Connecting Insights<\/strong> \u2013 Capture, create, and compute enormous amounts of data and evaluate alternatives in a real world context. Insight early in the design phase supports \u201cbest possible\u201d as opposed to \u201cbest practical\u201d performance of completed projects.\u00a0 Enabled by the cloud and mobility and generative design, virtual and augmented reality technologies, software is becoming an advisor in the design and engineering process, optimizing designs and aiding teams in making informed decisions before breaking ground in a fraction of the time. <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Connecting Insight: Autodesk&#039;s Project Fractal creates a building shell &amp; facade\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CN3-EMKiuJE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe> <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><em>Autodesk\u2019s generative design tool, Project Fractal, is an example of how we connect insight.\u00a0 View Project Fractal as it is used to compute a building shell and fa\u00e7ade.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>2.<\/strong> <strong>Connecting Delivery<\/strong> \u2013 Integrate design to fabrication to the construction process more seamlessly.\u00a0 Extend digitalization to the construction site, with sensors, drones, intelligent machines and mobile devices enabled by a BIM-connected cloud platform.\u00a0 Seamless integration of the design-build processes translates intent to execution, further saving time and money.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"\/app\/uploads\/2016\/11\/HMS-textured.png\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1972\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1972 size-large\" src=\"\/app\/uploads\/2016\/11\/HMS-textured-1024x553.png\" alt=\"hms-textured\" width=\"640\" height=\"346\" \/><\/a> <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><em>Connecting Delivery: Digitalization of Hines Market Square, Houston, TX using 3D Robotics SiteScan and Autodesk ReCap 360.
