Autodesk Forma Site Design Workshop

Add Autodesk Forma to your Calendar!

This workshop introduces Autodesk Forma as a powerful early-stage design tool for architectural thinking. Participants will explore how to use real-time environmental data, site analysis, and massing studies to inform design decisions from the very beginning of a project.

We will walk through the core features of Forma, including contextual modeling, sun and daylight analysis, and performance-based comparisons between design options. The session is structured as a live demonstration followed by guided exploration, allowing attendees to see how data can directly shape architectural form and strategy.

This workshop is intended for architecture students interested in integrating analysis-driven workflows into studio projects and professional practice.

No prior experience with Forma is required.
