Petr's career highlights include working at Kieran Timberlake, NBBJ, and currently at Chaos (after a merger with Andscape), where he has contributed to both architectural projects and software development. At Kieran Timberlake, he worked on a University of Seattle student housing project that won an AIA award, where zoning challenges led him to develop his first automation tools. At NBBJ, he helped develop the Applied Science Toolkit, collaborating with experts from various fields including psychology to create better healthcare spaces through data-driven design. A significant project at NBBJ was the Amazon Spheres in Seattle, where he developed automation tools to optimize the glass facade's unique pieces for cost efficiency while maintaining the design vision. Early in his career, he was inspired by pioneers like Andrew Heumann and Brian Ringley, who were among the first to integrate technology into architectural design processes. He emphasizes that rule-based aspects of architecture (like building codes and ADA compliance) are prime candidates for automation, potentially reducing human error and improving efficiency. Regarding AI in architecture, he believes the technology hasn't yet reached its full potential, comparing it to the BIM revolution where tools eventually became mission-critical rather than optional. He identifies a significant challenge in AI adoption: the lack of AEC-specific training data due to IP and client ownership issues, suggesting that industry organizations like AIA could help address this through contract modifications. On accessibility of technology, he stresses the importance of democratizing tools for smaller firms, noting that the average architecture firm has just two employees and limited resources for advanced technology. Looking ahead, he sees AI as augmenting rather than replacing creativity, similar to how Adobe's tools enhance rather than replace artistic capability.

I talk with Denis Blount in this episode about the Amazon Spheres Understory, located in Seattle, WA. Understory is a separate studio/exhibition space located in the ground level of the Amazon Spheres, which, as the name implies, is a series of spherical buildings framed out of steel and clad with glass. The Amazon Spheres opened in January 2018, serves as a collaborative workspace for Amazon employees and is filled with over 40,000 plants. The building focuses on biophilic design, art, technology, engineering and design. Understory presented several acoustical challenges that Denis and his team needed to solve, including a circular layout and several hard surfaces throughout. Denis and his team were able to virtually simulate the listening experience of Understory in private listening sessions in Arup's Soundlab prior to construction so that the design team could determine the best sound quality for the space. Denis is an associate principal with Arup in Seattle, WA. https://www.arup.com/perspectives/soundlabhttps://www.seattlespheres.com/visit-understoryIf you enjoy this show and want more content like this, visit gablmedia.comMentioned in this episode:Gabl Membership

"You can't reach the brain till you go through the heart" - Joe Dombrowski I'm thrilled to welcome back Joe Dombrowski (@mrDtimes3) to the show after our wonderful episode on Plants in the Classroom a couple of years ago. Since then a lot has changed, Joe and I have become IRL friends (I was able to visit him in 2019 and we took an amazing trip to the Amazon Spheres together which you'll hear about in the episode), Joe has become a full time comedian AND... classrooms are looking very different these days. Since many kids are home with the pandemic, Joe and I thought we'd put together a list of fun planty experiments and projects to do with kids while we spend this time at home together. There is a project for every type of kid and every age. We hope this episode helps with ideas to get children (or adult children like us!) off of their phones and into the dirt and getting curious about plants.

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has made a pledge to dole out $10 billions worth of grants to help slow down climate change. Environmentalists tell us where the money should go. Also, an aid worker knows first hand the danger of landmines; American basketball fans say Slovenia superstar Luka Doncic is the game’s future; an update on why one American couple decided to stay on a cruise ship under quarantine rather than be evacuated; plus, a college course on the late Mexican American singer Selena and what we can learn about Latino identity and culture.

Gary names America's top five bakeries (and skips the Museum of Sex), Michael visits the Amazon Spheres (and regrets being such a curmudgeon) and the duo discuss Eater's updated National 38, Tokyo and San Francisco's new Michelin three-star restaurants and the dream job that isn't. At the end, each name their biggest surprises of the young NBA season, Intro: Yung Kartz, "Been Awhile" freemusicarchive.org/music/Yung_Kar…18/Been_Awhile

In this talk, we consider the unique challenges of the biosphere that recently opened in downtown Seattle. We address two of those challenges using modern deep learning techniques: computer-vision-based plant health monitoring, and microclimate anomaly detection using autoencoders on time-series data extracted from multiple sensors. Our focus is on architecting the inference pipelines for solving these problems at scale. Specifically, we highlight the inference steps and TensorRT optimizations for AWS Greengrass ML inference.

How can home garden design be inspired by award-winning and large-scale public projects?  Whatever the size of your home garden, there are key tips you can take away from these amazing examples of landscape and building design – The High Line in New York, and The Spheres in Seattle.  SHOW NOTES FOR THIS EPISODE:  Now before I get stuck into today’s podcast, I wanted to quickly mention that, if you’re listening to this on the day of release – the 7th of August – then this is the last day you can join “How to Get it Right in Your Reno or New Home”.   This is my 6 week online course that gets you ready for your renovation or building project.   It’s the last live round I’m running for 2018 … so don’t miss the chance to get guidance for your project, get your questions answered, and kick off your project in the best possible way.   Even if you’re still working with a designer, now is the time to be sure you’re getting your design right.   So, head to www.undercoverarchitect.com/getitirightnow to join now, and not miss out.   In this episode, I’m heading back to the USA, and sharing 2 incredible projects where gardens and landscape were designed in an innovative way.   I think they’ll help you with ideas for your home, whether you’re renovating or building, and whatever the size of your project.   These projects are The High Line in New York, and The Spheres (or Amazon Spheres) in Seattle.  The High Line is an urban park, sitting 30 feet, or 10 metres in the air. It’s a repurposed rail-line, and it has a fascinating history. It’s 1.45 miles or 2.33km long, and has been opening since 2009, as new sections are completed.  In the podcast, I share 2 key ideas from the High Line that can inspire your home garden design. These are:  #1 Remembering history (of your home, or the area it is situated in) and how that memory can enrich the quality of your home design  #2 Looking at the small things, and how they can create intimacy and a sense of relaxation in your home garden design (and the home itself).  You can see photographs and more information about the High Line in this blog I wrote here >>> www.undercoverarchitect.com/the-high-line-new-york  The Spheres are glass domed structures built by Amazon to provide a place for its employees where they can be directly connected to nature, within an urban location (the CBD of Seattle). They were built between 2013 and 2018, and house over 40,000 plants, as well as cafes, meeting rooms, and break-out spaces for employees to meet, sit, work and enjoy.  There are lots of ideas here to inspire your home garden design, and I talk about those, as well as 2 in particular:  #1 The impact of volume  #2 The impact of natural light.  You can see photographs and more information about The Spheres in this blog I wrote here >>> www.undercoverarchitect.com/the-spheres-amazon-seattle  There’s loads more in this episode of the podcast to help you with your home garden design – no matter its size. So, let’s dive in …  FOR RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS PODCAST CLICK HERE
