Thoughts on BIM compliance, IFC/IDS standards, AI-assisted workflows, and building better AEC tools.
Randy Deutsch's Superusers describes a class of design technology specialists in architecture. I read it as one of them, and argue that beneath his list of traits sits a single principle: connectivity. The design technologist is architecture's connective tissue.
Why structural and environmental analysis belong in the same Grasshopper model, and how Karamba3D and Ladybug can feed one early-design feedback loop instead of a slow, sequential handoff.
How I used Microsoft Power Automate to eliminate repetitive BIM coordination tasks on a major airport project, freeing the team for higher-value work.
A practical introduction to Information Delivery Specification (IDS) and how it enables automated BIM model validation.
Lessons learned from automating facade fabrication data on complex building projects, from parametric modeling to production-ready output.
