Autodesk Previews How “Connected BIM” Will Shape the Future of Work in the AEC Industry

AEC professionals attending Autodesk University to experience the next evolution of BIM

At this year’s Autodesk University, one thing will be clear: Building Information Modeling (BIM) is at the heart of designing, building, and managing infrastructure. Adopted by governments and AEC firms worldwide, BIM has proven its value in cutting costs and boosting quality. Now, it stands at a pivotal moment—what Andy Grove once called a “strategic inflection point.”

In an age where connectivity is everywhere, how does BIM evolve? The answer lies in “connected BIM.” At Autodesk University, we’ll showcase how this new era of BIM transforms workflows, improves collaboration, and unlocks new opportunities for the AEC community.

Modern BIM technologies are reshaping how buildings and infrastructure are designed, constructed, and operated. But for many professionals, the shift from traditional methods can feel daunting. It often requires retraining teams, trusting the cloud, and moving beyond 2D into the 3D world of BIM.

This year at Autodesk University, our partners and experts will show how connected BIM workflows make it easier than ever to get the job done faster, innovate, and seize new business opportunities. Here’s how:

1. Connecting Insights – By leveraging data, cloud computing, and TOOLS like generative design, virtual reality, and augmented reality, BIM becomes more than just a model—it becomes a smart advisor. Early insights during the design phase lead to better performance, helping teams make smarter decisions before construction even begins.

Autodesk’s Project Fractal is a great example of how connected insights can shape the future of design. Watch as it generates a building shell and façade using advanced computational methods.

2. Connecting Delivery – Bridging the gap between design and construction is key. With sensors, drones, and mobile tech integrated through a cloud-based BIM platform, the construction site becomes more efficient. This seamless integration ensures that what’s designed gets built accurately, saving time and money.

3. Connecting Assets – With the rise of IoT and smart devices, vast amounts of operational data are now available. Connected BIM helps turn this data into actionable insights, improving maintenance, operations, and future project designs. It’s about learning from the past to build a better future.

4. Connecting Teams – Collaboration is no longer limited by geography. With cloud-based platforms, teams can work together in real time, whether they’re in the same office or across the globe. As joint ventures become more common, connected BIM enables seamless teamwork, breaking down barriers and driving success.
