Forma鈥檚 initial capabilities target the early-stage planning and design process with automation and AI-powered insights that are said to simplify the exploration of design concepts, offload repetitive tasks, and help evaluate environmental qualities surrounding a building site.

鈥淔orma gives architecture professionals the agility to work iteratively rather than sequentially between planning and detailed design, supercharging what they can accomplish,鈥� said Amy Bunszel, Executive Vice President of Architecture, Engineering and Construction Design Solutions at Autodesk.

鈥淔rom rapidly evaluating a large set of factors鈥揻rom sun and wind to noise and operational energy鈥� to offloading computational tasks to the cloud and connecting with Revit, Forma unlocks great value for our customers.鈥�

Forma is included in the Autodesk AEC Collection for existing subscribers.
