A Smart City design project where students use Autodesk Forma Site Design to build two site proposals, analyze them, and export a BIM model to Revit.

Signing in saves it for your whole team — everyone on your invite link sees the same two entries. Anything you shortlisted while signed out comes with you.
Decomposed from what the description asks for. Nothing added.
Site Design Creation
Design a smart city site of at least 1 square kilometer using Autodesk Forma Site Design with site limits, landscaping, buildings, and transportation.
Site Analysis
Run analyses inside Forma for area metrics, carbon, sun hours, daylight, wind, microclimate, noise, and solar energy.
Proposal Comparison
Create at least two site design proposals and compare them using Forma Board.
Revit Integration
Export the site BIM model, edit a building in Revit, and sync it back to Forma.
Presentation and Renders
Produce rendered images, a 30-second walkthrough video, and a presentation deck.
Both columns are read off the brief's own wording. Nothing here is inferred from the ministry's name.
The jury will check that you used Autodesk Forma Site Design without AI-generated or copied content, compared at least two proposals on Forma Board, ran the specified analyses, and successfully synced an edited building between Revit and Forma.
Nothing we looked for and failed to find.
A jury can still ask about these. Decide them deliberately rather than by accident.
Generated from the brief's own wording and the competition's published rules — never from a guess about what this ministry prefers.
Has any part of this been shown at a previous event, hackathon or college project?
The guidelines are explicit: your solution must not have appeared in any previous event or programme, of any sort. A recycled project is what a team under time pressure reaches for.
The brief asks for site design creation. How would you build that?
Decoded from SIH26114 itself — Design a smart city site of at least 1 square kilometer using Autodesk Forma Site Design with site limits, landscaping, buildings, and transportation. The brief asks for it by name.
The brief asks for site analysis. How would you build that?
Decoded from SIH26114 itself — Run analyses inside Forma for area metrics, carbon, sun hours, daylight, wind, microclimate, noise, and solar energy. The brief asks for it by name.
The brief asks for proposal comparison. How would you build that?
Decoded from SIH26114 itself — Create at least two site design proposals and compare them using Forma Board. The brief asks for it by name.
What the organisers attached, and what the brief assumes you can get.
Same organisation, same year. Reading two of theirs tells you more about what they care about than reading one.
Pick what you are about to do and copy the prompt. It carries the organisers' own wording, the constraints they never spell out, and an instruction not to invent requirements they never set.
Who has this problem, what already exists, and what you would have to find out.
The brief asks for revit integration. How would you build that?
Decoded from SIH26114 itself — Export the site BIM model, edit a building in Revit, and sync it back to Forma. The brief asks for it by name.

Where does your data come from — a published source, one you collect, or one you generate?
No dataset is attached to this problem statement, so sourcing it is part of the work and nobody told you that.
Why not use what already exists? Name the closest thing to this that is already running.
A team that has not named the alternative themselves is answering this for the first time in the room.
Which single thing will you demonstrate end to end, start to finish, with nothing skipped?
Ours, not a rule: a narrow thing that fully works survives questioning better than a broad thing that half works. If nobody on the team can name it, that is the finding.
Show me this working: the jury will check that you used Autodesk Forma Site Design without AI-generated or copied content, compared at least two proposals on Forma Board, ran the specified analyses, and successfully synced an edited building between Revit and Forma.
This is the evaluator read for your problem statement, decoded from the brief's own wording.
