Autodesk Extends the Power of Generative Design to Architecture, Engineering and Construction Industries
For years, Autodesk has partnered with globally recognized companies such as Airbus, Volkswagen Group, and others to explore the potential of generative design. This innovative technology has helped these organizations tackle complex design challenges and adopt more sustainable manufacturing approaches. But what if this same speed and scalability could be applied beyond manufacturing—by architects, engineers, and contractors?
Throughout the lifecycle of a building project, architects, engineers, and contractors face a wide range of common challenges. These can vary from simple to highly complex, often leading to time-consuming and costly revisions. At Autodesk, we dedicate significant effort to developing solutions that address these challenges, working closely with our customers to ensure they have the tools needed for success.
Introducing: Generative Design in Autodesk Revit 2021.
Building on our extensive experience with generative design in manufacturing, Autodesk is excited to bring this powerful technology to the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industries through Revit 2021. This feature is available within the AEC Collection and allows users to explore, optimize, and evaluate data-driven design alternatives based on specific project goals, constraints, and inputs.
With generative design in Revit, professionals can leverage algorithmic problem-solving to quickly generate design options, identify better outcomes, and make informed decisions faster than ever before. By using these tools directly within Revit, designers can create optimal solutions for any given goal or constraint in just minutes. The results are presented visually, making it easy to explore different options, and include interactive graphs for sorting, selecting, and filtering.
These visualizations help teams understand the impact of various design choices and make more confident decisions early in the process. This not only saves time but also improves collaboration with stakeholders, ensuring that projects move forward smoothly and efficiently.
Nicolas Mangon, vice president of Autodesk AEC Business Strategy, explains: “With the launch of Generative Design in Revit, we’re accelerating the design process and enabling AEC Collection users to explore design solutions for any given project, faster than ever before. Leveraging generative design capabilities, our customers may now be more confident in the design decisions they are making, optimize workflows, and have more productive conversations with project stakeholders.â€
Customer Feedback
The development of Generative Design in Revit wasn’t done in isolation. In fact, none of our technologies reach the market without customer input and testing. When our customers are satisfied, we know we're on the right track.
Based in the Netherlands since 1926, Stamhuis is a leader in retail shop design and renovation. As one of our earliest beta users, they provided valuable feedback throughout the development of Generative Design in Revit. From supermarkets to restaurants and convenience stores, their team approaches each project as a collaborative effort, creating customized solutions tailored to specific retail needs. They explored the benefits of generative design for time and cost savings.
“Generative Design in Revit gives our team the power to generate possible options and narrow down on the best solutions during the design phase—an important period for both time and cost savings,†said Ron Rijkers, team manager for BIM and Innovation at Stamhuis. “We’re now able to create better insights and make better decisions early on in our client collaborations, and we’re excited to uncover additional applications for the technology moving forward.â€
Royal HaskoningDHV, headquartered in the Netherlands, is an engineering and project management consultancy focused on sustainable development and innovation across multiple industries. Their team sees great value in applying generative design in a maritime context.
“In the planning of shipyards, our team needs to explore options with our clients, understand their needs, and confidently demonstrate that our proposed solutions meet them,†explained Dan Peel, principal engineer at Royal HaskoningDHV. “We expect generative design to be invaluable in achieving this, allowing us to explore a large design space and understand the impact that varied success criteria have on optimal solutions. With this new feature in Revit, we’ll be able to visualize and convey each solution to our clients in a readily understandable and approachable way.â€
Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA), an international practice known for its groundbreaking designs, also provided critical feedback during the development of Generative Design in Revit. The technology has been especially useful in designing the concept for the largest soccer stadium in the Netherlands—the Feyenoord Stadium, located on the Rotterdam waterfront.
“We’re using generative design to gain insight during our exploration of Rotterdam’s new Feyenoord Stadium,†said Alex Mortiboys, head of BIM at OMA. “The result is a performance-based approach, allowing our team to test design logic and optimize manufacturability at the same time.â€
Here are some of the key customizable use cases for Generative Design in Revit:
- **Three Box Massing** creates simple massing models and calculates areas.
- **Maximize Window Views** scores the quality of views to the outside from any position in a room.
- **Workspace Layout** optimizes the placement of desks in a room based on user-selected criteria.
- **Customizable Studies** are available when using Dynamo. New studies may be defined to serve the needs of varying design firms and their practices.
