Description
The BUILD panel, moderated by Autodesk Senior Director, Rick Rundell, will review snapshots of applied research within the context of Architecture Engineering and Construction Industries followed by an extended discussion surrounding such topics. By positioning Reality Computing technologies (UAV’s, 3D Scanning, and reality capture); Construction Automation (3D Printing and Design Robotics); Automated Computational Workflows (Dynamo driven structural optimization-to robotic fabrication); and integrated building control systems through Physical Computing the discussion will frame the state of the art with the goal of understanding the critical interrelationships that will be required during the next ten years of research and development.
Four perspectives, each representing disparate aspects of AEC research, will be presented. First, Gustav Fagerstrom, Senior Technical Design at the global engineering firm BuroHappold, will present a series of Drone-based reality capture experiments using Autodesk’s ReCap that focus on the gathering, analysis, and three dimensional visualization of complex data from existing urban contexts. Nick Cote, a Design Roboticist at Autodesk’s Pier9 robotics research laboratory, will present a series of projects leveraging emerging computational workflows that link 3D design space, performance optimization, and automated fabrication through Design Robotics. Nathan King, DDes, BUILD Programs Manager, will present the contemporary context of automation in AEC industries through the lens of Robotics and Additive Manufacturing. Finally, Andy Payne, DDes, Principal Research Engineer at Autodesk, will discuss the potential of intelligent building control systems to meet the multifaceted demands of user satisfaction and performance thus allowing the built environment to sense, respond, and adapt over time.

Speakers
- RRRick RundellRick Rundell is a Technology and Innovation Strategist and Senior Director at Autodesk, where his roles have included launching building information modeling (BIM), introducing conceptual building design tools, and launching new applications for construction. Rick joined Autodesk in 2002 with the acquisition of Revit Technology Corporation, where he was director of product marketing. Rick created and leads the Autodesk Startups-in-Residence (STIR) program, an incubator offering free space and support to selected startups out of Autodesk's Waltham offices, and is now leading the development of the Autodesk BUILD Space, a 30,000sf innovation lab and workshop for research in advanced digital fabrication in the AEC industry. An experienced registered architect as well as a high-tech executive, Rick holds a Master’s degree in Architecture from Harvard University and a B.A in Engineering Science from Dartmouth College.
- GFGustav FagerstromGustav Fagerström is a registered architect and Senior Technical Designer with Buro Happold New York. Specializing in design computation he operates at the intersection of architecture, engineering and computer science. He has experience in all stages of projects in over 10 different countries, having practiced architecture with Urban Future Organization, Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates and UNStudio. Work of his has been exhibited and published in Europe, the Americas and Asia as well as presented at venues such as the Venice Architecture Biennale, CAADRIA, ACADIA and the SmartGeometry conference. Frequently engaging with academia he has sat on design juries, given workshops and lectures at UPenn, Yale, the AA London, UCL Bartlett, the Royal Institute of Technology and the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm.
- NKNathan KingNathan King is an assistant professor of architecture at the School of Architecture + Design at Virginia Tech, and he has taught at the Harvard Graduate School of Design, Rhode Island School of Design, and the University of Innsbruck. He earned his Doctor of Design degree from the Harvard Graduate School of Design, where he was a founding member of the Design Robotics Group, focusing on computational workflows and additive manufacturing and automation in the architecture, engineering, and construction industry. Beyond academia, King was director of research at MASS Design Group, and he continues to collaborate on the development and deployment of advanced building technologies, medical devices, and evaluation methods for global application in resource-limited settings. King served as programs manager and technical adviser for the emerging Autodesk BUILD Space, and he leads the development of research facilities, programs, and software to support the exploration of emerging opportunities surrounding technological innovation in art, architecture, design, and education.
- NCNick CoteNick received his Master of Architecture from the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), 2015, where he also studied Printmaking and Illustration. His training in robotics comes from coursework, assistantships, and research positions concerned with robotics in art and design. He has been a Design Robotics Researcher at Autodesk since June, 2015.
