Episode 158: Architecture, And: Director of Product at Intelligent CityHow can architects leverage the evolution of technology and the role of architects to enhance sustainability and innovation within the built environment?On this episode of Practice Disrupted, we are joined by Kristin Slavin, an architect, developer, and product manager who has helped drive national building code changes and an industry-wide shift to more sustainable building practices. Throughout our chat, we focus on the evolving roles of architects in sustainable practices. Kristin currently serves as Director of Product at Intelligent City, a company working to lead a sustainable future using mass timber technology and set new standards in affordable, carbon-neutral, urban living.First, Kristin shares her background in architecture and her exploration of various career paths, eventually transitioning into production design and management. She also discusses the limitations the founders of Intelligent City saw with traditional architectural methods and how that translated into the company's conception.Then, Kristin discusses the evolution of Intelligent City, explains the construction technologies they use, and emphasizes the design and quality of their solutions. She also highlights their internal culture and professional development, the benefits of diverse teams and remote work, and the intersection of architecture and construction industries.I think small teams can be really efficient. Often in the traditional practice of architecture, we may underestimate people's capabilities, and try to hold things more tightly than we need to sometimes. If you can give people the freedom to explore and grow within their role or even outside of their role, people will surprise you. So I think there's a lot of power in that. - Kristin Slavin To wrap up the conversation, Kristin encourages new architects to seek innovative firms and opportunities, emphasizing confidence, decisiveness, and the acceptance of their mistakes. She also explains her vision for the future, where architects embrace new technologies and materials for sustainable solutions and work with AI companies to create efficient, market-responsive designs. Tune in next week for an episode about a different take on Product Management. Guest:Kristin SlavinKristin Slavin is Director of Product/Architect, bringing her expertise and thought leadership in mass timber construction and low carbon building design to the team. Her extensive experience as an architect, developer, and product manager of mass timber buildings and prefabricated building products has helped drive national building code changes and an industry wide shift to more sustainable building practices. Her built work includes Carbon12, the tallest CLT building in the US at completion.

In this episode of Timber Talks, we're speaking with Oliver Lang CEO of Intelligent City about the future of construction and building. We'll be discussing the vision behind Oliver's work, the key technological advances being used today with a focus on robotics, the process of construction and how it differs from conventional methods, the hurdles to adoption of this new way of doing things, the balance between standardisation and flexibility, and finally, where Oliver sees the industry heading in the next 5 years. Oliver will share his knowledge and insights on these critical topics and provide a unique perspective on the future of construction and building. This is a must-listen for anyone interested in the future of sustainable construction and building. 

Oliver David (OD) Krieg of Intelligent City joins the podcast to talk about topics at the intersection of computational design, robotic fabrication, and turn-key urban housing as a product. We begin with OD's journey from school at ICD in Germany to where he is currently at Intelligent City, the value and benefits of bottom-up as opposed to top-down initiatives, moving away from project thinking to a product company, navigating risk versus reward in manufacturing, design for manufacture and assembly (DFMA) and industrialized construction, prefab in relation to mass timber highrise, density, housing, sustainability, and carbon neutrality, where parametric design fits into the process, the definition of parametric manufacturing and mass customization, what it's like building an industry from scratch, building architecture on top of tech in relation to a tech-first company (versus a project-first or architecture-first company), and why systematization must occur before automation.LinksNote: All links open in a new window in case you are listening to the podcast on the site.OD on LinkedInOD on TwitterOD on InstagramOD's website (highly recommended!)Finger-jointed plate panel pavilionIntelligent City websiteIntelligent City on LinkedInIntelligent City on TwitterIntelligent City on InstagramCAD's Boring Future and Why it's Exciting by Daniel Davis (re: the fat middle)Additional TRXL episodes referenced in the conversation:TRXL 063 - ‘The Thicc Middle', with Daniel DavisTRXL 100 - ‘Negative Compound Interest', with Paul WintourMore TRXL Podcast episodesCheck out my other podcast too: Archispeak & PeopleverseMy YouTube channelConnect with EvanTwitterLinkedInInstagramYouTubeEmailSponsorContent is more than Revit families.

Kommer den smarta staden vara den som lär sig mest av sina medborgare? Och kommer data att visa oss vägen? Jo, det tror nog vi i alla fall

Varje vecka från nu fram till 2050 kommer 1 miljon människor på Tellus flytta in till en stad. Vad blir det kan man undra?

Var börjar staden och var slutar internet? Och hur ska dom egentligen sitta ihop? Kommer de ens kunna vara separerade imorgon?

Städer växer när fördelarna med att människor möts överväger kostnaderna. Så vad blir staden i framtiden? Och kommer den vara smart?
