Autodesk Forma is an AI-powered design platform for improving early-stage workflows in architecture, engineering, and construction. Forma allows architects, planners, and real estate developers to create building and site concepts and evaluate them with unique real-world context using AI-enhanced simulations. Light, wind, microclimate, noise, and sustainability, standalone or in combination, enable Forma to provide immediate performance feedback as a basis for better-informed decisions at the start of any project. Integration with
Autodesk Revit and also Rhino establishes smooth transition processes from early conceptual modeling to documentation, minimizing time wasted as a result of reworking projects or losing project data. Autonomous functions, through machine learning, enable Forma to eliminate repetitive tasks to allow professionals to focus their time on creative, innovative, and sustainable building strategies. The cloud platform additionally allows teams to assess multiple design proposals, side-by-side, in the decision-making process to identify the best solutions in regard to performance and comfort based on a wide range of considerations. Forma is part of Autodesk’s AEC Industry Cloud, which is designed to integrate data and accelerate workflows while producing sustainable projection, preparing for the future, and improving collaboration across a range of stakeholders.
