AU 2018 General Session - Autodesk CEO Andrew Anagnost on the Opportunity of Automation

Automation has been changing how we work and what we make for centuries. From the first steam engines to the first mechanized assembly lines, and from the first mainframes to the first personal computers, each technological advance brings transformations to our world and our work.

LERA Advances Engineering with Computational Design

Pioneering creative visions often require pioneering strategies to make them manifest in the world. In the field of architecture, the new High Tech Tower in Luanda, Angola, shows what’s possible when vision and technology unite.

The Future of Making Things: Vision, Creation, Disruption

The ways we work today are vastly different from how we worked 30 years ago, and the processes we will use 30 years from now will be different from what we use today. What’s driving these transformations? The evolution of the tools and technologies that we use to design, envision, and build.

Better Approaches to Building

As the world’s population grows, demand for new buildings is increasing, especially in cities. At the same time, designers and engineers continue to push the creative limits of what’s possible for the built environment. How can we create structures that are increasingly sophisticated and functional while accelerating schedules and reducing waste?
