When the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) announced that the Autodesk Technology Center at the BUILD Space in Boston had been awarded the 2019 Charles J. Pankow Award for Innovation, we were incredibly proud. ASCE has long been a strong advocate for investing in our built environment. With concerns about aging infrastructure and a global population expected to hit 10 billion by 2050, they understand the urgent need for progress—and so do we at Autodesk. This recognition means a lot to us because it aligns with our shared vision of open, practical innovation.

Named after construction pioneer Charles J. Pankow, this award honors organizations that collaborate to bring innovation into practice within the design and construction industry.

To claim this ‘win’ as our own would be misleading.

To claim this ‘win’ as our own would be misleading. While the Autodesk Technology Center at the BUILD Space provides the facilities, technology, training, and expertise, the true heart of the space comes from the academic and industry leaders who have brought their ideas and projects to life here. Their contributions are just as vital as ours. These include visionary academics from MIT, Harvard, Northeastern, Carnegie Mellon, and IAAC in Barcelona; innovative startups like Pillar Tech, Lumii, and Ori Systems; equipment partners such as Howick, BigRep, FARO, and SMC; and our customers—industry leaders like Perkins+Will, Sasaki, EYP, Gensler, Bechtel, NBBJ, and Elkus Manfredi—who have actively engaged with the BUILD Space team since day one. Listen to WBUR’s story from last year, which highlights the BUILD Space and introduces some of its residents. Allow me to explain further. The network of Autodesk Technology Centers in San Francisco, Boston, Toronto, and Birmingham, UK, brings together industry, academia, and entrepreneurship to shape the future of making. In these spaces, we help people create better solutions with less impact on the world. https://vimeo.com/280926603 Located in Boston’s Seaport Innovation District, the BUILD Space is a research and development workspace where Autodesk invites startups, colleges, and experts to explore new ways to advance the building industry. The center focuses on industrialized construction, digital fabrication, automation, robotics, and other transformative ideas.

Technology Center Boston Resident from Perkins+Will developing an automated robotic assembly workflow. The Autodesk Technology Center Boston (BUILD Space) is an innovation space for digital fabrication in the building industry. The BUILD Space (BUilding, Innovation, Learning and Design), located in South Boston’s Innovation District, is a 30,000 sq ft facility housing workshops for metal fabrication, machining (CNC & Manual), wood working, water jet cutting, large format routing, laser cutting, composites, glass, robotics and 3-D printing.

To all of them and the hundreds of teams and partners we've welcomed over the past two and a half years, this award truly belongs to you.

We invite innovators of all kinds to consider joining us in shaping the future of making through the residency program at the BUILD Space.
