    Brian Young Commentary: Green Space is Good Politics

    In this podcast, hosted by Angela Simoes of Autodesk, hear Brian Young, Sustainable Infrastructure Product Manager for Autodesk discuss how green space is “good politics”. The interview opens by defining what green spaces are, and then Brian focuses on a key benefit of how green spaces impact a community's water by absorbing this precious resource. Next, they touch on how cities around the world are now pushing for green infrastructure, followed by an examination of the “big question” today - how to measure the financial [quantitative] benefits to justify both green space and green infrastructure investments. Brian explains that new tools such as AutoCASE are available to help assign dollar values to these projects. Angela then asks Brian about responses by the public, e.g. in Philadelphia, to green infrastructure proposals. The conversation ends on how water management is changing from a centralized to a more distributed, flexible approach as cities redevelop.

    Phil Bernstein Commentary - Your Next Building Won’t Be Built—It Will Be Manufactured

    Hear Phil Bernstein, Vice President for Strategic Industry Relations at Autodesk discuss the ideas he shared in his Line//Space//Shape commentary "Future of Construction: Your Next Building Won’t Be Built—It Will Be Manufactured". Phil notes a key trend in AEC for more parts of buildings being pre-fabricated, with manufacturing practices coming into play more than ever before. A combination of factors impacting this trend: 1.emergence of digitally driven ways to "make things" [robotics, laser scanning, etc. - technologies that make it easier to close the gap between the real world and digital design]; 2, financial crisis of the "big recession" changed the makeup of the construction workforce reduced the workforce, with younger people not going into construction; 3, barriers to computer manufacturing costs have gone down, and a new generation of designers coming out of schools with experience in such things as 3D printing. All factors driving pre-fabrication for buildings.

    Commentary: Adam Spring on Evolution and Latest Trends in Reality Capture & Computing for AEC

    Hear a phone conversation with Adam Spring -- a noted business development professional and expert in 3D reality capture workflows and markets - and Angela Simoes of Autodesk discussing the evolution of reality capture and computing, and its impact on the AEC industry. The interview opens with how reality capture and computing is being incorporated today within a building design lifecycle, including what Adam sees as a shift from productivity computing to creative computing. Angela then asks Adam now designers can get started with reality capture and computing. Other topics Adam addresses include the "Visual Age of Information" with new tools and technologies to communicate with building project stakeholders [e.g. Autodesk ReCap with its fly-through capabilities]. The interview concludes with Adam commenting on the latest advancements in reality capture and computing, citing the work of the German firm Christofori Und Partner; Holograms from Zebra Imaging; and a Bay Area firm PhaseSpace augmented reality for mobile phones.

    Emma Stewart's Outlook: The Supreme Court’s decision to block EPA’s regulation of coal-fired plants

    Earlier this year [2015] the US Supreme Court blocked an Environmental Protection Agency [EPA] regulation meant to limit emissions of mercury and other toxic pollutants from coal-fired power plants. Many states challenged the EPA proposal citing extreme cost burdens it would have imposed. In this podcast, Emma Stewart, head of sustainability solutions at Autodesk, discusses how this outcome could have all been avoided.
