AEC professionals attending Autodesk University to experience the next evolution of BIM
This year at Autodesk University, one thing will be crystal clear—Building Information Modeling (BIM) is the heart of designing, constructing, and managing structures. Adopted globally by governments and AEC companies for its ability to cut costs and enhance quality, BIM is now at what the late Andy Grove of Intel might call a “strategic turning point.â€
What does BIM look like in a world where connectivity is everywhere? At AU, we’re focusing our exhibits, classes, and events on Connected BIM. By that, we mean how BIM can integrate seamlessly across every stage of a project’s lifecycle.
Today’s cutting-edge tools for advanced BIM processes are transforming the way buildings and infrastructure are conceived, built, and utilized. But for many architects, engineers, contractors, and owners, adopting new tech can feel daunting. It involves retraining teams, trusting the cloud and mobile solutions, and transitioning from 2D drawings to 3D models and BIM workflows.
At Autodesk University this year, our partners and team will showcase how Connected BIM workflows can simplify tasks and open doors to innovative business opportunities. Here's how:
1. Connecting Insights – Harness massive amounts of data and assess alternatives in real-world scenarios. Early insights during the design phase support optimal performance rather than just practical outcomes. Cloud-based platforms, mobile tools, and technologies like generative design and virtual/augmented reality enable software to act as a design advisor, helping teams make informed decisions swiftly.
Autodesk’s Project Fractal exemplifies connecting insights. This tool computes building shells and facades using generative design.
2. Connecting Delivery – Streamline the entire design-to-construction process. Digitize the construction site with sensors, drones, smart machinery, and mobile devices, all powered by a BIM-connected cloud platform. This seamless integration ensures that plans translate into reality efficiently, saving both time and money.

3. Connecting Assets – With vast amounts of data now accessible, connected technology makes it actionable throughout the project’s lifespan. Gather operational data over time to refine decision-making continuously. Use IoT sensors and connected devices to guide maintenance, optimize operations, and inform future designs or process enhancements.

4. Connecting Teams – Place the project at the core from day one. Keep everyone updated in the office and on-site with cloud-based collaboration tools that break down barriers. As joint ventures grow more common, Autodesk bridges gaps between teams located anywhere—whether they're across town or on opposite sides of the globe.
Connecting Teams: Architecture firms Hennebery Eddy and Fentress collaborated on a major airport project using Autodesk Collaboration for Revit and BIM 360 Team.
To everyone at Autodesk University and beyond: now is the moment to embrace BIM. The path forward is clear—adapt to these advancements or risk falling behind while others lead the charge.
We hope to see you in Vegas! If you can't make it, no worries—you can still explore more by clicking here for videos and additional resources on BIM and the future of construction.
As the construction industry evolves, staying ahead means leveraging the power of Connected BIM. Whether you're an architect envisioning the next skyscraper or a contractor planning sustainable infrastructure, embracing these innovations will define success in tomorrow's world.
