154: ‘Construction is Sick’, with Jim Walker
9 april 2024 |
71 min
Jim Walker joins the podcast to talk about the systemic problems plaguing the construction industry and the parallels in architecture and engineering.
Jim brings over 20 years of experience in general contracting and project management across North America from sweeping floors at construction sites to working for major firms like PCL and EllisDon.
Our conversation highlights the industry's evolution towards digital transformation, increasing complexity and, yet in many ways, inefficiency. But more importantly, we discuss the concept of construction being 'sick', the adversarial nature of traditional contract models, toxic work environments, health issues among workers, the value of the blue collar work and the trades, pros and cons of different project delivery models, risk and reward, and more.
Overall, the episode encapsulates a critical analysis of the construction industry's challenges and potential paths forward through innovation and systemic change.

26 mars 2024 |
68 min
Susan Young joins the podcast to talk about the art of persuasive communication and storytelling, particularly in leadership roles within the AEC industry. We discuss the importance of not only building but reading the room, asking quality questions, and practicing deep listening. The conversation also explores how being fully present and curious can lead to more effective interactions and projects.
Susan underscores the two key traits of superior leaders: confidence and excellent communication skills, emphasizing that these are skills that can be learned and honed. The conversation highlights the role of soft skills in conveying knowledge effectively, stating that it doesn't matter what you know if you can't communicate and articulate it to others.
We further discuss the crucial role of making a strong first impression, owning the fact that you're a media production company via social media and the internet, and understanding the art of the headline to hook your audience. The episode wraps up with a discussion on a people-centric approach to talking about tech and tools in firms, highlighting that we relate most to the human to human (H2H) stories.

120: ‘Project Hillside’, with Ryan Cohen and Matt Clarey
11 juli 2023 |
64 min
Ryan Cohen and Matt Clarey of Neoscape join the podcast to talk about to talk about Project Hillside. You may not know this project from its “Hillside” name, but you probably have seen and heard of it before (perhaps more-so if you’re coming from an architectural background) as architect Moshe Safdie’s Habitat, an architectural landmark which was built in Montreal, Quebec, Canada in 1967 for the World’s Fair… although what was built, it turns out, was only an amended version of the overall vision from Safdie’s master’s thesis project at the School of Architecture at McGill University.
Today Project Hillside brings the entire vision to life through an incredibly detailed and fully immersive digital architectural experience, which was a collaboration between the teams of people at Neoscape, Moshe Safdie Architects, and Epic Games’ Unreal Engine.
In this episode Matt, Ryan, and Evan talk about the thousands of hours, dozens of people, and the tools and tech it took to create the experience, as well as the new potentials for user experience and storytelling within immersive digital environments.

108: ‘Systematization Before Automation’, with Oliver David (OD) Krieg
14 december 2022 |
96 min
Oliver David (OD) Krieg of Intelligent City joins the podcast to talk about topics at the intersection of computational design, robotic fabrication, and turn-key urban housing as a product. We begin with OD’s journey from school at ICD in Germany to where he is currently at Intelligent City, the value and benefits of bottom-up as opposed to top-down initiatives, moving away from project thinking to a product company, navigating risk versus reward in manufacturing, design for manufacture and assembly (DFMA) and industrialized construction, prefab in relation to mass timber highrise, density, housing, sustainability, and carbon neutrality, where parametric design fits into the process, the definition of parametric manufacturing and mass customization, what it’s like building an industry from scratch, building architecture on top of tech in relation to a tech-first company (versus a project-first or architecture-first company), and why systematization must occur before automation.

085: ‘The Rigor of Information’, with Wassim Jabi
31 maj 2022 |
72 min
Special guest Wassim Jabi of Topologic BIM joins the podcast to talk about how Topologic grew out of a need to build lightweight models that are adept at representing space rather than merely components and assemblies of manufactured parts, the notion of a spatial vocabulary and creating a ‘dictionary of dictionaries’ in architectural design software, why the concepts in Topologic have incredible utility for practitioners today, the value of Topologic and the library being open source, how it works and what the existing platforms that it works within are (including the excitement around other open source software including FreeCAD, Blender, and BlenderBIM), making the case for why there’s no risk in using open source software, why the Topologic team is rethinking the BIM process by going from simplicity to complexity rather than how other BIM platforms force us to make something complex up front which in turn makes it more difficult to change things later, how this approach gives the design team the ability to ask the model questions and get meaningful answers, the idea of ‘material passports’ and the blockchain, how digital twins fit into this from an owner’s point of view, where things might be headed in the future with this groundwork that’s been laid, and more.

17 maj 2022 |
63 min
Special guest Paul Petrunia of Archinect joins the podcast to talk about the so-called early days of the internet and how Archinect began coinciding with Paul’s architectural education at SCI-Arc.

We also discuss the role of an entity like Archinect having and expressing their values on the internet as guideposts for a community, the idea of YourName versus pseudonyms on platforms in regards to expressing one’s thoughts and cancel culture, the civility or lack thereof in conversations online today, the different ways in which people communicate online, the underpinnings of the counterculture at SCI-Arc and Archinect, the effects of social media on one’s mental health, and so much more.

046: ‘The Moment’, with Ian Janicki
25 maj 2021 |
60 min
Special guest Ian Janicki of Outfit joins the podcast to talk about ‘The Moment‘.
The Moment serves as a backdrop to kick off a conversation about what we're seeing happening in AEC Tech. The moniker is in reference to the unforeseen convergence of several tech companies in the mid 1990's that brought so-called extreme sports into the mainstream. We then use this as a framework to examine which startups currently working (possibly/hopefully in concert with one another) toward The Moment for AEC.
Steve Jobs said in his 2005 Stanford Commencement Address: “You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.”
In this episode we explore the topics of platforms and apps, puzzles and puzzle pieces, infrastructure and API's, what's changing and what's not changing in the next 10 years, the choice to work on hard projects versus latching on to shiny objects, moving bits versus marshaling atoms, and more.
