• Description • Students are tasked with designing a Smart City using Forma Site Design for effective site design for adding details to the buildings in the site. • The Site area selected must have minimum 1 km square area • The goal is to design and develop a site including the contextual data (available for free within Forma Site Design) and export Site BIM model suitable for further use in Revit app. • The Site designed must include Site Limits, Landscaping, Buildings, and Transportation elements. • The Site designed must be analyzed using the Analyze functions available within Forma Site Design for Area Metrics, Embodied Carbon, Sun hours, Daylight potential, Wind Analysis, Microclimate analysis, Noise analysis, Solar Energy. • Minimum 2 Site Design proposals must be compared and presented using the Forma Borad available within Forma Site Design. • Objective Urban populations continue to grow rapidly, creating the need for smarter, more sustainable, and resilient cities. Planners, architects, and engineers must leverage data-driven design tools to evaluate site performance, optimize land use, and improve the quality of life for future residents.In this project, students are tasked with designing a Smart City Development using Autodesk Forma Site Design for site planning and analysis, and Autodesk Revit for detailed building development. • Participation Guidelines For Idea Submission: • Each student team should submit Forma Site Design with 2 proposals that are compared for their and a Forma Site Design PowerPoint presentation (5-7 Slides). • Models should be created using only Forma Site Design and not copied or taken from any other source. • AI Generated content is NOT ALLOWED.

For Grand Finale: Students must use Forma Site Design to design, and create 3D Model of specific office building within the given time period and present the following to the jury members:

• PPT explaining the final Site Design proposal • Detailed and synced drawing block of a building exported, edited in Revit app and then synced to Forma Site Design. • Presentation of the Proposal Comparison done through Forma Board • Rendered images and Walkthrough video (30 secs.) of the final Model.

Note: Teams coming with pre-designed files will be disqualified.

• Attach Marking Criteria Table here* • Faculty (SIH SPOC) Form Teams choosing to submit idea for Autodesk’s problem statement are required to request their faculty (SIH SPOC) to fill this 'Mandatory Form'. • Autodesk Forma Site Design • Autodesk Forma Site Design is a complete Site Design and Site Analysis web app built on native Forma AI HUB primarily used by architects, engineers, and construction professionals to design, model, and document the site and present proposal for approvals. • Educators and Students can download 'Autodesk Forma Site Design'. • Essential workflow and learning access Click Here to get FREE access to Forma Site Design.

Counted from the official portal twice a day. The portal itself only shows today.

What a jury will ask about this

  1. 01“Who actually faces this problem today?”

    What works: Naming one real person and what they do instead right now. Reading the statement back is not an answer, they already read it.

  2. 02“This already exists. Why yours?”

    What works: That existing tools are consumer products. Yours is built for the ministry, works offline, in the local language, on official data.

  3. 03“Then why has nobody solved it yet?”

    What works: The real blocker. No connectivity, no incentive, nobody owns the data. You only know this if you read the ministry's own reports.
