Nanotechnology, the control of matter on an atomic and molecular scale, is an emerging meta-field growing at an accelerated pace.
It is in our interest to identify the implications of nanotechnology and programmable matter for the industries that are currently supported by Autodesk software. It is equally important to early assess the new design spaces enabled by nanotechnology, in particular in regards to life & materials sciences.
Today, the design paradigm behind programmable matter is one that can be gradually applied to concrete projects across a range of domains and metric scales. The cross-pollination across projects will help create a robust scale-free body of knowledge.
We collaborate with researchers around the world to co-envision the design paradigms and tools needed to understand and exploit the intersection of design and life & materials sciences.
The Autodesk® IDEA Studio is a residency program for designers, engineers, artists, and scholars who are pursuing innovative projects that push design technology to its limits to solve real-life problems.
