Lenovo updates AMD ThinkPad mobile workstations

3 weeks ago | aecmag.com | Greg Corke

Lenovo has updated its AMD-based mobile workstation line up with the launch of the ThinkPad P14s Gen 6 AMD and ThinkPad P16s Gen 4 AMD. Both laptops feature the ‘Strix Point’ AMD Ryzen AI Pro 300 Series processor which comes with integrated AMD Radeon 890M graphics and a neural processing unit (NPU) with up to 50 TOPS for AI workloads. As a result, they meet the requirements for Microsoft’s Copilot+ PC certification.
Cityweft gears up for public launch

3 weeks ago | aecmag.com | Greg Corke

Cityweft, a new web-based platform aimed at architects, urban designers, property developers and municipal planners, has entered its closed launch phase, with a full public launch scheduled for 5 May. The Cityweft platform enables users to create ‘high-quality’, customisable 3D models of cities and sites that can be used for early-stage design in CAD and BIM authoring tools such as SketchUp, Revit, Archicad and Rhino.
Twinmotion now supports Nvidia DLSS 4

4 weeks ago | aecmag.com | Greg Corke

Twinmotion 2025.1.1, the latest release of the real time rendering software from Epic Games, supports Nvidia DLSS 4, a suite of neural rendering technologies that uses AI to boost 3D performance. Epic Games shows that when DLSS 4 is enabled in Twinmotion it can render almost four times as many frames per second (FPS) than when DLSS is set to off. DLSS 4 uses a technology called Multi Frame Generation, an evolution of Single Frame Generation, which was introduced in DLSS 3.
Higharc AI 3D BIM model from 2D sketch

4 weeks ago | aecmag.com | Martyn Day

While AI is in full hype cycle and not a day passes without some grandiose AI claim, there are some press releases that raise the wizzened eyebrows at AEC Magazine HQ. North Carolina-based start-up, Higharc, has demonstrated a new AI capability which can automatically convert 2D hand sketches to 3D BIM models within its dedicated housing design system. This type of capability is something that several generic BIM developers are currently exploring in R&D.
Polycam for AEC

4 weeks ago | aecmag.com | Martyn Day

Precise reality capture has come a long way. We are in the process of moving from rare and expensive to cheap and ubiquitous. Laser scanning manufacturers are currently holding their price points and margins, but technology and mobility are closing in from the consumer end of the market.
Autodesk Tandem in 2025

4 weeks ago | aecmag.com | Martyn Day

Project Tandem, as it used be known, was initiated in February 2020, previewed at Autodesk University 2020, and released for public beta in 2021. Four years on, there are still significant layers of technology being added to the product, now focussing on higher levels of functionality beyond dashboards and connecting to IoT sensors, adding systems knowledge, support for timeline events and upgrades to fundamentals such as visualisation quality.
Studio Tim Fu: AI-driven design

4 weeks ago | aecmag.com | Greg Corke

It’s rare to see an architectural practice align itself so openly with a specific technology. But Studio Tim Fu is breaking that mould. Built from the ground up as an AI-first practice, the London-based studio is unapologetically committed to exploring how generative AI can reshape architecture—from the earliest concepts to fully constructable designs.
Regarding digital twins

4 weeks ago | aecmag.com | Martyn Day

It’s tough being one of the first to enter a market but for Space, one of the country’s most BIM-centric architectural practices, it was a case of needs must. In 2016, its BIM consultancy spin-off, BIM Technologies, identified a need for its clients to be able to access their model data without the need for expensive software or hardware. Development started and this eventually became Twinview, launched in 2019.
Motif V1: our first thoughts

With its stated aim of developing a next generation BIM tool to rival Revit, Motif’s initial offering was bound to be a small subset of what will be the finished product.
Infraspace: reimagining civil infrastructure design

1 month ago | aecmag.com | Greg Corke

In the world of infrastructure design, traditional processes have long been plagued by inefficiencies and fragmentation. That’s the view of engineer turned software developer Andreas Bjune Kjølseth, CEO of Norwegian startup Infraspace. “Going from an idea to actually having a decision basis can be a quite tedious process,” he explains.
