Autodesk Extends the Power of Generative Design to Architecture, Engineering and Construction Industries
For years, Autodesk has partnered with globally recognized companies like Airbus, Volkswagen Group, and others to explore the potential of generative design. This technology has helped these organizations tackle complex design challenges and adopt more sustainable manufacturing practices. But what if this powerful approach could also transform the way architects, engineers, and contractors work? What if the speed and scalability of generative design could be applied beyond traditional manufacturing—into the world of architecture and construction?
Throughout the lifecycle of a building project, architects, engineers, and contractors face numerous common challenges. These can range from simple to highly complex, often requiring time-consuming and costly revisions. At Autodesk, we are constantly working to develop solutions that address these issues, and we do so in close collaboration with our customers.
Introducing: Generative Design in Autodesk Revit 2021.
Building on our extensive experience with generative design in the manufacturing industry, Autodesk is thrilled to introduce this groundbreaking feature into Revit as part of the Architecture, Engineering and Construction Collection (AEC Collection). With this update, users can now explore, optimize, and evaluate data-driven design alternatives based on their specific goals, constraints, and inputs—all within the familiar environment of Revit.
This new functionality empowers professionals to leverage algorithmic problem-solving to generate innovative design options, make informed decisions faster, and improve overall efficiency. By integrating generative design directly into Revit, designers can quickly generate optimal solutions for any given challenge, whether it’s layout, space optimization, or environmental impact.
The results are presented in an intuitive visual format, along with interactive graphs that allow for sorting, filtering, and selection. This makes it easier than ever to compare and choose the best design option for each unique scenario.
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 solutions for any project, faster than ever before. Our customers can now make more confident design decisions, optimize workflows, and have more productive conversations with stakeholders.â€
Customer Feedback
The development of Generative Design in Revit was not done in isolation. We value customer input at every stage, ensuring that the final product meets real-world needs. When our customers are satisfied, we know we’re on the right track.
Stamhuis, a Dutch retail design and renovation expert since 1926, was one of our early beta testers. They provided valuable feedback throughout the development of this feature. From supermarkets to restaurants, Stamhuis approaches each project as a collaborative effort, creating tailored solutions that meet specific retail needs. They found that generative design significantly improved their ability to save time and reduce costs during the design phase.
“Generative Design in Revit gives us 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 can now create better insights and make better decisions early on, and we're excited about the future applications of this technology.â€
Royal HaskoningDHV, another Dutch-based engineering firm, also sees great potential in generative design. Specializing in sustainable development across multiple industries, they believe the technology will be especially useful in maritime planning.
“In the planning of shipyards, we need 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 how different success criteria affect optimal solutions.â€
Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA), an international architectural practice, also contributed to the development of Generative Design in Revit. The firm used the tool to design the concept for the largest soccer stadium in the Netherlands—the Feyenoord Stadium.
“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. “It allows our team to test design logic and optimize manufacturability simultaneously.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 desk placement based on user-selected criteria.
- **Customizable Studies** are available when using Dynamo, allowing firms to define studies tailored to their specific needs.
Whether you're looking to streamline your workflow, enhance decision-making, or push the boundaries of design, Generative Design in Revit opens up new possibilities. Let’s get you started on the path toward bold new designs. Learn more about Autodesk Revit.
