This week I decided to take the WebVR/WebXR extension work I did for Van Wijnen to the next level: mainly to integrate metric information in some way into the scene, whether as 3D text objects or via some kind of Heads-Up Display (HUD). But before embarking on this I decided to take another look at […]

Some good news for people who thought they'd missed their chance to speak at this year's Autodesk University in London: the Call For Proposals (CFP) for AU London 2019 has been extended until January 25th, 2019. I love Autodesk University events in general, but the London edition – which I attended for the first time […]

Today I'm back in the Swiss town of Brugg, to give a talk about Generative Design to a group of Masters students at the FHNW. (In case you don't recognise the reference, the title of today's post is a probably-overly-subtle nod to the Oscar-nominated, 2008 film "In Bruges": Brugge is the Flemish name for Bruges, […]

It's time to talk about a little project I started over the holiday break: connecting Project Refinery – the optimization engine for Dynamo that will help drive Generative Design workflows – to Virtual Reality. It's a project I've been thinking about for some time, now, and was originally inspired by two things: the workflow Van […]

Today is our last day of work for this calendar year. I spent it in our Gumligen office – Autodesk's main office now in Switzerland – where we had a workshop in the morning followed by a raclette for lunch. Many thanks to all of those involved in organising and preparing the meal: it was […]

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 […]

I've been having a lot of fun working on projects I can't really blog about, this week – on the one hand hacking Refinery to add some new UI features I thought would be interesting to explore, and on the other hand working in Dynamo to make some architectural changes to the Van Wijnen tool […]

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 […]

My friend Dieter Vermeulen will be presenting a free, 1-hour webinar at 11am GMT on December 6, 2018, about how Computational Design can improve automation and optimization in the AEC industry. 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 […]
