Carl Christensen of Autodesk joins the podcast to talk about the development of Forma and their focus on the early phases of the design process for better design outcomes. We talk about how his startup (originally Spacemaker AI) evolved into Forma, the use of AI as an assistant to designers rather than a replacement, and the potential for AI to help with rapid simulations and analysis. We also discuss the benefits of live collaboration, real time access to data, the openness of the platform, and about how Forma is expected to evolve after this first release.
