future of making things for aec overview
TRANSCRIPT
The Future of Making Things Architecture, Engineering & Construction
Amar Hanspal, Sr. Vice President, Autodesk @amarhanspal #eraofconnection
The Pantheon’s dome is an impressive example of…
…disruptive innovation
Built in the 2nd century A.D.
Over 4500 tons and a
diameter of over 40 meters
Innovative Roman
contractors applied thinner
and lighter concrete at
greater heights
Sunken panels lighten the
structural load
SF MOMA is a modern example of disruptive innovation
Complex 3D geometry of the rippled façade relied on digital fabrication to produce
700 façade panels
Renderings provided a near realistic view of the building in the context of its
downtown location
Built-in sensors will improve water and energy efficiency
Today, design and construction of buildings and
infrastructure are once again being disrupted.
PRODUCTS
There are three disruptive elements at play

PRODUCTION
DEMAND
1. The physical and intellectual means of production

The way we create, manage, and share ideas
INTELLECTUAL PRODUCTION
The way we turn designs into physical things
PHYSICAL PRODUCTION
DEMAND
2. The nature of demand

Higher expectations for quality, safety, resiliency,
sustainability, and cost are the norm
Greater participation in decision-making is expected

3. The real and digital worlds are merging
– products are becoming services
Physical and digital interconnections create new
opportunities for value

Infrastructure elements are now part of the
interconnected digital system
Collectively, these disruptions add up to the biggest
change in buildings and infrastructure since the
industrial revolution, maybe even before
But, what does it mean for technology?
To get the future, we first must look at the past.
The evolution of digital design
From pencil and paper to CAD
The era of
DOCUMENTATION
Even a good drawing is still just a drawing…enter BIM
The era of OPTIMIZATION
Today, intelligent models help to optimize physical and
performance characteristics
But disruption is happening all around us.
…So what next?
Welcome to the Era of Connection

INSIGHTS
Breaking down the barriers between physical and digital
worlds provides an entirely different way to generate
shapes and explore design decisions
Access enormous amounts of data; automatically
generate 3D models that adapt to existing conditions
