Autodesk's Forma Building Design is now fully live after its beta test launch last year.
Forma Building Design is a design and analysis platform specifically for the schematic design phase. Autodesk executive vice president AEC Amy Bunszel noted: "Early design is where the most important decisions are made, but also where teams are often constrained. Many architects still rely on tools built for later stages, making it harder to explore options quickly and confidently before committing to a direction. Forma Building Design is designed to remove that constraint."
It enables users to set up geolocated sites in minutes, create and detail building options with tools, and design automations to add and edit facades, floor plans and units. Architects can evaluate performance through analyses such as daylight, sun hours and carbon. When a design direction is selected, projects move into Revit as geolocated, native models - complete with site context and building elements - reducing rework and preserving intent.
