David Fano, Craig Barbieri and Henry Goeke Win First 3D Autodesk University Design Slam Contest
David Fano, Craig Barbieri and Henry Goeke were crowned winners of the Autodesk University (AU) Design Slam in the categories of Architecture: "Less AND More," Architecture: "Less is More" and Industrial Design: "Watch This," respectively. AU Design Slam, presented by Cut&Paste, is a live-on-stage design competition where contestants employ Autodesk software, quick-witted design and high-energy showmanship to create digital designs that wowed the audience and the judges.
Fano's design of a modern, collective social dwelling on the East River of New York secured his first place win in the Architecture: "Less AND More" category; Barbieri's design of a complement building to the Barcelona Pavilion by Mies van der Rohe garnered him first place in the Architecture: "Less is More" category; while Goeke's design of a present day watch for the 16-25 age group secured his first place win in the Industrial Design: "Watch This" category.
Inspired by the global success of Cut&Paste's annual Digital Design Tournament, the AU Design Slam adapted this fast-paced format to test the skill, speed and stage presence of the contestants as they create original designs in rounds of 20 minutes while their work is shown in real-time on large-scale projections.
