While at Autodesk University 2018 in Las Vegas, my friend and co-presenter – Lorenzo Villaggi – and I were invited by Jacqueline Rohrmann – known to many of you as That BIM Girl – to talk to her (and her YouTube viewers) about generative design, and specifically the tool we helped create for Van Wijnen […]

Yesterday I headed across to Esslingen, a town south-east from Zurich, to meet with a large Swiss customer of ours, Basler & Hofmann. They're an independent engineering, planning and consulting company with 600 employees in 4 countries (although most are based here in Switzerland). One of the reasons for meeting in Esslingen was the chance […]

Among other things, this week, I've been trying to kick-off my AU2018 catch-up viewing. So far I've just had the chance to fill in the keynotes that I missed, so I thought I'd collect those that I could find together for others to view. The first keynote of the Monday's pre-conference events was that of […]

Like many of you (with some countries unfortunately having been excluded due to privacy regulations) I've just received an awesome customized video about this year's Autodesk University. Here's a link to the one I received, in case you didn't get one yourself. I'm guessing they didn't actually record a custom video – perhaps by training […]

Here's a photo of Dieter having a turn as DJ at the recent DynaNoche at AU Las Vegas. While the webinar's title mentions computational […]

I'm on the train home after a whirlwind week in Las Vegas. Another great AU is "in the bag" and I'm looking forward to getting home to my family. But first a quick recap of the week… I arrived on Saturday night, as usual, and managed to get a decent first night's sleep. On Sunday […]

I'm very glad to be able to share the news that Project Refinery is now available as a public Beta. This is the optioneering and optimization engine for Dynamo that Autodesk Research has been using to implement the "generative urban design" workflow for Van Wijnen. It allows you to generate 1000s of solutions to a […]

I was hoping to be able to announce something exciting today, but it looks like I'm going to have to wait until Monday. In the meantime, here's a quick taste of what you're going to see next week. Exciting times! 🙂 If you're coming to Las Vegas, next week, you'll be able to hear more […]

We're in the last few days before the biggest week in my calendar: Autodesk University in Las Vegas. As usual I'm trying my best to conserve strength in the week before the trip, as if preparing for a marathon. (There's actually a half-marathon in Las Vegas on Sunday, so a number of AU attendees are […]

Some of you may have seen the interview on Engineering.com with our new CTO, Scott Borduin. If you don't already know Scott, I recommend reading it to get a sense of who he is as a person. Today's post is both to welcome Scott to his new role and to wish our former CTO, Jeff […]
