Editorial highlights of 2024
Connecting architecture to fabrication
Towards open AEC systems
The chasm between architectural and fabrication design software creates challenges for firms wishing to go beyond the boundaries of traditional documentation. We looked at how three pioneering firms — SHoP Architects, Bouygues Construction and WSP — are bridging the divide.

Following interoperability agreements between many of the major AEC software developers we explored the AEC industry’s changing approach to openness and noted that this time round things seem a little different.
The productivity promise of auto drawings
In a world swimming in AI-related hype, several CAD software firms are making serious progress in the race to eliminate workflow bottlenecks using new technologies. We looked at the field of drawing automation and identified some of its frontrunners.

The shape of BIMs to come
Predicting the future may be a mug’s game, but increasingly, it’s one we all must play as we place our bets on the technologies reshaping AEC.
AI is hard (to do well)
Generative AI (GenAI) is extremely promising, but achieving tangible results is more complex than the hype suggests. In this comprehensive article, Keir Regan-Alexander, architect and founder of creative consultancy, Arka Works, highlighted the challenges of implementing GenAI and offers practical strategies for professional practice.

Live events
Now in its ninth year, NXT BLD (Next Build) by AEC Magazine has grown into an essential conference and exhibition which looks beyond BIM 1.0 to explore future Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) technologies. The event attracts some of the most influential technologists and decision-makers working in the AEC sector. This includes R&D teams, partners, heads of technology and BIM managers from many of top 100 architectural practices and large multinational construction firms.
Now in its third year, NXT DEV (Next Development) by AEC Magazine provides a unique forum to help shape the future of AEC software development.
NXT DEV allows AEC practitioners, software developers and investors to share their views on what comes next and learn from industry veterans. The event focuses on how the AEC industry can dramatically drive and accelerate productivity with BIM 2.0 technologies such as AI, Machine Learning (ML) and lots more.
