Prove It: Recent Episodes
Proving Ground
Prove It – a podcast by Proving Ground – reviews recent AEC (Architecture, Engineering, Construction) technology news and uncovers (over)hype versus reality in many trending topics.
In this episode, the Proving Ground hosts a live webinar to discuss remote working in he wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Proving Ground has used remote working as a function of operating the business for 5 years and has been a 100% work-from-home company in 2020. The team shares their experiences and guidance on making a remote team successful and they take questions from the webinar attendees.
Special guest Shelby Doyle - Architect and Assistant Professor of Architecture at Iowa State University - joins Nate and Steve for Episode 7 of Prove It! The group discusses digital transformations taking place in architecture schools, the tension between academia and practice, women in architecture, computational feminism, alternate dimensions, and our reality being a simulation - wow, things got trippy this time!
Nate sits down with Proving Ground's 2019 summer research interns Madhurya Udayakumar and Anna Lukens to talk about their experiences as architecture students, wrangling command-lines in Raspberry Pis, and why they got into architecture!
Nate Miller, Steve Sanda, and Trygve Wastvedt from Proving Ground discuss emerging technology and debate opportunities and concerns related to data collection and smart buildings. The discussion explores a range of topics including specialization, skills gaps, privacy, hacking buildings, and the role of the architect in designing smart buildings.
Rachel Riopel - Digital Design Managing Principal at HDR - talks with Nate Miller about change management, technology implementation, women in design technology, and using BIM and open standards to support benchmarking analysis.
Sarah Gudeman, a mechanical engineer with Morrissey Engineering, joins Nate and Kristen to talk about energy modeling, building performance, and sustainability workflows in practice.
Matt Goldsberry from HDR joins Nate Miller and Dave Stasiuk from Proving Ground in to discuss his career path and how computational design is being adopted as part of HDR's global architecture practice.
The beta test! We're trying out a new format, ironing out the bugs, and talking about technology - In the FIRST Prove It podcast, Nate Miller, Dave Stasiuk, and Kristen Schulte review recent AEC technology news and discuss the (over)hype vs. reality of the Generative Design trend in architecture.
