Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ:ADSK), a leader in 3D design, engineering and entertainment software, announced that Athié | Wohnrath has received an Autodesk BIM Experience Award for the use of a Building Information Modeling (BIM) process on more than 200 projects to date, including interior design, building design, retrofit and new construction.
The award further recognizes the firm’s commitment to BIM through its employee training, implementation strategy and the application of BIM on two recent projects – the Baker Hughes Rio Technology Center in Rio de Janeiro and the interior design of Dow Chemical’s new Brazilian corporate headquarters in São Paulo, Brazil.
Athié | Wohnrath is also being honored for its use of software for BIM, including Autodesk Revit Architecture and Autodesk 3ds Max Design software. The firm also uses Autodesk Inventor software to design office furniture and lighting fixtures.
“Adopting a Building Information Modeling process has helped increase the speed of our design and cost estimating, as well as enhancing multi-disciplinary team coordination and design integrity,” said Alessandro Lopes, CAD quality and process manager at Athié | Wohnrath. “We are 100 percent committed to BIM and, in fact, require that every new designer must fully understand how to use a BIM process and be trained on Autodesk Revit Architecture.”
