Autodesk Joins UNEP, NWM to Host Sustainable Design Forum
 SAN
RAFAEL, CA, Oct 2, 2007 - Autodesk, the world leader in 2D and 3D design
software for the manufacturing, building, and media and entertainment
markets, will hold a two-day executive forum on 4-5 October in conjunction
with the Melting Ice: A Hot Topic - Envisioning Change art exhibit, hosted
by the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) and the Natural World
Museum (NWM) at the BOZAR Centre for Fine Arts in Brussels, Belgium. The
forum will bring business, technology and sustainability experts together to
increase awareness of the importance of sustainable design and engage in a
dialogue on how sustainable design practices can lead to a healthier
environment. The exhibition, for which Autodesk serves as Title Sponsor,
opens at the BOZAR Centre for Fine Arts on 5 October and offers
thought-provoking perspectives on the issue of climate change from more than
40 artists around the world.
“As an industry leader in providing design software for the built and
manufactured world, Autodesk is committed to increasing awareness of
sustainable design as a viable solution to addressing environmental concerns
such as global warming,” said Carl Bass, president and CEO of Autodesk. “We
are proud to support the United Nations Environment Program and Natural
World Museum’s ‘Envisioning Change’ exhibit to help inform citizens of the
world about the positive impact of sustainable design on global warming,”
said Bass.
“We’re excited to work with technology leaders, such as Autodesk, to help
promote the need for sustainable design on a global scale,” said Mia Hanak,
executive director, Natural World Museum. “As the Title Sponsor for
‘Envisioning Change,’ Autodesk is demonstrating leadership and vision that’s
impacting change and is contributing to our goal of inspiring creative
sustainable solutions worldwide.”
Forums to Address the Role of Technology in Sustainable Design
Autodesk will host two executive forums to address the role of technology
in sustainable design and how it can help building and manufacturing
professionals design products and structures that are more environmentally
sound. Through the forums, attended by Autodesk customers, sustainable
design experts and the media, Autodesk hopes to stimulate interactive
conversation about the positive impact of sustainable design, and to share
best practices and innovative ideas.
Autodesk senior vice president of Manufacturing, Robert “Buzz” Kross,
will host an industry session that will look at how manufacturers use
Digital Prototyping solutions to support their sustainable product strategy.
The discussion will include speakers JohnPaul Kusz, founder and associate
director of the Center for Sustainable Enterprise, and Angela Robotham,
engineering director, Marine Current Turbines Ltd. Autodesk architecture,
engineering and construction (AEC) customers will hear from Phil Bernstein,
vice president of Industry Strategy & Relations, how a strategic change in
design and process strategies can help achieve an integrated practice that
will allow designers to build with a sustainable and holistic approach.
Bernstein will show how technology, such as building information modelling
(BIM), can support this goal. This session will also include sustainable
design architect and broadcaster, Charlie Luxton.
The forum will also feature keynote speaker, Robert Swan, the first man
to walk to both the North and South Poles, who will describe how he has seen
climate change in action over the last 20 years.
In addition to the forum, Autodesk President and CEO Carl Bass will
participate in a UNEP symposium which will be held on the opening day of the
exhibit. The symposium will bring together leaders from technology, the
environment, the arts, media and government to discuss critical social,
economic and political aspects of global warming and aims to foster a deeper
understanding of the causes and effects of climate change, as well as
discuss sustainable solutions for individuals, communities and industries.
Autodesk is committed to driving awareness and adoption of sustainable
design through public and private partnerships with organizations such as
the U.S. Green Building Council and Integrated Energy Solutions, and as a
major sponsor of a multi-segment public television series on sustainable
design. Autodesk also provides technology, education and support for
initiatives that inform and promote innovations that address current and
future sustainable design challenges.
