IntroductionToday we welcome Joe Purtle, who is here to talk to us about concrete forms. Joe has been in construction for well over two decades, and he's currently the COO of Doka, which specializes in forming and shoring. Eddie shares a bit about his experience in construction back in the 2x4 and plywood days. He shares how cool it's been to see the complexity of forms increase over time and to see how those forms have become woven into BIM software.We discuss how designers and other stakeholders view concrete forms. Joe explains that the placement of concrete drives the schedule on many large projects. And the placement of concrete is largely dependent on the completion of formwork. Cycling of formwork and big dadgum messesEddie asks Joe to explain the cycling (reuse) of forms on large projects. Doka's job is to understand the complicated aspects of forming and pouring and how these complexities can affect a schedule. We discuss the benefits of modular approaches and cycling of forms. Joe discusses the importance of knowledgeable planning and the unfortunate results when things to wrong and a form gets trapped. It's what the bros and their Georgia buddies would call a “dadgum mess.”Joe shares about how he has seen companies process decisions related to renting vs. buying. He also discusses sustainability issues and equipment that measures temperature and pressure to optimize the curing process. We get into the optimization of pouring and the incorporation of reusable sensors that give designers and project managers the ability to know things they would have previously not known without expensive, messy tests. Prefab of formworkEddie asks Joe to share about prefab work such as cast-in-place parking garages. Joe explains that Doka can build and ship complete beam forms that are pretty much ready to plug and play when they arrive at the job site. They have CNC machines that can put curves into forms with highly detailed specs when the customer wants it. Tyler connects these abilities to the overall increase in complexity of structures. Joe shares about the pride we've discussed in previous episodes that comes with seeing a really cool building and being able to say you had something to do with that. BIM ModelingEddie asks Joe to explain how Doka's work integrates with the BIM process. He explains that they're already working within Revit and Tekla but that they are quickly extending their integration even further. We discuss how AI is streamline design. Then there are the AI features that simply increase the team's everyday operations. Joe shares some thoughts about “real BIM” vs. “Hollywood BIM” and how these differences affect scheduling. Eddie shares some thoughts from a designer's perspective as well as thoughts about storing huge form components that are not easy to move. We spend some time discussing the design rules being used to form AI and how significantly this process will likely change design work in the future. Then we discuss the role that human insight and finesse play in this process. Megaphone Message Joe's message to the industry is this: The industry needs to come together and stop working in silos. The sooner we can create true collaboration through the available technologies, the sooner we'll progress to a future we can't even imagine at this point.

En este episodio de BIMrras nos ponemos serios, aunque sea con risas. Y lo hacemos para hablar de algo que llevamos tiempo sufriendo: nuestros amados (y odiados) softwares de autoría BIM. Esos que deberían estar a la vanguardia y se han convertido en herramientas perezosas, con actualizaciones cosméticas y mejoras que no mejoran nada. Ya no hablamos de innovación. Hablamos de parches. De que los programas más usados en el sector AEC parecen vivir en un ciclo de versiones que solo añaden lo justo para justificar una nueva licencia. De una industria incapaz de adaptarse a sus propios usuarios. De una falta total de visión en un entorno que necesita justo lo contrario. Y sí, en este episodio lo decimos sin anestesia. Bienvenido al episodio 181 de BIMrras. Contenido del episodio: 00:00 Introducción y presentación del equipo 04:10 Tema central: estado actual del software BIM 10:20 Problemas de instalación y consumo de recursos 17:30 Críticas a la falta de innovación en software 24:30 Dificultades de usabilidad y experiencia de usuario 33:00 Software paramétrico y gestión de datos 43:15 Nuevas propuestas: plataformas web y modularidad 48:40 Problemas de diseño desde el enfoque del desarrollador 54:00 Fragmentación del software y necesidad de interoperabilidad 59:10 Limitaciones del software en fase de obra 1:10:20 Reflexión final sobre el futuro del software BIM
Join the conversation with Sam Oldixon, an architect whose designs are as robust in social purpose as they are in beauty. From his roots in South Minneapolis to reservations in northern Minnesota, Sam's journey is more than just a tale of professional success; it's a narrative woven with threads of community upliftment and justice. His role as CEO of Full Circle Indigenous Planning and Design LLC is not merely a title, but a mission statement, underlining his commitment to fostering Indigenous spaces that resonate with cultural pride and resilience.This episode peels back the layers of architecture to reveal its potent role in the curation of cultural heritage within Indigenous communities. We discuss the balancing act of honoring traditional values through sustainable practices while engaging in the art of modern innovation. Sam imparts his wisdom on how the thoughtful design of communal spaces can serve as heartbeats of cultural activity, pulsing with the life and values of the people they were created for. It's a celebration of spaces that do more than function—they tell stories, preserve legacies, and inspire.Looking ahead, we tackle the future of Indigenous architecture and the ripple effects of environmental justice in urban planning. With insights gleaned from Sam's time at the Harvard Graduate School of Design, we consider the influence of strategic urban planning in nurturing the relationship between Indigenous communities and their environments. The dialogue branches into mentorship's critical role in shaping future architects and planners, as well as the intriguing potential of artificial intelligence in the design process. Our exchange is enriched with visions of fostering dignity and creating spaces that reflect the vibrant tapestry of Indigenous culture.

