The podcast highlights the significance of using data-driven processes in hospital construction.
Within the design process, people shouldn’t just be seen as resources who are expected to deliver something, they should be allowed to think more broadly about the problems they’re addressing.And design automation technology should enable that – it should create possibility, not define it.. We work directly with clients to create technology that addresses their business needs and activities – not necessarily just the needs of architects and designers.
This direct client contact has given us the opportunity to create a distinct identity as a team, and a distinct position within the industry.It also required us to develop skills that internal-facing teams don’t need.Having our own clients presents us with a range of questions that we have to answer, and it requires a particular set of capabilities.
We create solutions and give them to clients – for them to use.That means our product has to work independently of us – it has to achieve a level of external usability and stability..
Working in this way has also given us a lot of scope in terms of choosing what sort of team we want to be, to evolve sometimes according to the individuals who join the team, and to decide our own overall development path – but we’ve always been tethered strongly to the core intellectual drive of the company.. What is your position on AI/generative design/automation in construction/robotics in construction?.
AI relies on large data sets.Design to Value.Have you ever spent much time thinking about why things are the size they are?.
I have often come back to contemplating this topic when reading about mitochondria.We have mitochondria in all our cells, they convert carbohydrate molecules into packets of energy (ATP) that can then be used directly by our cells to function.
ATP powers muscle cell contraction, protein building, cell replication.. To go down a rabbit hole briefly, these fascinating organelles are the vestiges of ancient bacteria which somehow became intertwined with the larger eucaryote cells of animals and plants.They have their own DNA which is only passed on through the female line.
