Hello Stranger!
JANUARY 03, 2017 IN BIM, ARCHITECTURE, INNOVATION
I’m a computational designer, a programmer and an architect. I work every day developing new solutions/processes for the AEC industry.
Here you will find new trends and innovative solutions that are currently being develop in the construction industry
So, if you are the type of passionate person who works in construction and you are all the time looking for new solutions and improvements this is the place for you.
We will go from the initial idea to the actual construction process and maintenance of the building.
.I think that the key to innovate is to start thinking of the lifecycle as a whole instead of small separated parts of the industry which are being improved by people who only think in their small box without taking into account other links of the process.
Technology has been evolving a lot in the last 100 years and even more in the last 10 years. It seems yesterday was the day when everybody started using Smart Phones, but given this situation it seems really strange that we haven’t almost changed the way we build in the AEC industry.
Yes, some will say that the technology we use, like Cranes, Drones, 3Dmodels,BIM, Lean Construction, etc., etc., is changing everything, but that is the matter, even with all these new innovations we haven't changed the way build and this can clearly be appreciated in the way we manage or even the materials we still use in our buildings.
It is extremely banal to say that we are living in a rapidly changing world, and it can be misleading too. The challenge is to understand that industries are not only getting faster, but also more volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous.
So, given the way we are used to live we think that the progress is just a little bit faster than a few years before so we feel like this:
But as Patrick Hollingworth stated in his book 'The light and Fast organization', there are three forces (People, Places and Technology) that combined are creating a perfect storm, where changes are not going to be as they always have been, and in the end, we are about to deal with the following situation:
So,don’t be afraid. Instead, embrace the change and start following me. I will give you many useful tools that you will need to survive in our industry!
