Inside Autodesk's Lobby/Museum

As we reported last month, you have until January to catch the exhibition of Spark Award winners at the new Autodesk Gallery in downtown San Francisco. But what exactly is the Autodesk Gallery? We’re glad you asked! The sleek and sustainably-designed exhibition space was born when the AutoCAD software publisher decided to invest $10 million in transforming its 16,500-square-foot briefing center into a showplace for the creations of its customers, which range from Lego (thus the 62,000-brick parasaurolophus pictured at left) to Skidmore, Owings, & Merrill.
