Autodesk Spacemaker
Design better cities with AI.
Overview
Spacemaker, part of the Autodesk Forma suite, empowers architects, urban planners, and real estate developers to quickly generate, analyze, and iterate on site development plans. It uses artificial intelligence and generative design to evaluate proposals against a wide range of criteria like noise, wind, sunlight, and microclimates, enabling data-driven design decisions from the very beginning of a project.
✨ Key Features
- Generative Design for Massing Studies
- Real-time Analysis (Sun, Wind, Noise, Microclimate)
- Automated Area Calculations (GFA, FAR)
- Collaborative Cloud-Based Platform
- Parking and Road Layout Tools
- Feasibility Studies
- Integration with Revit and other Autodesk products
🎯 Key Differentiators
- Powerful, real-time environmental analytics (wind, sun, noise).
- AI-powered generative design for exploring a wide range of options.
- Seamless integration into the Autodesk ecosystem (Revit, Forma).
Unique Value: Empowers design teams to make smarter, data-driven decisions at the earliest stages of a project, maximizing site potential and mitigating risks before significant resources are invested.
🎯 Use Cases (4)
✅ Best For
- Maximizing residential unit count while ensuring quality of life factors like sunlight.
- Conducting rapid wind and noise analysis for urban high-rises.
- Collaborating between development and design teams on initial site layouts.
