bionic-partitions-the-living\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Living&#8217;s A+Award-winning &#8220;bionic partition&#8221;<\/a> \u2014 Airbus is utilizing the technology to design a \u201cfactory of the future\u201d.

While cloud-based collaboration, modular construction and generative design are not new concepts, they are finally becoming normalized and increasingly adopted by an industry which is notoriously resistant to change.<\/p>\n<p>The expo floor itself was as entertaining as ever, full to overflowing with incredible gadgets for use in the architecture studio and on the construction site. From surveying robots and concrete printers to real-time rendering apps and modeling plugins, they gave a glimpse of the technology looking to transform the construction industry. Ultimately though, it is the way in which this technology is harnessed by professionals \u2014 and the way in which it helps to connect disparate AEC disciplines \u2014 that will determine whether Autodesk\u2019s biggest mission is successful.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless, if this year\u2019s exemplar projects are an accurate indication, those at the forefront of architectural innovation look well set to face the challenges of tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>For more from Autodesk University 2019, check out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/architizer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">our Instagram feed<\/a>, and follow us for future event coverage!<\/p>\n<p><em>Architects: Showcase your next project through\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/architizer.com\/register\/\">Architizer<\/a>\u00a0and sign up for our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/mailchi.mp\/architizer\/newslettersubscribe\">inspirational newsletter<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Autodesk University 2019 showcased new uses for automation in design and construction \u2014 and reminded us all why it&#8217;s nothing to be afraid of.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":56437,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"architizer_featured_type":"insert","architizer_featured_image":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9,3],"tags":[],"architizer_project":[],"architizer_brand":[],"architizer_firm":[],"architizer_product":[],"class_list":["post-56433","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-industry","category-inspiration"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
