Sketch, Prototype, Experience

Video from my presentation at the AEC Technology Symposium in 2014.

BIM, computation, robotic fabrication, drones, mobile sensing and weak AI. Despite all the advances in design and construction technologies in the past 10 years, we remain a profession stuck designing and erecting buildings more suited to 20th century social experiences. Our data still becomes concrete; we have yet to come to grips with the dematerialization and new social models that emerge from a combined physical and digital experience. It is time to transcend the viewpoints of the technician and the techno-aesthete, rescue our profession from rapidly approaching obsolescence, and look to redefine architecture as the modern field for environmental UX: Infrastructure as Platform.
