On November 13th, we’re launching keynotes and talks with our partners from around the globe to cover topics such as the state of AEC and the power of collaboration and data connectivity. You will hear from AEC leaders about how they’re using Speckle to achieve strategic goals and increase internal efficiencies.
On November 14th, we are aligning a set of workshops delivered by both Speckle and external partners, including Schmidt Hammer Lassen, Karamba 3D and HGA Architects, who will deep dive into specific use cases and showcase ways you can leverage Speckle to achieve successful workflows.
Here’s a breakdown of the workshops!
BooM: Build a Bill of (open) Materials app on top of Speckle
Delivered by Christian Kongsgaard and Morten Damm Sørensen from Kongsgaard, you will learn to build a quantity take-off application on top of Speckle to create a bill of materials.
The workshop is a crash course in building apps in TypeScript on top of Speckle, and you will touch upon many of Speckle's central concepts.
Both will go through and implement:
- authentication
- the 3D viewer
- querying data through the GraphQL API
- deploying the app
The workshop aims to give you fundamental knowledge about building apps on Speckle.
Procedural Geometry in C# with Speckle (1:30)
Christopher Diggins from Ara 3D will take you through using open-source libraries in C# to easily create and manipulate geometry, and bring the results into Speckle.
In the workshop, you will build a sample clash detection algorithm and experiment with constructive solid geometry.
To get the most out of this workshop, you’ll need basic proficiency in C#, but no prior knowledge of 3D programming is required.
Automated Embodied Carbon Calculation With Karamba3D
Join Matthew Tam from Karamba3D and leverage the power of Speckle Automate. The goal? Learn to automatically set up an embodied calculation for structures designed and optimised in Karamba3D. If you’re curious to see Automate in action, this workshop is for you.
DAGs and Speckle: Implementing an ETL pipeline including Machine Learning Models with Speckle, Python, Dagster, and Microsoft Fabric
Ryan Haunfelder and Iova from HGA Architects and Engineers will show you how to implement a complete end-to-end Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) to interface with the Speckle GraphQL API and create a tabular data structure across a portfolio of designs.
The workshop will assume intermediate knowledge of Python, SQL, git, and other common Data Science tools. A code repo will guide you through extracting data from the API, applying transformations, and writing parquet files to Delta Lake tables in Microsoft Fabric.
Bridging the Gaps Between Geotechnical Engineering and Civil Engineering
Joost will present the power of Bedrock, a Speckle-built product. During this hands-on workshop, you will learn how to apply computational design combined with Speckle to bridge the gaps between geotechnical and civil engineering.
This workshop aims to provide a methodology for applying computational design to any engineering discipline, with a concrete, hands-on example from geotechnical engineering.
In this workshop, we'll cover:
- What is computational design
- How to map out workflows in Data → Process → Data
- What is LightBIM - the representation of AEC data with minimal geometry + attributes - and how does it help with computational design
- How can we use the Python package Bedrock to get ground investigation (GI) data into Speckle
- How to obtain the bedrock topography from interpolating the GI data
- How to generate a piled foundation based on a piling schedule and bedrock topography
- Federating GI data, bedrock topography and foundation piles in Speckle for visualization, and QA through applying filters on the attributes assigned to the piles.
- If there's still time, the GI data -> bedrock topography step can be put into a Speckle Automate function.
Requirements:
- Rhino8
- Beginner Grasshopper skills
- Beginner Python skills
Speckle for JavaScript/Typescript Geeks
Join Victor Wanderley Barbosa from Schmidt Hanner Lassen to leverage Speckle.
In this workshop or session we cover the part of the Speckle ecosystem that's accessible for JavaScript/Typescript. We will cover some basic applications you can solve using the Viewer, the Object Loader, Object Sender and even Automate.
Last year, Victor and Daniel took us through building a full-stack web app using Speckle; you can find the full recording here.
See You at The SpeckleCon Workshops
Other conferences talk about the future of AEC. At SpeckleCon, you'll see it and learn how to achieve it.
Speckle's team will also be leading workshops outside of the ones mentioned in this blog. Be sure to check out the schedule since they're specifically tailored to you, the Speckle user, who wants to leverage our platform in the best possible way!
A complete overview is available at the SpeckleCon site, where you can register for a workshop in just a few clicks!
