Autodesk - Autodesk and the Natural World Museum Collaborate to Promote Sustainable Design for a Healthier Environment
Design Software Leader is Title Sponsor
of Travelling Art Exhibition Addressing Global Climate Change
Autodesk, the world leader in 2D and 3D design software for
the manufacturing, building and construction, and media and
entertainment markets, is working with the Natural World Museum
to drive awareness of global environmental issues and promote
sustainable design. Autodesk is the title sponsor of the
traveling exhibition, Envisioning Change, hosted by the Natural
World Museum and the United Nations Environment Programme, which
offers thought-provoking perspectives on the issue of climate
change from artists around the world. The relationship
demonstrates a collaboration between public and private sector
organisations with similar visions to inform and promote
innovations that address current and future sustainable design
challenges. In addition, Autodesk helped to bring the exhibit to
life as the layout was designed using Autodesk software.
The Natural World Museum is a non-profit organisation that
presents art through innovative programs to inspire and engage
the public in environmental awareness and action. The
Envisioning Change exhibition, which follows the theme of this
year’s United Nations World Environment Day, “Melting Ice – A
Hot Topic,” brings together 40 artists from 25 countries to
address issues confronting our changing environment as reflected
in the melting and thawing of ice, snow and permafrost from the
Himalayas to Kilimanjaro, from the Andes to the Arctic.
“Autodesk is proud to support the Natural World Museum and the
Envisioning Change exhibit,” said Carl Bass, president and CEO,
Autodesk. “We have a strong 25-year history of confronting
design challenges head on and are committed to helping customers
embrace sustainable design practices to address today’s
environmental concerns. Through these collective efforts and
Autodesk’s technology, we hope to help designers in all
industries create a more sustainable world.”
“We’re excited to be working with Autodesk to help promote the
need for sustainable design on a global scale,” said Mia Hanak,
Executive Director, Natural World Museum. “As a key sponsor for
Envisioning Change, Autodesk’s vision for impacting change
through design contributes to our goal of inspiring creative
sustainable solutions worldwide.”
Envisioning Change - “Melting Ice – A Hot Topic” will launch at
the Nobel Peace Center in Oslo, Norway, during United Nations
World Environment Day on June 5, 2007, and remain on display
through the end of August. The exhibit will travel to the BOZAR
Centre for Fine Arts in Brussels, Belgium, in October 2007 and
to Chicago in spring 2008.
Autodesk is committed to driving awareness and adoption of
sustainable design through public and private partnerships, with
organisations such as the U.S. Green Building Council and
Integrated Energy Solutions, and as a major sponsor of a
multi-segment public television series on sustainable design.
Autodesk also provides technology, education and support for
initiatives that inform and promote innovations that address
current and future sustainable design challenges.
