• Focus on teaching processes as a strategy to future-proof students

    Future-proof students by teaching processes, not just software. Emphasize adaptable skills to navigate rapid changes in the AEC industry. Equip learners for success beyond tech updates.

  • Challenges of education in the face of technological changes

    In a world of rapid technological change, education faces unprecedented challenges. As traditional methods become obsolete, the need for continuous learning and adaptability becomes critical. This piece explores how our evolving society demands new approaches to education to keep professionals relevant and successful.

  • Breaking the artificial echo-chamber

    Break free from AI echo chambers! Discover strategies to diversify your sources, challenge your biases, and enhance your critical thinking. Read on to learn how to make AI a true tool for growth.

  • The danger of artificial echo-chambers

    Let’s explore how AI can reinforce our beliefs, creating artificial echo chambers. Learn the risks and how to avoid letting AI dilute your critical thinking.

  • The space: AEC software

    Architects historically used drawings and models to understand space, with the introduction of perspective in the 1600s greatly enhancing this. Modern design software adds the dimension of time, creating immersive walkthroughs. Programs like Rhinoceros interpret space through points, lines, and planes, enabling precise spatial representations.

  • AI and the understanding of reality

    Understanding how we build AI systems offers insights into human perception and consciousness. While current AI can identify patterns, it lacks the ability to understand causality. Achieving true AGI may remain out of reach. #AI #ComputionalDesign

  • AI won’t take your job just yet

    Exploring AI, I found the hype overwhelming but reassuring insights show AI is a tool, not a replacement. The architecture industry faces misconceptions, but good design remains invaluable. AI won’t take your job soon.

  • The space: Points, lines and planes

    Understanding 3D space starts with a point and a vector. While mathematical theories are crucial in architecture and engineering education, Paul Klee’s artistic approach offers a simpler, elegant perspective on pictorial generation and spatial understanding.

  • Fundamentals: The node and the algorithm

    The elements that make up a parametric design involve nodes. This term, shared with computation and mathematics, has significant implications for the use of these programs and  techniques. While we will not delve into all the terminology, as other authors have documented these elements more comprehensively, we still need a basic framework. Woodbury (2011) defines…

  • Why is parametric design different?

    Discover how parametric design revolutionizes traditional CAD! By creating dynamic networks among design objects, it allows for automatic adjustments and endless possibilities. Say goodbye to repetitive manual changes and hello to a world of creative exploration!
