I'm amazed hearing about how your skills and knowledge extend to multiple disciplines. First time I've heard of DUS Architects - this is real modern architecture, sitting the cross…

You are 100% correct. My company is fortunate enough to have the working capital and time to explore ideas, which is honestly, one of the most fulfilling parts of my business. And …

My team design team are graduate architects, on the younger-ish side - 29 and 40. One worked for Santiago Calatrava - who, if you know, obviously models all his work. So it was sec…

We use it all the time for light studies. LAT / LONG inputs in Enscape. I've actually compared models to actual days and it's pretty f'n spot on.

It's as good as any VR FPS game.

We tried using this software - https://www.prevu3d.com/digital-twin-use-cases/design-engine... It looks cool, but it wasn't applicable for our day-to-day.

We really only use it for architectural intent. There is a dream that is BIM on residential projects, but unless the project has an extreme level of technical constrains, it's ofte…

I love hearing statements like this. I want to learn how to import into Unreal Engine... also throw a rocket launcher in there with some destruction physics. I will caution tho, co…

The Quest has joysticks to control your position. We managed to get one of our 70 year old clients to figure it out.

Really? Who? I've worked with two dozen AD100 Architecture firms. Most will farm out a couple static renders that will never again be updated throughout the evolution of the projec…

Absolutely both. Internally, we'll model something, move an element, etc., and we're able to evaluate the idea until it feels right. For clients, I don't know any other way at this…

My team uses this technology on a daily basis at my company. I run a design / build firm in the Hamptons, USA. We start all of our design projects with a 3d-first approach. Schemat…

It’s incredible. It just works.

There’s too much wrong with your line of thought to course correct here. “But ifs” and assumptions. There’s no cruelty, only the LLM’s projection of cruelty as a means to an end. I…

It's not about "consciousness". Philosophy is important to us. It provides insights into the world around us. It's paved the way for scientific breakthroughs. Theoretical maths and…

Here's a simple idea to consider: It doesn't matter. You won't be able to tell the difference. No one will. I don't think it's necessary to explain this idea further. Just think ab…

Isn’t it just AIs that have an agenda? That lie to you? That use a directive to persuade you to do / purchase something under the guise of authority? ChatGPT, etc. right now is the…

As a high-end residential GC, I'm very interested in this product. We have incorporated Leica Totalstation and BLK360 into our projects. It assists confirming layouts, as-built con…

And people skiing down Mt. Everest. I always like to think about progress and our current reality in comparison to Star Trek….

Respect

Great article. As a high-end residential builder, much of this also applies to my project managers and i shared the article with one of my APMs that's been promoted to PM.

Well I'm glad we've put this age old question to bed

I’ve read that a shuttle refit after landing was so expensive and time consuming to render it useless…. Feel free to correct if wrong.

Makes me think about George Carlin's standup route about how the Earth just wanted plastic and humans are 'just a surface nuisance'

The amount of learned knowledge and skills from an endeavor like the space program extends out to so many industries. We can thank the space program for vital inventions like the S…
