very good tutorial, thanks!

Great video, the questions related to the combination of grasshopper with bim environment were very clear and it's amazing to see that we could run directly into fabrication, without need to documentation.

Thank you so much Ollie and the ATN team!!!

Great tour! I never knew FabPub was part of an arch studio. Interviews were great and the BIM question was on point. I think in the future we will put the M in BIM to more work rather than making plans and documentation as we know it.

Thanks for allowing us to look inside ZHA! Keep these coming 🙌

Awesome tour - great to see where the magic happens. Thanks for sharing

Heatherwick studio soon?👀 love this series!

Great stuff man!

Great video!! Greetings from Colombia:)

perfect

What is Architecture?? I tell my kids’ if you can draw ✍️ you will never starve. Your dad’ could break my back…take the house and bank account!! I will still be ok!! All I have to do’ sit in a wheel chair on Market Street Sydney and show off my designs.. people will come to me’ Not because I am in a wheel chair BUT because they genuinely like my designs!! Now I may have to modify my original designs based on clients budget BUT that’s ok!! Not everyone is a movie 🎥 star who can afford PRADA designed 100k dress BUT the fact remains “if the house of PRADA” wanted to design $1000 dollar dresses for the mass market “they are most welcome” BUT the house of PRADA” chooses NOT to play in that segment!!!!

Great stuff, Zaha is definitely a peculiar firm (In a good way), one of a kind and definitely ground breaking. More stuff like this for sure. Smaller more traditional firms with a twist would also be interesting to see as well.

Really informative.

very inspiring cool

nice video! great insight on ZHAs working methods and thinking

Hi Olly ! It could be nice to make a tour about the architectural masters in London like DRL , emtech or something like that. In AA , Barttlet , Cambridge .

Really good stuff

It was amazing! Thanks Olly!

A great episode indeed. I have been wanting to understand what happens in CODE for a while and this was a great showcase. Thank you for making the episode.

Super awesome content

Such quality content. Amazing work showcasing what goes on 'behind the scenes', good job guys.

Fantastic episode!

W next episodw

Amazing video, but the background music is very annoying.

Great insights, new subscribers of both parties thank you again. PS "Where to go not how to drive"

Great conversation! Happy to see bigsters working on cool stuff!

U are amazing guys ! Congrats !

Its really great to see these videos and the amount of insights we are able to gain from one of Biggest firms in the world and you engaging with everyone in the comments, even the nasty ones. Good stuff. Appreciate it.

Thank you so much!

"a lot of architect would say: don't become an architect" true story

احب ان اتابعك . انا مهندس معماري من ليبيا... شكرا لك عزيزي

They Hiring Harry Potter as a Host.

❤❤❤

Exciting stuff

Amazing content! Thanks!!!

i didnt get it, ''computation'' skills is like using twinmotion, grasshopper, AI.. everything to make the images/rendering/videos?

Great job! Keep it up. 🙌

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: Wanyu He, co-founder of Lux AI and excool, is a pioneer in utilizing AI in architecture since 2016. She transitioned from traditional architecture practice, including time at OMA, to founding excool to explore tech-driven solutions. Excool focuses on relieving architects from repetitive tasks, emphasizing the value of critical thinking and decision-making in design. The company collaborates with architects, empowering them with tech tools for competitions and projects. Lux AI, a branch of excool, offers a public AI tool for image diffusion generation, allowing users to explore architectural designs. Wanyu He's journey highlights the shift towards tech-driven solutions in architecture, bridging traditional practices with innovative AI applications. The early adoption of AI in architecture, starting in 2016, led to the development of tools like Lux AI, revolutionizing design processes. Excool operates as a consultancy, providing AI solutions to architects rather than offering a publicly available subscription service. Architects are exploring AI image generation, with some using AI as inspiration and others focusing on using it as a tool. Different countries approach AI in architecture differently, with some focusing on fast work due to development demands. Architects need to rethink their role in the face of AI, focusing on problem-solving and societal/environmental contributions. AI-driven models like LookX's ABC (AI-driven BIM on Cloud) aim to revolutionize architecture by integrating deep learning with expert systems. ABC aims to create intelligent BIM models that can generate precise 3D geometry along with associated rules and regulations. The role of the architect in AI-driven design involves guiding the machine's outputs and making decisions based on generated content. Architects should embrace AI technology, seeing it as a tool to enhance design possibilities rather than a threat to their profession. AI has the potential to streamline design processes, allowing architects to focus more on creative thinking and problem-solving. Architects face numerous challenges in detecting, realizing, and rectifying design issues, creating a demand for innovative solutions. AI is likened to a tool, akin to cars; it accelerates processes but doesn't replace human reasoning. AI's role varies from linear task completion to idea generation, blurring the line between tool and collaborator. Current AI is narrow and lacks autonomous thinking, unlike AGI (Artificial General Intelligence), which remains in the realm of science fiction. Architects should grasp their role before integrating AI tools, ensuring confidence in technology adoption. Understanding AI basics and theory can guide architects in selecting suitable technologies. Cross-disciplinary collaboration is essential for future architectural practices, integrating technology seamlessly. Exciting developments outside AI, such as virtual reality and space technology, offer new dimensions for architectural exploration. Made with HARPA AI

Thanks for the effort, I´m an architect and I really appreciate videos like this. 👏

They botched the Google office so I'm assuming the people at BIG are not very technical.

Very nice

I love Silvia's passion!. She really kept me engaged in this. Wonderful convo, thanks a lot!

Coop..

Great content as always, if it would be possible to record at 1080p that would be great, makes it easier to read the buttons on the screen recording. Best,

Thanks

Great! @architech.network I'm curious about the hiring processes for AEC projects you're involved in internationally. Do clients have visibility into the use of this information and do they include minimum requirements? Also, how are these processes integrated into the construction phases? Sending warm regards from Brazil!"

💥💥💥 Thank you

Very insightful

love it 🤩
