New Autodesk & Smithsonian Arts + Industries Building exhibit showcases the future of human/machine collaboration

The Smithsonian's Arts + Industries Building (AIB), America’s very first National Museum, has been closed for almost two decades. Recently, however, there was news that this iconic space would reopen for a special exhibition to celebrate the Smithsonian's 175th anniversary. Excited by the opportunity to collaborate on such a historic endeavor, Autodesk jumped at the chance to be part of this project. Now, the wait is over! The museum is reopening under the name FUTURES, a name that reflects its mission to inspire big dreams and envision multiple futures ahead. As a company deeply committed to empowering individuals to create a better world through innovative design, we were thrilled to partner with the Smithsonian on this ambitious project. One of the highlights of the FUTURES exhibition is the Co-Lab, a space we co-created with the Smithsonian AIB. The Co-Lab features an innovative timber structure designed using generative techniques, embodying sustainability and forward-thinking design. It also showcases inspiring stories about the power of human and artificial intelligence collaboration, along with an interactive multiplayer experience called "Future Communities." After years of brainstorming, designing, and collaborating with a brilliant team of researchers, architects, and curators, I am thrilled to finally share this creation with the public. The Co-Lab is not just an exhibit; it’s a dynamic space where participants can engage with each other and AI to explore sustainable urban design. Inside the Co-Lab, visitors can dive into "Future Communities," a game where players work together to build a sustainable community block. Participants take on different roles—developer, ecologist, or mayor—each with unique objectives and responsibilities. The game encourages players to think critically about balancing social, ecological, and economic needs. For instance, the ecologist focuses on green spaces and clean air, while the developer creates housing and workspaces. The mayor ensures fair distribution of services across the community. Players must strategically use limited resources and collaborate to achieve their goals. AI plays a key role here, offering suggestions and analyzing thousands of possible outcomes to help optimize the design process in real-time. The evolving community block is displayed on a screen, with metrics like daylight, access to services, carbon footprint, and urban density visible in the top right corner. These metrics allow players to make informed decisions and understand the impact of their choices. This interactive experience fosters collaboration, dialogue, and innovation among visitors. What excites me most is the potential of AI and collaborative tools like "Future Communities" to bring diverse perspectives together, reducing individual biases and fostering solutions that benefit everyone involved. During my collaboration with Brad MacDonald, Director of Creative Media at Smithsonian AIB, we both marveled at the power of people and AI working hand-in-hand to tackle complex challenges. Brad recently noted, "This is an unprecedented interactive exhibit. For the first time, guests of all ages and backgrounds will collaborate with each other and AI to design a sustainable city block. It’s crucial that diverse voices shape our future. The way we build and train AI influences its recommendations, so we’re eager to see what creative solutions people come up with." The Co-Lab also benefits from the generous support of partners like Hyundai Motor Group, Kartell, NVIDIA, Starck, and Z by HP. Their contributions have been invaluable in bringing this vision to life. If you have the chance, don’t miss out on experiencing "Future Communities." Put on the hat of a developer, ecologist, or mayor, and design the kind of neighborhood you’d like to see in the future. For more information on FUTURES, visit the Smithsonian’s website. The exhibit officially opened on November 20 and will remain free and open to the public until July 2022. A huge thank you goes out to our collaborators and supporters who made this incredible project possible. Together, we’re shaping the future of design and technology collaboration.

Colored Nylon 6 Yarn

Nylon fiber fabrics were the first synthetic fabrics made entirely in a laboratory. A synthetic material derived from petroleum, nylon fibers were first used as a substitute for silk in military products and in items such as stockings during World War II. Now, because of nylon's abrasion resistance, durability and excellent elasticity, you will find more and more applications in sportswear, swimwear and other functional clothing. We often see or apply to the fiber and fabric in the market can be divided into two kinds of Nylon 6 fiber and Nylon 66 fiber.
