Architects Can Build Too: The Collaborative Power of Forma and Forma Build
Many people look at Autodesk Forma, especially the Forma Build platform, and believe it's only for the construction industry. However, many design disciplines that work with the construction industry use the Autodesk Forma platform, especially architectural/design firms. While Forma Build is ideally set up to be a more collaborative workflow, that doesn't mean it has to be used in that way. This session will show you how our architectural firm uses different aspects of Forma Build before and during construction. We'll cover how our firm went from a dual-input, multiprogram workflow to using Forma Build for specific field workflows. We'll cover the tools we use in Forma Build and how we use custom forms and reports to get the output to look the way we want it to look. By using Forma Build workflows, we'll explain how we became more efficient in capturing data, and how we get the appropriate information into the hands of our construction partners in hours instead of days.

Should We Choose Forma Build as our Primary CM Platform?
Like most firms, Hazen is at times, unable to dictate which CM platform is used on every project. However, for the last several years we have an internal preferred solution that is not ACC Build. In late 2022 we began pilot testing Forma Build with the goal of the pilot being to determine whether we should begin integrating ACC Build going forward. If yes, should we use Forma Build on certain projects alongside our other platform, or should it replace that platform entirely? What we hope to gain from this pilot is identifying the feature and workflow differences between the two platforms, and whether Forma Build can provide an advantage in transferring our asset-ready intelligent models through construction and as-built into a digital twin / facility management product like Autodesk Tandem. This pilot project is expected to be completed in the fall of 2024, but we wanted to share our experiences so far and provide some insight into our findings.

How Do You Integrate Sustainable Design and BIM in a Multidisciplinary Design-Build Curriculum?
Contemporary shifts in technology and environmental concerns are changing the circumstances of building performance. Integrated teams that employ interdisciplinary design and construction personnel are responding to this changed set of conditions. The foundation of interdisciplinary architectural, engineering, and construction (AEC) practices begins with the education of the next generation of AEC practitioners. In this class, we will discuss how students engaged in an iterative design and learning process build knowledge and communication skills toward an integrated design-build studio. This integrated design-build studio uses a series of assignments housed in dedicated design labs where students solve realistic design problems. Faculty-implemented Building Information Modeling (BIM) technologies and established ecological accounting methods increase interaction and innovation in the interdisciplinary design-build studio.
