We hit a major milestone with our research into smart infrastructure, this week. After a massive push over the last 3-4 weeks (which in itself was built on work done over several years), we were able to deploy a system that measures – and reports in realtime – the performance and usage of the world's […]

On Sunday I flex across to Amsterdam, once again, this time to take the train down to Eindhoven for Dutch Design Week. Alex Tessier and Michael Lee – colleagues who had barely recovered from the last trip across before coming back to help the project with one last big push – had arrived a few […]

This week I spent quite a bit of time talking to people about digital twins that include skeletons and robots. For skeletons I've been working off real data from static JSON files – not yet time-series database-resident – but for robots I've just been relying on simulated movements. Until today, that is. Josh Cameron, an […]

It's been a whirlwind few days. The trip up to Darmstadt on Monday went relatively smoothly: I had to take four trains to get there, and only missed one connection (the one in Frankfurt, but thankfully I could hop on another train and arrive just 10 minutes later than planned). Still, the nearly 6 hours […]

Well, this just happened: after having had three generative design-related classes accepted for AU 2018 (well, really two were accepted and one ended up getting a repeat slot at the Connect & Construct pre-conference), I wasn't due to talk about anything I've been doing lately with the Forge viewer. Which frankly was a shame, because […]

I've spent most of this week in Amsterdam with colleagues from the Toronto office. Our group descended on the MX3D offices in the funky NDSM wharf area of the city, to make a big push and help get the world's first robotically 3D-printed steel bridge – and its supporting systems – ready for Dutch Design […]

My world seems to be filled with robots, these days, whether seeing how they can be used in architecture and construction, animating them inside Forge, or seeing them 3D print steel bridges (I'm at MX3D again, this week). It makes me think I should probably dust off my HoloLens app for making robots dance in […]

The inspiration for this post has come from a variety of sources. (Feel free to skip this preamble where I talk about the history of the project: as much as anything it's so I remember myself how things happened when I come back to this post at some point in the future. 😉 My colleague, […]

It's been a great few days in Rome, at the Forge team's first ever Roman accelerator. Things kicked off on Monday morning, as we occupied the conference room at Rimond's office in Rome's Trastevere district. As is usual at these events, there are a number of companies doing really interesting things: several of them have […]

We're just a few weeks away from the 2nd European edition of the Forge DevCon. It's being held in Darmstadt on October 16th, the day before this year's AU Germany. This is a free, English-language* event where you can learn all about the capabilities that are currently (and will soon be) available through the Forge […]