La inteligencia artificial ha dejado de ser esa promesa del futuro que solo salía en presentaciones de marketing y películas malas. Hoy está en tus presupuestos, en tus correos, en tus entregables y, si te descuidas, hasta en tu firma de correo. En este episodio de BIMrras, nos metemos hasta el fondo en cómo la IA está redefiniendo lo que significa ser un profesional en el sector AEC. Nos preguntamos, sin anestesia, si estamos ante una herramienta más, una amenaza velada o el principio del fin de esa época dorada en la que podías improvisar todo el día y luego decir que estabas “resolviendo sobre la marcha”. Spoiler: la IA no improvisa. Y eso, amigos, tiene consecuencias. Nos acompañan los sospechosos habituales —Evelio, Rafa y Rogelio— en modo análisis brutal y con un objetivo claro: separar el hype del trabajo serio, el miedo de la pereza, y las oportunidades reales de las películas de Schwarzenegger.

BIM has once again partnered with aquaculture accelerator Hatch Blue to deliver the 2025 Aquatech Innovation Studio - a free, intensive six-day programme supporting early-stage aquatech companies through expert mentoring, investor readiness training, and technical development. The initiative forms part of BIM's Aquatech Development Programme, supported by the European Maritime, Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund (2021-2027). The BIM Innovation Studio aims to strengthen Ireland's reputation as a global hub for aquatech, supporting the growth of a high-potential sector already contributing over €200 million to the Irish economy annually. Now in its seventh year, the studio has helped over 60 companies scale, with participants going on to raise investment, create more than 200 hi-tech jobs, and launch innovative solutions for sustainable aquaculture. The Innovation Studio welcomes applications from companies working in areas such as artificial intelligence, marine engineering, water quality monitoring, genetics, feed additives, and pharmaceuticals - any innovation that contributes to sustainable seafood production and ocean health. "BIM's commitment to transforming Ireland into a global leader in Aquatech continues with the launch of the BIM Innovation Studio 2025", said Damien Toner, BIM Aquatech Business Manager. "Participants will gain invaluable insights into the sector, alongside exposure to opportunities that will help them thrive in a rapidly evolving global market. The Irish aquatech sector is set for exponential growth in the coming years, and the BIM Aquatech Innovation Studio 2025 is central to ensuring Ireland remains at the forefront of this emerging global industry." Applications are open until 18 July 2025. The studio will run from 13 to 18 October at the PorterShed in Galway. Several participating companies will be selected to pitch at the BlueAmbition25 Conference on 23 October in Dublin, where the BIM Aquatech Business of the Year 2025 will also be announced. "The BIM Aquatech Innovation Studio provides a springboard for aquatech innovations, connecting Studio participants with industry experts, mentors, and investors worldwide," said Jessica Giannoumis, Hatch Blue's Aquatech Community Manager for Ireland. "Whether it's sensor technology, alternative seafood solutions, or water management strategies, this is the ultimate opportunity to refine your aquatech vision." Each of the eight to ten successful applicants will be matched with dedicated mentors and given access to Hatch Blue's global network of aquaculture and investment experts. One example of studio success is Auranta, a Dublin-based biotech company, transforming global aquaculture with its innovative fish feed products designed to enhance the immunity and gut health of species like shrimp and salmon. In recognition of its pioneering contributions, Auranta was honoured with the BIM Aquatech Business of the Year award in 2024. The Innovation Studio aligns with the goals of Food Vision 2030, supporting Ireland's ambition to become a world leader in aquaculture innovation and attract new talent and investment to the sector. According to BIM's Business of Seafood 2023 report, Ireland's seafood-tech sector continues to expand, with company numbers growing from 42 in 2016 to 69 in 2022, and turnover rising from €86 million to €226 million during that time.

