Technical Article - Arise article series ‘Digitalisation in the built environment’ #5 Implementation: The benefits of a digitally informed and empowered workforce
Each wave of new technology is usually heralded as a time-saving feature, leaving more time for design. This new void typically gets filled up with the protocols needed to implement these new competencies. Automating this becomes a game changer. We are on the cusp of generative architecture, where function becomes a mechanism to derive a design. Computational algorithms analyse and explore possibilities based on specific goals or constraints. Skills are needed to equip professionals to deliver paradigms and achieve their potential.
