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.
This blog post is adapted from the Autodesk University 2025 session: From Site Planning to BIM with AI: Accelerating Early-Stage Design with Finch and Forma Site Design.

Executive summary
A smooth integration between Forma Site Design, Finch, and Revit connects traditionally siloed workflows between the concept design and design development phases that cause rework and hinder collaboration.
Architects can set up a geo-located project in Forma Site Design and explore and analyze their massing concepts, send their proposals to Finch for AI-generated layouts and then into Revit to fast-track the BIM process–all within hours, not weeks.
Efficiency gains free up more time for meaningful creative work and problem solving, instead of manual tasks, that leads to better project outcomes.