In this episode of KP Unpacked, the number one podcast in AEC, KP Reddy and Jeff Echols go full throttle on the one thing most AEC startups get completely wrong: ignoring the owner.You're selling to GCs. You're marketing to architects. But if the owner doesn't see the value, you're just noise in the vendor stack. KP unpacks the real reason BIM didn't deliver, why most conferences are a year behind, and how smart startups are turning owners into their secret sales weapon.
Why is it taking so long for robots to build our buildings—and what happens when they finally do? Brian Ringley, Distinguished Product Manager at Boston Dynamics, takes us behind the curtain of construction robotics, from his time at WeWork experimenting with site automation to shaping Spot's evolution into a mobile sensor platform. We unpack why the construction industry resists innovation, how real-time data and feedback loops can transform project delivery, and what it takes to align business models with breakthrough tech. From layout bots to prefab ecosystems, this is a deep dive into the future of building.Subscribe to Most Podern on:Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/3zYvX2lRZOpHcZW41WGVrpApple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/most-podern-podcast/id1725756164Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@MostPodernInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/most.podernLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/most-podernKeywordsconstruction robotics, Boston Dynamics, Spot robot, Brian Ringley, mobile robots, digital twins, architecture and automation, construction technology, reality capture, prefab construction, WeWork innovation, laser scanning, field robotics, jobsite automation, building information modeling, modular building, Dusty Robotics, Trimble X7, construction industry disruption, industrial automation, robotic layout, design technology, human-robot collaboration, BIM to manufacturing, intelligent construction systems, Figma for product design, architecture careers in tech, robot dog construction, automation in AEC, construction tech startups, future of buildingChaptersLinksGuest: Brian RingleyBrian Ringley on LinkedInBoston DynamicsSpotReferenced Tools & TechnologiesTrimble X7 Laser ScannerHoloBuilderOpenSpaceFieldlens (by RedTeam)Dusty RoboticsFigmaGrasshopper (for Rhino)Human UI PluginWombat Plugin for GrasshopperMentioned Companies & TeamsWeWorkWoods BagotIntelligent CityMorphosisZahner (Architectural Metal Fabrication)Field AIBooks & IdeasCrossing the Chasm by Geoffrey Moore – AmazonThe Fall of Rome – Wikipedia

What's holding architecture back—and who's actually fixing it?Mercedes Carriquiry, IA., AIA, co-founder of Slantis, joins Most Podern to unpack why architecture firms can no longer afford to go it alone. From early disillusionment with traditional practice to building a 100-person company that's redefining tech adoption in AEC, Mercedes shares hard-won insights on incentives, process design, and the real reasons most firms struggle with innovation. We explore the messy middle between design and production, why persuasion is an underrated skill in this industry, and how Slantis is helping teams—from boutique studios to global firms—build smarter, not just faster. This is entrepreneurship as it is rarely discussed in architecture: fast moving, systems driven, and relentlessly focused on impact.About Slantis”We seek the finest solutions for all your architectural challenges.

La ISO 19650 es esa norma que todo el mundo menciona en LinkedIn, pocos entienden del todo, y aún menos aplican como se debe. En este episodio de BIMrras, nos preguntamos en voz alta lo que muchos solo murmuran por miedo a que el auditor esté escuchando: ¿Sirve para algo la certificación? ¿Cambia realmente cómo trabajamos o solo cómo rellenamos papeles? ¿Está al alcance de todos o solo de los que tienen tiempo y presupuesto para jugar al juego de las normas? Para responder a todo eso y más, nos acompaña Patricia Isla, Directora Técnica BIM en SGS Tecnos y una de esas raras personas que no solo ha leído la norma, sino que también sabe explicarla sin que te duermas. Si estás pensando en certificarte, si ya lo has hecho o si no tienes ni idea de qué va esto pero ves que todo el mundo habla del dichoso número 19650… este episodio es para ti.

