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.
Our world is changing, and the way we design our environments much shift accordingly to meet new climate and societal demands. Having accessible context and environmental data from the onset of the design process is key to understanding impacts, unlocking opportunities, and addressing challenges before a project is built.
The Arcadis team implemented the new integration between Autodesk Forma and ArcGIS to bring GIS and BIM into a single platform. Having spatial and environmental analysis integrated into their 3D model enables the team to study their site in more detail, considering multiple factors in parallel. They’re able to work more effectively by centralizing their workflows, making informed decisions using data from day one, and focusing more on creative problem solving rather than be hindered by data management.
This blog post details four shifts in design practice to help architects leverage data to design with resilience in mind:
- Move resilience to the early phase: shifting from a reactive to proactive design approach
- Measure what matters: setting context-specific KPIs that measure both environmental and social values
- Integrate context from 2D to 3D: working in a live 3D model with layers of real-world data that makes impacts tangible
- Enhance intuition with data: combining real-time environmental and spatial data in one platform to make informed decisions, earlier
