I realized I forgot to write it here: my class on LEGO Serious Play and Participatory Planning in the context of Climate Change is live on the Autodesk University catalogue and you can find it here. You have the handout with the case studies, the slides and a bad recording. Enjoy!
Yesterday, we took a look at a brief introduction to the new AEC Data Model API, which targets data within files on your Autodesk Construction Cloud instead of drawing all of them and sifting through them later (which isn’t half bad when a system is paid per credit, let me tell you). Today we’ll try […]
Autodesk announced lots of news during last October’s Autodesk University and, though some of them weren’t really new, we do have some interesting development, especially on the cloud services. You can find the full list here. Since I am bound to forget to look into it or forget that I’ve looked into it altogether, I’ll […]
Well, it’s a wrap! Autodesk University consolidated my career in BIM back in 2016, and I hadn’t participated in it in seven years. Much has changed since then. I’ve changed, and the world has, but one thing has stayed the same: the convention is still an incredible place for networking, learning and brainstorming about the […]
Ok, so, my phone died after the last day of Autodesk University, which means I lack some of the resources to craft this post properly, but I don’t want to leave some awesome things unmentioned, so you’ll get this for now and then I’ll do something better as soon as I’m back. What was my […]
Just my top 3 from my Day 2 here at Autodesk University, in chronological order. We can dive in later. 1. Diverse Subcontractors and Where to Find Them With a focus on subcontractor selection, Wissam Akra started off by highlighting how, at least in the US, supplier diversity is a requirement by government law, and […]
Well, my class came and went and it was awesome. Not the delivery, I mean — I’ll leave that judgement to the participants — but I had a blast delivering it and my audience was wonderful. I think I was really able to articulate the key points between the complexity of designing for climate change, […]
Effective policy management is crucial in participatory and integrated planning processes, ensuring that the strategic frameworks guiding development projects align with both local regulations and broader goals. This involves not only understanding and navigating existing policy landscapes but also actively shaping and adapting policies to support the participatory approach. By fostering collaboration between institutions, stakeholders, […]
Any good workshop starts with one simple question: is the workshop needed and would it be beneficial? The “Enabling Inclusive Cities” toolkit developed by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) provides an invaluable framework to explore the needs of specific populations or regions through two basic pillars: policy and planning, and a sectoral assessment on the […]
The Three Horizons Model is a strategic framework that aids organizations in managing the present while preparing for future opportunities and challenges. Originally developed by Mehrdad Baghai, Stephen Coley, and David White in their book The Alchemy of Growth (1999), the theory provides a structured approach to balancing short-term goals with long-term innovation and emphasizes […]
