Generative design is being used by the Quebec Wood Export Bureau and VIATechnik to deliver purpose-designed relief structures designed for sites as well as mission needs for COVID-19 health care, first responders and other disaster needs.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has delivered 50 COVID-19 alternate care facilities in hotels, dormitories, convention centers and arenas with 12 more soon to be completed.

Trying to keep projects moving during a viral pandemic and partial construction freeze is no small task, and project teams are finding new ways to keep things on schedule when site visits and office meetings are no longer viable.

Preparing multiple potential designs around narrow requirements is seen as some of the most tedious work in design and engineering. But some of that effort can now be automated with the new generative design scripting built into Autodesk Revit 2021.

Rail dispatch control centers are dominated by two-tier theaters with video walls and multiple monitors. What if augmented reality could eliminate all of that hardware and crowding? Ross & Baruzzini are studying how that might be accomplished.

Some design and engineering firms that have shifted to cloud-based IT infrastructure are finding they can maintain their workloads even as many employees are forced out of their offices due to the pandemic.
