| The Studio |
Overlooking the Embarcadero and the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, the Autodesk IDEA Studio is located in the east wing of the Autodesk Gallery at One Market Street in San Francisco.
Projects
Projects selected for the program apply innovative, design-driven solutions to real-life problems in business, society, or the environment. Projects that address sustainability challenges are given priority.
The project scope must be achievable within the proposed residency duration, usually 6 to 12 weeks.
Residents
Autodesk IDEA Studio residents include both scholars and industry professionals in design, engineering, architecture, and art. Residents work in an inspirational space that celebrates design. They have access to a wide range of design technology and coaching from experts who can help them apply the latest technology to accelerate their projects.
When we review proposals, we are looking for individuals with cross-disciplinary curiosity who are pursuing creative applications of design technology. The residents we select must be enthusiastic about sharing their innovative projects with visitors to the Autodesk Gallery visitors—typically industry groups, press, and others.
Proposals
Projects are selected on a rolling basis. We are currently accepting proposals for spring and summer of 2010. Both individual and team proposals are welcome.
In your proposal document, please include the following information:
- Name or topic of the project and a brief statement (two to three sentences) on its purpose and nature
