Autodesk Technology Centers: Automating Construction through Collaboration
Nathan King showcases some of the most innovative projects that have come out of the Autodesk Technology Center in Boston, better known as the BUILD Space
The Autodesk Technology Center in Boston, better known as the BUILD Space, offers residencies to technologists, engineers, and entrepreneurs pursuing new ways to automate and improve the construction process. From computationally designed facades to robotically manufactured pavilion prototypes to medical clinics that can be fabricated and built in a week, Nathan King shares what the Autodesk Technology Centers (ATCs) do, what they look for in potential residents, and what each of the 4 ATCs specializes in. Then he showcases some of the most innovative projects that have come from the BUILD Space in Boston. As King says, “We provide expertise, training, and equipment. You provide the ideas and the labor to get it done.”

Collaborative Robotics for Construction
Until now, we’ve created architectural drawings and models in order to provide instructions for humans to follow on the construction site. But as robots become more intelligent and aware, they will be able to handle many of the repetitive tasks of building. Luc Deckinga and Nick Cameron of Perkins + Will show how their firm is working with Autodesk to convert 3D architectural models into robotic simulations—in effect turning designs into instructions that robots can follow—then putting robots to work creating modular components for assembly on-site.
Talking with Robots about Architecture
This industry talk featuring Jeffrey McGrew is a deep dive into the future of building: automation, communication, and whether or not robots will change everything. Gain a better understanding of how to be empowered by automation—and a framework in which to judge how best to automate something.
