Autodesk University 2025 - This Week!

Autodesk University 2025 is quickly approaching, taking place later this month in Nashville, Tennessee. As both an adjunct professor and the Director of Design Technology at Lake|Flato Architects, I’m honored to be presenting two sessions that highlight emerging technologies and workflows with Autodesk tools.

The first session, led by Erica Bocian from Esri, explores the new ArcGIS extension for Autodesk Forma—an exciting advancement in connecting geospatial intelligence with early-stage design. The second session focuses on Autodesk’s end-to-end workflow with Revit and Insight (Total Carbon), a timely solution for those transitioning from the recently retired version of Insight.

I’ve had the opportunity to work with both of these tools since their beta phases, and I’m eager to share how these now publicly available workflows can be applied immediately in practice. Whether you’re a professional in architecture, engineering, or construction—or a student or professor looking to expand your toolkit—you’ll walk away with actionable strategies to bring back to your projects after AU 2025.