Does innovation always mean groundbreaking new tech, or can it also mean simple, steady improvements to the way you work? Live from Advancing Prefab 2025, Todd Weyandt sits down with Jason Van Nest to talk about the importance of standardization in prefab construction, the balance between innovation and practical solutions, and the necessity of stakeholder buy-in for successful standards. Looking to the future, Jason emphasizes the need for configured solutions in construction and the power of collaboration to drive change in the industry. Main takeaways:

BIM Heroes Episode 16: When Buildings Become ComputersThe Metaverse Meets Hard Hats with Paul DohertyFrom Trade Shows to Smart CitiesPaul Doherty, the architect-turned-tech-evangelist behind The Digit Group, takes us on a wild ride from 1990s CAD revolutions to the futuristic smart cities of tomorrow. What starts as a career retrospective quickly becomes a masterclass in how technologies like digital twins and the metaverse are quietly transforming construction sites today.Paul's journey reads like a time capsule of AEC tech history. After cutting his teeth designing IBM's trade show booths (where he worked with a fledgling Microsoft and Adobe), he became one of BIM's earliest champions - helping sell the first seats of Revit before its $133M Autodesk acquisition. His stories of convincing skeptical architects to adopt 3D modeling in the early 2000s will make any tech implementer nod in sympathy.The Pain Points Driving ChangeTwo harsh realities are pushing innovation:Labor shortages mean we must "do more with less" - Paul argues that 3D construction docs aren't just nice to have but essential for clear communicationLanguage barriers go deeper than translation - when Spanish-language plans fail because workers can't read, animated work instructions become criticalDigital Twins Get RealForget the hype - Paul shares concrete examples of digital twins in action:Construction sites that never sleep: Avatars handle nighttime progress tracking and safety checksThe $80M virtual seats experiment: How Dubai's Burj Al Arab hosted a boxing match where digital tickets outsold physical onesReality capture's dirty secret: Most "scan-to-BIM" workflows still rely on manual cleanup (despite iPhone LiDAR's promise)Metaverse for Hard HatsThis isn't about VR goggles - it's about spatial computing that blends into workflows:NPC project managers: AI-driven non-player characters that know every library ever built could soon advise architectsBuildings that talk back: Imagine your office saying "The air filter on floor 2 needs changing" in real timeeSports stadiums 2.0: Kinetic seating sections that physically rearrange based on audience demandThe Road AheadPaul leaves us with both warnings and opportunities:Trust issues: Blockchain-based smart contracts may solve construction's transparency problemsLegacy mindset: The industry still clings to 2D even as 3D proves its worthAuthenticity matters: Smart cities fail when they feel like "plastic mannequins" rather than organic communitiesFinal Takeaway: This episode shines when Paul grounds futuristic concepts in today's job site realities. The metaverse isn't coming - it's already here in pieces for forward-thinking firms.

À l'occasion de la Journée mondiale de l'eau, le 22 mars, BSG rediffuse cette série de Petit Poisson deviendra Podcast dédiée aux plus gros poissons d'eau douce. Le Silure est le plus gros poisson d'eau douce en Europe. Le record actuel est de 2,80 m pour 130 kg., des légendes non vérifiables évoquent des spécimens de 5 m!!Avec les Poissons-chats, il fait partie de l'ordre des siluriformes. Cet ordre rassemble le quart des espèces de poissons d'eau douce, soient 3000 espèces (1 vertébré sur 20 est un siluriforme !).Le Silure est parfois confondu avec le Poisson-chat, surnommés ainsi à cause de leurs barbillons, qui ressemblent aux moustaches d'un Chat. Mais attention ! le Poisson-chat, même s'il lui ressemble, fait partie d'une autre famille de poissons, les ictaluridés.Il y a 16 espèces de Silures dans le monde. Le Silure glane (Silurus glanis) est l'espèce la plus répandue en France. Il est originaire des pays de l'Europe orientale, des bords du Danube et des cours d'eau bordant les mers Caspienne et Baltique.Le Silure n'a pas d'écailles, sa peau est recouverte de mucus. Sa bouche énorme est entourée de lignes de très petites dents. Le Silure ne peut pas trancher une proie, il l'aspire et la digère. Bim bam sans fioritures…Ce géant est omnivore et se nourrit surtout au crépuscule et la nuit de poissons, crustacés, amphibiens, parfois de petits oiseaux et de micro-mammifères. À Albi, dans le Tarn, le silure s'échoue volontairement pour choper des pigeons venant s'abreuver.Sa voracité est parfois dénoncée, mais d'après des études récentes, il n'est pas aussi vorace que l'on veut bien le dire. Il est notamment cannibale, ce qui entraîne une régulation de l'espèce. Il paraît donc exagéré voire faux de le classer parmi les espèces nuisibles.Le Silure est revenu en France par la Saône. Il s'est ensuite retrouvé dans le Rhône puis a colonisé l'ensemble du territoire par les canaux et des introductions illégales.Ce poisson est comestible et même bon, mais attention ! C'est un “bioaccumulateur”: il vit longtemps, en haut de la chaîne alimentaire, et stocke les métaux lourds, des pesticides et des PCB dans ses graisses. _______
