Autodesk Forma Team
Autodesk Forma, available in the AEC Collection or as a standalone subscription, offers powerful AI-powered tools for architects and designers in pre-design and schematic design phases.
Drees & Sommer, an international consulting firm specializing in construction, real estate, and infrastructure, has developed a fully cloud-based workflow using Autodesk Forma to confidently tackle the challenges of data center design. They’re complex projects involving tight deadlines and careful coordination between different disciplines to meet specific energy and spatial requirements and regulations.
In this workflow, Forma acts as the hub in a connected digital ecosystem with tools like Grasshopper, ShapeDiver, Revit, Revizto, and Veras enabling a continuous and accelerated process from concept to design development.
By leveraging Forma, Drees & Sommer can quickly test different options for a site, with the team and consultants collaborating in the same up-to-date model with area metrics, environmental analysis, and visuals from day one. This streamlined approach enhances project efficiency, supports informed decision-making, and reduces risk to improve client outcomes.
“We see Forma as the starting point and platform for our planning strategy. The digital foundation enables us to set up projects from day one in a structured, transparent, and future-ready way,” says Stefan Peckruhn, Senior Expert at Drees & Sommer.
