Platform office design prototype with Landsec, Easi Space and Innovate UK

He emphasises that narrow AI and generative tools will augment rather than replace architects.The focus should be on leveraging AI for time-consuming tasks (like unit layouts) to free up architects to focus on their core competencies and creative work.
He suggests avoiding discussions about general AI and instead focusing on practical applications.. 3.Next generation of architects (Gen Z).Randy is optimistic about the current generation of architecture graduates, describing them as loyal, dedicated, and environmentally conscious.
He predicts a 5-7 year 'renaissance' period where these new professionals will drive significant change in the industry, before many potentially move into startups or entrepreneurial ventures.. 4.Evolution of architectural education.
He notes that traditional architectural education needs to adapt to tech-savvy students who often know more about certain tools than their professors.
However, he emphasises that the core value of architectural education lies in teaching critical thinking and problem-solving skills rather than specific technical knowledge.. 5.This ground-breaking P-DfMA office building project is currently being delivered on-site in London, featuring an almost 20% reduction in embodied carbon.
It’s a fantastic achievement, and because The Forge is a Platforms construction project, we’ll be able to take what we’ve learned to create further benefits on future projects.. With the Forge, we’ve been able to prototype the project in advance of it going on-site.We’ve been able to look at things like different concrete mixes, relating to the self-compacting nature of the concrete.
Through evaluation of embodied carbon, we’ve been able to offer lower carbon concrete mixes, tested before being transferred.In this case, Easispace put temperature sensors in the concrete, with mobile phone alerts indicating when the concrete became strong enough to strike the shuttering.
