You're not supposed to be good at everything. But somehow, Alli is.Architect, landscape architect, developer, GC, policy reformer, zoning translator, builder of teams, builder of trust, builder of actual buildings-it's no wonder we spent the first five minutes of this episode just trying to list all the roles she plays.In this conversation, Alli joins me to talk about what it means to be a true generalist in an era obsessed with specialization. We cover her journey from flipping houses as a teenager to running a growing team at Flintlock Lab, directing the Incremental Development Alliance, and quietly (or not so quietly) reshaping how development works across the country-starting in her hometown of Fayetteville, Arkansas.We dig into building science, incremental housing, the limits of Revit, and why being a builder makes you a better architect (and vice versa). But we also get into the harder stuff-like learning to lead, facing city bureaucracy, and what to do when the guy reviewing your permit might genuinely want to run you over with his truck.This one's as practical as it is philosophical, and it left me feeling more hopeful-and a little more fired up-about what's still possible if we're willing to roll up our sleeves and terraform our own backyards.CHAPTERS00:00 Community Engagement and Local Impact02:51 The Multifaceted Career of Ali05:51 Navigating Development and Housing Challenges09:09 The Unique Economy of Fayetteville11:56 Balancing Growth and Community Needs14:57 Career Trajectory and Intentionality18:06 Building Science and Sustainable Practices20:49 Design-Build Workflow and Efficiency24:07 Entrepreneurial Spirit in Development31:57 The Design-Build Approach: Learning Through Doing34:51 Scaling Up: The Challenges of Growth39:10 Understanding the Market: Design Meets Demand41:55 Terraforming Communities: The Role of Local Investment44:11 Building a Culture of Collaboration: The Fayetteville Experience49:50 Changing the Narrative: Zoning and Community Engagement57:04 Navigating Conflict: Building Relationships with City Staff01:08:20 Building Relationships in Local Governance01:15:06 Navigating Conflict with City Staff01:20:01 Growing a Business: Challenges and Changes01:26:09 Tools and Software for Efficiency01:34:00 Learning from Failures and GrowthCONNECT WITH AlliFlintlock Lab: flintlocklab.comIncremental Development Alliance: incrementaldevelopment.orgInstagram: @flintlocklabLinkedIn: Alli's ProfileCONNECT WITH AUSTIN TUNNELLNewsletter: https://playbook.buildingculture.com/ https://www.instagram.com/austintunnell/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/austin-tunnell-2a41894a/ https://twitter.com/AustinTunnellCONNECT WITH BUILDING CULTUREhttps://www.buildingculture.com/ https://www.instagram.com/buildingculture/ https://twitter.com/build_culture https://www.facebook.com/BuildCulture/ SPONSORSThank you so much to the sponsors of The Building Culture Podcast!Sierra Pacific Windows: https://www.sierrapacificwindows.com/ One Source Windows: https://onesourcewindows.com/
In this episode, we sit down with Kate Bradley and Pam Smith—two former dealer designers who made the jump to the A&D world and now work at HKS. They open up about what that transition was really like, from unexpected stress relief to letting go of manufacturer sales goals and adapting to new tech.We dive into the sometimes tricky dynamic between dealerships and A&D firms, and what it takes to collaborate well. Kate and Pam share what they wish they had known earlier, bust a few myths (like whether fancy renderings actually help win projects), and offer real, practical advice for building better partnerships.Register for FREE to attend the webinar Bridging the Gap: Strengthening Collaboration Between Dealer Designers and A+DSubmit a question for the panelists link: https://www.thedesignpop.com/pie-2025-questionsLearn more about POP into Excellence 2025; a professional development event for dealer designers & design leadersThe Design Pop is an Imagine a Place Production (presented by OFS)Connect with Alexandra on LinkedInFollow The Design Pop on LinkedIn
Replaying our episode with Morgan Chawaga. Morgan is a licensed architect turned stress management consultant.

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.

I det här avsnittet av Byggsnack samtalar Avimas VD David Björk med Elin Mårtensson från AI-bob. Hon berättar om sin resa från fastighetsutvecklare till techgrundare, och hur frustrationen över manuella och ineffektiva granskningsprocesser i byggprojekt ledde till idén bakom AI-bob.AI-bob använder AI för att automatiskt granska byggregler – i dagsläget främst tillgänglighetsregler – direkt i arkitekternas ritverktyg Revit. Målet är att minska byggfel, spara tid och pengar, och låta arkitekter fokusera mer på det kreativa.Med stöd från stora aktörer som Sweco och White, och 23 miljoner i ny finansiering, satsar Aibob nu på att automatisera fler regelverk. Elin delar också insikter om hur AI kan bli ett naturligt verktyg i en annars ganska trög digitaliseringsbransch – och varför framtidens granskning borde funka ungefär som stavningskontroll.Om AvimaAvima är en plattform som är utvecklad för att stödja projektledare och projektchefer inom bygg- och anläggningsprojekt. Med Avima kan du enkelt hålla koll på alla beslut som fattas, säkerställa att rätt dokumentversioner är tillgängliga, och hantera all nödvändig kommunikation för att underlätta effektivt samarbete. Detta hjälper till att spara tid, pengar och resurser, och säkerställer att alla involverade arbetar mot samma mål genom hela projektets livscykel, från start till mål.Mer om oss på Avima här: https://avima.se/

