Noel Joyce is a wheelchair user and industrial designer currently teaching design and innovation at NYU. A couple years ago, he decided to get back into mountain biking on a handcycle. However, one of the barriers to entry for most people with disabilities who would like to be involved in sports like adaptive mountain biking is the cost of the equipment and the cost of maintenance. As a result of first-hand experience with both, Joyce started Project Mjolnir, the world's first open-source adaptive mountain bike project. Project Mjolinr's goal is to break down the barriers of entry for anyone to get into the sport by creating a bike based on a modular platform that is infinitely changeable, adaptable, and can be built anywhere. Joyce first started the project at NYU in January 2023, iterating on a previous design. The first of four bikes were developed and designed remotely and assembled at NYU in New York in April 2023. The second bike was built in Abu Dhabi in June 2023. And the final two built in Ireland and Shanghai in the subsequent months. Join Joyce to learn more about the project, the design process, and where it's going next.

Exploring design alternatives is more than just the material used or product produced. It's about the energy and resources consumed to create that product, and finally where that product ends up when it reaches end of life. Exploring not just alternative designs, but also resource and production alternatives, helps to drive better environmental impact. And designing for longevity and, most importantly, reuse of products and materials drive manufacturing toward the net-zero impacts that we need to truly create a sustainable world. Start by exploring how products come to reality and the alternative. And then use tools like Autodesk Fusion 360 to explore manufacturing alternatives and energy consumption that finally lead to creative design for disassembly and reuse.

For today's architects to meet their ambitious sustainability goals toward net zero, new building materials that can sequester carbon emissions and replace petroleum-based products must rapidly enter the construction industry. In this session, we'll look at a case study where leaders in industrialized construction, composite manufacturing, and biomaterials technology joined Autodesk researchers. Together, they developed a carbon sequestering facade system by replacing the typical petroleum-based foam within fiberglass reinforced facade panels with mycelium fungi composites, a carbon-negative biomaterial. The session will describe the developmental journey from material research and performance validation to the use of Autodesk Forma and Autodesk Fusion 360 software to design the facade for a Californian housing development that meets sustainability, habitability, and construction project goals. Discover the rise of biomaterial building products and how today's construction companies are reducing their facade installation schedules with this approach.

In this class, we will present the use of Autodesk CFD for a new building project with a goal for net-zero energy compliance. The building and construction industries are responsible for about 40% of the global energy use and about 30% of the global carbon emissions, contributing to climate change. Energy-optimized building design is one of the green building principles that, by 2030, could reduce the carbon footprint and achieve reduction of building-related emissions by 50%—and deliver net-zero buildings by 2050. In an endeavor to design energy-efficient buildings, adoption of new technologies for enhancing indoor environment quality, thermal quality, and lighting quality are imperative. And implementation of such technologies needs validation for performance. Modeling and simulation software such as Autodesk CFD could be used to estimate the performance of the built environment and compare different design decisions in order to realize the opportunity to reduce energy consumption and, therefore, carbon emissions.
