  • A Real Time Hidden Picture Puzzle: Solved with Jonathan Ramirez
    The best way to approach a workplace injury is to prevent it from happening in the first place. Traditionally, one of the most dangerous workplace environments can be found in the construction industry. Technology is helping reduce the perilous nature in various ways, but advancements in drone functionality are drastically improving the landscape. On today's podcast, our host had a chat with Jonathan Ramirez, an Account Representative from Hangar. They discussed the help that Hangar is providing for California's wildfire relief, the resistance that drone deployment has to face, how repeatable programming can significantly improve project management, and what the actual future might hold for machine PLUS human collaboration.

  • Part 2: New York Real Estate, Simplified with Olivia Jovine & Andrew Kalish of Localize.city

    Zoning is more than permitted uses and petitions; it’s about making the livability of neighborhood blocks better for everyone. In this episode of the AEC podcast, we spoke to urban planner Olivia Jovine and Andrew Kalish, head of strategic partnerships at Localize.city, a New York-based artificial intelligence startup that provides multiple sets of real-time, complex data together in a usable app.

    They shared a fascinating background on New York City zoning and how boroughs like Brooklyn have twice-evolved to create more affordable living and work space in an otherwise inhospitable New York real estate market. Apps like Localize.city bring an immense amount of data that is typically only available in user-unfriendly formats and puts it to good and easy use.

  • Capturing Reality: Better Than Ever with Clair Vander Zwaag of Leica Geosystems
    What if there was a way to see potential problems on your building construction project before they occur – a simple tool that instantly gave you comprehensive, accurate information so that you could quickly analyze existing conditions and avoid errors? How would that capability transform your work? Seems far-fetched...but that technology is already being put to good use.
    3D laser scanning reality capture provides that insight, and on today’s podcast, our host had a conversation with Clair Vander Zwaag, Building & Construction Reality Capture Manager for Leica Geosystems in the U.S, who explained how the latest innovations from Leica Geosystems are making it faster and easier to integrate laser scanning into existing building construction workflows. They discussed the massive advances in scanning speed with the RTC360, how the company continues to push forward to improve existing technology and develop new tools, and how they approach each customer relationship as a true partnership.

  • The Art of Geometry in the Art of Design with Dr. Masoud Akbarzadeh of UPenn

    On today's podcast, Sean Heath had a chat with Masoud Akbarzadeh, an assistant professor of architecture in Structures and Advanced Technologies and the director of the Polyhedral Structures Laboratory (PSL) at the University of Pennsylvania School of Design (PennDesign).

    They discussed the history of geometrical concepts in architectural design (and how Antoni Gaudi applied this approach), the intuitive challenge of tools being based on analysis instead of actual design, the sociological perspectives that current students of design bring into the field, and the growing impact that environmental concerns will have on all future construction and how that can change the basic principles of design.

  • Net-Zero to Housing Hero with Lois Arena of Steven Winter Associates
    While municipal carbon deduction goals are forcing more widespread adoption of net-zero buildings, especially commercial real estate in the United States, there's a surprising early adopter for this ultra-green construction: affordable housing builders. In this episode of the AEC Podcast, we talk to Lois Arena, senior mechanical engineer with Steven Winters Associates and internationally-recognized passive house expert, who says she's seeing multi-family affordable housing emerge as a market leader in net-zero building construction. "They own their building for the life of the building so the financial incentive really makes sense for them," Arena says.

They discussed the importance of environmentally responsible sustainability in their approach, a groundbreaking usage for recycled plastic bottles, and some of the challenges that sound management consistently presents. Vicoustic isn't just looking at recording studios, either; they are "trying to develop products that can be good in EVERY field."

  • Restoring History is Better Than Rebuilding It with Michael Adlerstein from Columbia University

    On today’s podcast, Sean Heath had a chat with Michael Adlerstein, former Adjunct Professor, Columbia University Graduate School of Architecture and recently retired Assistant Secretary General for the Renovation of the United Nations.

    They discussed the awe that accompanies that type of project, the critical need to preserve a building’s original intent when restoring it, balancing the energy needs with the structural integrity, and what it feels like to be responsible for such historic places. (Sean might have gotten a little speechless. Seriously.)
