As I mentioned last week, on Friday I headed across to this year's AEC Hackathon Zurich Edition in the city of Winterthur, about 2 hours from my home. The event was held in one of the buildings on the ZHAW campus. The space was fantastic: an old factory that was once used to maintain trains […]

After yesterday's post pointing folks to the material for my first class at AU 2023, here's the material for the second one, which I co-presented with Pete Storey. I only have this photo from outside the classroom for this session: But I did get to hang out with Pete before we flew back to our […]

I've been spending a lot of time talking about the work we're doing with Dynamo and Refinery – especially as it relates to our plan to share a version of the "Project Rediscover" graph at AU London 2019. But there's more my team is hoping to be able to share in mid-June at Tobacco Dock: […]

The week before last I headed across to Zurich for the day for meetings. During the afternoon I passed by the NEST building in Dübendorf – home of the DFAB House project – to meet with NEST's Director, Reto Largo, and talk more about our plans to collaborate. To learn a bit more about what's […]

Some good news for people who thought they'd missed their chance to speak at this year's Autodesk University in London: the Call For Proposals (CFP) for AU London 2019 has been extended until January 25th, 2019. I love Autodesk University events in general, but the London edition – which I attended for the first time […]