Frank Nunez is the President of FrankNDesign. With a background in architecture and a passion for leveraging technology in design, Frank transitioned from traditional architecture to themed entertainment. His company, FrankNDesign, specializes in integrating digital modeling into themed design, helping to bridge the gap between creative vision and practical implementation. In this interview, Frank talks about themed design software, identifying issues before construction, and jillyfraz. Themed Design Software "Revit was going to be an arranged marriage. Either I was miserable my whole life, or I fell in love and enjoyed the arranged marriage after all." Frank discussed the evolution of architectural software and how the themed entertainment industry was lagging behind other fields in digital integration. He recognized that while video game designers and filmmakers had advanced tools to create immersive environments, architecture was still relying on rudimentary CAD systems. This led him to explore ways to bring digital intelligence into design, ultimately resulting in FrankNDesign's approach to using Revit for themed entertainment. By translating creative visions into 3D architectural models, FrankNDesign helps designers and architects collaborate more efficiently while maintaining artistic integrity. Identifying Issues Before Construction "Everybody knows that it's a lot cheaper to change it digitally by moving a mouse than it is by cutting a piece of rock work in the field." A major benefit of FrankNDesign's approach is the ability to identify potential clashes between themed elements and structural necessities before construction begins. By working directly within Revit, their models coexist with architectural designs, allowing designers to foresee problems such as ventilation placement, exit sign visibility, and rockwork integration. Frank emphasized how this process prevents costly and time-consuming field modifications by resolving these conflicts in a digital space first. The result is a more seamless, immersive environment that aligns with both guest expectations and operational needs. Jillyfraz "Our rock work, our jillyfraz, the pretty stuff that makes the— we are in charge of everything the guest sees." Frank introduced the term "jillyfraz" to describe the intricate themed elements that make up the visual storytelling of an environment. These are the immersive details—rockwork, signage, facades—that transport guests into another world. His team specializes in ensuring that these elements are both aesthetically accurate and structurally feasible, blending creativity with technical precision. By refining the details before construction begins, FrankNDesign helps maintain the integrity of themed experiences while ensuring practical functionality behind the scenes.

Les petites stations de moyenne montagne ont le sourire : il est tombé ces derniers jours beaucoup de neige, que ce soit dans les Alpes, les Pyrénées mais aussi sur le Vercors, le Massif central ou les Monts du lyonnais. Après une année dernière très difficile sans trop de neige, ces petites stations moins chères, plus familiales, peuvent cette année accueillir de nouveau du monde. Raphaël Vantard nous emmène dans la seule station du département de la Loire, à Chalmazel. Une station où il n'y avait presque pas neige l'an passé et qui en a plus de 60 cm aujourd'hui. Chalmazel a même décidé d'ouvrir dès le début des vacances de Noël, une semaine plus tôt que prévu.
How do aging infrastructure and access to clean water relate? The two are more intertwined than you might think. Join Todd and guest Kenneth Driscol as they discuss the need for investment in public infrastructure, how access to water may look by the year 2050, and how sustainable AI solutions may come into play. Kenneth L. Driscol is a Sr. Civil Application Engineer at Applied Software, GRAITEC Group. He has a demonstrated history of working in the computer software industry. He is skilled in AutoCAD, Revit, Autodesk Software, Drainage, and Modeling. He is a strong engineering professional with a Civil Engineering/ Construction Technology focused in Transportation and Highway Engineering from The University of Akron. TODD TAKES Addressing Aging Infrastructure Proactively: Aging infrastructure isn't something we can afford to ignore or push aside. It's not an "out of sight, out of mind" problem—it's a challenge we need to face head-on. By taking a proactive approach, we can ensure our systems stay safe, efficient, and built to last. Getting the Most Out of Your Data: When it comes to data, start by asking yourself: what do I want to learn? Once you're clear on your goals, you can map out the right questions and create a framework for managing your data. With good governance and a little help from AI, those insights become game-changers. Feelings Aren't Facts: “Feelings aren't facts.” That one really hits home, doesn't it? It's so human to believe our emotions are the ultimate truth, but staying grounded in reality is what leads to smart decisions and better outcomes. Thanks for listening!

If sustainability and the human experience were at the forefront of architectural design, what changes would we see? Live from Autodesk University 2024, Nehama Schechter-Baraban joined the podcast for an important conversation on the intersection of technology and nature, how Revit plays into effective landscape architecture modeling, the potential for healthier and greener urban spaces, and how sometimes, all that's needed to innovate an industry is a new point of view. Nehama Schechter-Baraban is Chief Operations Officer of Arch-Intelligence. She is a landscape architect graduate of Technion - Israel Institute of Technology and a Revit expert. TODD TAKES Context Matters in Design:It's crucial for architects to consider how their buildings interact with the surrounding environment. Whether it's grading the landscape or understanding the site's topography, integrating context ensures the structure fits naturally into its setting, enhancing both the human experience and the project's efficiency. Sustainability as a Mindset:Sustainable design goes beyond specific tools; it's about designers having a mindset focused on environmental impact. From choosing native plants to minimizing land disturbance, sustainability is achieved by making conscious design choices that benefit the ecosystem and reduce costs. Simplifying Technology for Designers:The goal of innovation in design technology is to remove barriers, making tools more intuitive and accessible. This way, designers can focus on creativity, sustainability, and human-centric design rather than struggling with complex software. Thanks for listening!
