This course overviews an introduction to such a collaborative multi author AEC workflows across multiple software platforms like Autodesk Maya, McNeel Rhinoceros and NVIDIA Omniverse, powered by STS and Open USD.

Learn about key early design considerations driven by a project’s climate. This workshop will provide a background introduction to key considerations of climate, from wind, shelter and comfort to natural ventilation, stack effect and wind loading. Get an introduction to the technical theory of each of these considerations, discuss and evaluate opportunities and challenges where early climate responsive design changes can be most impactful.

This workshop will teach you how to use and set up advanced features of the Dalux BIM Viewer, Dalux Box, and Dalux Field. All modules work together so that you can have one platform for the whole project, completely customizable to your unique project requirements.

Skema represents a fundamental step change in the productivity of the architectural workflow. It is the only tool in the AEC ecosystem that turns a firm’s BIM output into inputs for new designs. Skema’s generative design and AI-powered capabilities focus on automating the repetitive parts of the design process.

In this two part class we are going to cover Rhino.Inside.Revit fundamentals as well as work through an advanced facade example with Gensler Architects Computational Designers.

Explore how the Dynamo Forma connection lets you automate workflows in your early stage design phase. Combine the geometry generation of Dynamo and the environmental analyses of Autodesk Forma to find good options for your massing. And further customize calculations on top of Forma In Market data model using Dynamo.

This workshop will introduce participants to core workflows of urban planning, urban design, and landscape design that leverage GIS for processes such as: 3D site context creation, site analysis, zoning, schematic design, scenario comparison and impact assessment, design development, and community engagement.
