Autodesk Launches Forma Building Design with AI Integration for Architectural Schematic Phase
Autodesk has unveiled Forma Building Design, a tool aimed at schematic design for initial architectural investigations. This platform facilitates quick site configurations, automates the creation of facades and floor plans, and enables performance assessments through analyses of daylight, sun exposure, and carbon impact. Sandra Petkute Roberts from Arcadis emphasized its ability to connect early and detailed design processes. Forma Carbon Insights is now part of Forma Building Design and Revit, allowing for preliminary carbon impact evaluations. Autodesk has also rolled out Revit as the inaugural Forma Connected Client in Tech Preview, promoting smooth data exchange between Forma Site Design, Forma Building Design, and Revit. All subscribers of Revit can utilize Forma tools, with AI enhancements being integrated into Revit, AutoCAD, Civil 3D, and InfoWater Pro for improved workflows.
