Competitors received the files of the site plan and Barcelona pavilion in advance for preparation and were required to generate 2D and 3D documentation using Revit, Autodesk’s building information modeling software, in the time allotted during the fast-paced event. Phil Bernstein, FAIA, Autodesk vice president of industry strategy and relations and Design Slam judge remarked, “While all the competitors demonstrated impressive mastery of 3D design ... the winning submissions ... were selected because of their artistic approach to innovative design.” KlingStubbins provides professional services in all major disciplines within the realm of architecture, engineering, interiors, planning, and landscape architecture.
