This year's Symposium on Simulation for Architecture and Urban Design (SimAUD) is starting on Thursday April 15th and runs through to Saturday April 17th. Thanks to sponsorship, people can attend this year's SimAUD completely free, although people are being encouraged to donate their normal registration fee to either offset carbon emissions or to encourage the […]

Next week the Finnish Association of Civil Engineers (RIL) is holding a virtual conference on the use of Artificial Intelligence in Architecture, Engineering and Construction called AI in AEC 2021. The agenda looks really compelling. These are the presentation tracks, to give you a sense for the topics covered: Data Driven Design Generative Design Impactful […]

At the beginning of March our Developer Advocacy and Support team will be running its annual series of DevDays Online events. The first week will focus on public information – mainly news related to the Forge platform – while the second week will be for Autodesk Developer Network members, and focus mainly on our desktop […]

I've been invited to talk about Project Dasher at the KEA BIM Café Talk on Wednesday of this week. Many thanks to Aske Strandberg for organising and moderating this event. It's being held online (of course) at 4pm CET on Wednesday September 16th. The session is primarily targeted at students from KEA – the Copenhagen […]

This has been a strange week, at least in terms of dreams. I mentioned earlier in the week (on Twitter and LinkedIn) that I'd had a dream about Autodesk University where I was only partially present: I was running between meetings while everyone else was having fun attending sessions and hanging out at social events.

This post is a bit of a grab-bag of various event-related topics. The first one (chronologically, if not in terms of the title above) is the availability of session recordings from the recent CanBIM event: "The Future of Work: Designing Resiliency and Building Work Safety Post-COVID". My own session was entitled "Using Generative Design and […]

I've just realised that time is running out for people to submit their class proposals for AU 2020. The deadline is on June 22nd, which is this coming Monday. From my side I'm almost certainly going to submit a class to discuss the details of the work we've been doing on post-COVID return-to-workplace efforts. Essentially […]

I have the sense that I'm seeing my face too much at the moment (admittedly I'm very attached to it… haha). All I can say, in my defence, is that over the last few weeks I've started to receive more requests to participate in virtual activities. And I've mostly said yes, as it's a reasonable […]

As a follow-up to the last post which talked about SimAUD and it's going online, today I wanted to mention some other online resources that might also be of interest to people during these times. The Institute of Technology in Architecture (ITA) at ETH Zurich is one of many institutions that have moved their public […]

Next week is the annual Symposium on Simulation for Architecture and Urban Design (SimAUD, pronounced Sim-Odd). This conference was started a decade ago by my former manager Azam Khan, along with Gabriel Wainer and Ramtin Attar. I've only had the pleasure of attending one SimAUD event – the 2018 edition was held in the Netherlands […]
