Episode Summary
In this episode, we are joined by Oliver David “OD” Krieg, CTO at Intelligent City, to discuss the topics of building design automation, dissecting the intricacies of breaking buildings down to their constituent elements, and exploring the delicate balance between designing for manufacturing efficiency versus end-user experience.
We delved into the profound influence of nature on design methodologies and unearthed the challenges inherent in design automation.
Join us as we investigate the complexities of system architecture, manufacturing automation, component design, and the future of sustainable, efficient buildings.
