-National Speaker


In this discussion, I will be so bold as to make predictions as to where I believe our industry is going in the next 3 to 10 years. With advancements in generative design, software algorithms, and robotic construction, our current processes are going to be changing quite a bit. We will see more and more done by computers and machines than we have ever seen. Rather than Building Information Modeling (BIM), we are going to see Building Information Optimization. In contrast, rather than manually drawing walls, doors, and columns for what we think is a good design, we will feed the computer "rules" instructing it to give us a building’s optimal footprint, structural load capacity, and thermal performance. Things that took months will be done in a day. What does this mean for you? How do you play a part in this changing process? Come to find out how. This is sure to be an exciting and enlightening discussion.

Class summary


At the end of this class, you will be able to:

Know what trends and technologies are coming to our industry

Know how algorithms and robotics will drastically change the design/build process

Understand how these new processes will affect you directly and indirectly

Know how to best prepare yourself and your firm for these changing processes

There will be haters…


Can a Robot Write a Symphony?

In Slate.com Chris Wilson states

“Cope has been writing software to

help him compose music for 30

years, and he long ago reached the

point where most people can't tell

the difference between real Bach

and the Bach-like compositions his

computer can produce. Audiences

have been moved to tears by

melodies created by algorithms”


Can a Robot turn a canvas into a beautiful masterpiece?Pindar Van Arman, a technology

artist and software engineer, has

built a robot that can paint art.


Can algorithms design a building? Can a Robot build a structure?


Data gathering Data Manipulation Data Optimization

Where we’ve been Where we are Where we are going

Bridging the Gap


How Do I Know Where We Are Going?

It’s already happening…

A few more years before it is mainstream


Where Have We Been?


Hunters and [Data] Gathers


[Hunting] Assessing | [Manually] Re-model


I can only design a few options with the timeline and budget allocated


[Data] Gathering


Static Modeling vs Parametricism and [Algorithmic] Modeling


Next step is [Co-Creation]

Using Data to [inform] buildings

Earliest signs of this in my own work

Rigid and not intuitive to edit Form


Using [Data] + [Algorithmic editors] to [inform] buildings

Algorithmic modeling much easier and intuitive to edit

Panels planar and Rationalized


“Dynamo extends building information modeling with the

data and logic environment of a graphical algorithm editor”


[Tool Building] Age…


Static Modeling vs [Algorithmic] Modeling

Computer Assisted Craftsmanship


[Computer] Assisted [Craftsmanship]

Multiple Options created very quickly

Same labor cost whether straight or curved



CNC (Computer Numerical Control) Computer converts the design produced by Computer software into numbers for fabrication

AI BIM = Optimized [3D Coordination]

Future: Feed the computer the load requirements, room types, etc. and the computer algorithm autonomously designs, routes, and models the MEP information


AI BIM = Optimized [Structure]

Manual analysis and modeling is going away

Design-driven reinforcement calculation program for 3D cage modeling
