Imagine walking a design site before it’s ever built, with grading, buildings, and utilities unfolding around you in full context. Immersive Digital Workplaces make that possible, turning project models into shared experiences that improve communication and bring teams into alignment before construction begins. In this fast-paced, high-level session, three voices from civil design, immersive technology, and construction will share insights from the field. Rather than a technical deep dive, this session offers a big-picture look at how immersive Digital Workplaces are bridging disciplines, reducing errors, and clarifying complex data throughout the project lifecycle. When stakeholders can visualize a design in its environment, they are empowered to make faster, more confident decisions. Join us to explore how immersive workflows support better outcomes from concept through construction.

One of the biggest challenges in is getting disciplines to work together, sharing data and information in real time. Whether technical, organizational, or cultural, silos slow progress, create inefficiencies, and keep teams from reaching their full potential. This panel brings together industry leaders who are actively climbing that mountain. Through candid conversation, they’ll share real-world struggles, setbacks, and the steps they’re taking to reach higher ground. Expect honest insights, bold ideas, and practical strategies to break down barriers, improve communication, and build stronger, more connected teams. If you’re navigating the uphill journey of , this session is your chance to pause, gain perspective, and gather the tools needed to keep moving forward together.

Revit enables detailed 3D parametric modeling. And Tandem integrates telemetry data to monitor system performance. You’ll learn how Digital Prototypings enhance operational performance, reduce the need for on-site visits, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and improve collaboration between stakeholders. Explore the transformative potential of Digital Prototyping platforms for advancing sustainable asset management, conserving resources, and increasing infrastructure resilience in environmental restoration.

In this session, we'll explore creating a custom lifecycle assessment (LCA) pipeline for our international practice's complex needs. We'll tackle the challenges of traditional tools, which often falter in integrating with various project-specific building information modeling (BIM) standards and local requirements, and generally relegate LCA to a terminal project phase rather than using it in the design process. Our motivation to develop our own workflow arose from existing solutions being "black boxes" that fail to accommodate different levels of detail needed for design stages. Our pipeline not only offers flexible calculations, but it also aids in documenting and benchmarking construction systems. This development was achieved through collaboration within our design technologies team and extensive interactions with industry peers, resulting in a scalable, effective tool. Attendees will gain insights from our case studies and learn about our process, which improves efficiency and transparency in environmental assessments.

Daiwa House has been striving to achieve building information modeling (BIM) mandate in-house since 2017, and it has achieved many results, but not enough to maximize value. In order to create further business value and establish a solid foundation where the company can benefit from future technology innovations, we're evolving our data strategy and working with Autodesk Consulting on the Digital Daiwa House project. To achieve the goal, we're working on implementing a higher level of BIM maturity while increasing the maturity of the data required for construction projects. We're also working on the configurator as a mechanism to convert structured/standardized data into business value. The configurator links data throughout the project lifecycle and enhances the coordination of each stakeholder. In proportion to the maturity of BIM and data, capabilities in the configurator improve. We are aiming to achieve such an evolving configurator.

Let's face it, emissions from the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry are too high and one of the key issues is there are no agreed-upon processes for measuring embodied carbon. Join this panel discussion to hear a deep dive into how a group of companies conducted a proof of concept (POC) to address this complexity. Under the auspices of the World Business Council for Sustainable Development, Autodesk and six AEC leading companies—AECOM, Arcadis, Arup, Foster + Partners, Ramboll, and SOM—spent more than six months on this POC. The cohort of building information modeling (BIM) and sustainability experts from the various firms investigated the processes behind translating BIM data into material quantities to measure embodied carbon (EC). The goal: Identify best practices toward establishing industry-wide guidelines for EC analysis to create actionable benchmarks. Join this fascinating technical discussion into how we aligned, agreed on assumptions, and drew conclusions. Hear how these POC insights might help decarbonize the industry from our contributors: Paul Astle (Ramboll), Javier Sanchez Hernandez (AECOM), Laura Gomez Hernandez (AECOM), Caoimhe Loftus (Arcadis), Ian Lumsden (Arup), Blerina Celniku (Foster and Partners), Monica Lucas (Ramboll), Eric Stimmel (SOM), and Mirko Farnetani (SOM).

Are you interested in using building information modeling (BIM) data through dashboards to drive projects forward?

In this session, we'll demonstrate how to effectively integrate Autodesk Forma software's carbon analysis tools with Rhino software's modeling capabilities, presenting a novel workflow that allows the evaluation of multiple designs simultaneously. Understand best practices for organizing data in Rhino. Learn methods to quickly incorporate insights from Autodesk Forma back into Rhino for ongoing design iteration. Discover strategies you can use to dramatically reduce the time spent on evaluating carbon impacts, achieving vast efficiency improvements, while maximizing design quality and minimizing environmental impact.

Maintaining drawing accuracy is critical to architecture, engineering, and construction designs. However, due to the complexity of collaboration, encountering inaccuracies is almost inevitable. Research indicates that more than 80% of customers have encountered inaccuracies within drawing elements. If not addressed, these inaccuracies could lead to additional time spent on corrections, or even costly overruns if ignored. AutoCAD software and its associated applications offer batch tools to assist customers in rectifying errors individually or in bulk. This guide will offer a detailed review of the current drawing cleanup tools, outlining their advantages and drawbacks. Additionally, we'll explore possibilities for early-stage error identification to prevent wide proliferation of inaccuracies.

A cross-industry technology fusion! We used Autodesk Generative Design software to create an adaptive connector bracket for robot-operated 3D scans of ancient structures. ReCap software and Dynamo helped us study traditional construction methods and enrich our restoration efforts. This report covers our process in Autodesk Fusion 360 software, including entering design parameters and extracting constraints from the historical site. It explains how we turned the bracket's requirements into criteria for rapid iteration and selection, quickly finding the best solution. It also explains how ReCap processed robot-collected point cloud data to investigate architectural principles and features of ancient buildings in Southern China. Finally, it describes how Dynamo converted these insights into automated building information modeling (BIM) scripting, bridging historical knowledge with modern technology for efficient restoration practices.
