Episode Eight – 2020 Year End Special

On December 30th Episode Eight of the BILT Academy Podcast went live.

Our eighth episode is our year end special which sees all of our BILT Academy team return to tell you a bit about their journey in researching the topics presented in our podcast episodes, but also to reflect on how they have experienced the unprecedented circumstances of a global pandemic and how the related governmental health measurements have changed their lives.

For this Podcast Special, we invited a special guest, who by her profession and academic pedigree – we turned to, to answer a couple of questions we had as a team – in how to address the inverse effects the current pandemic has on us. As our special guest is a personal friend of our back-end producer, the interview was conducted by her. 

Our Special Guest, Sylvia Lemkovitz, is a respected medical psychologist with over a decade of practical experience. She currently focuses on psychological treatment of patients with chronic pain issues. Sylvia regularly updates her scientific and academic knowledge. She also enjoys riding her motorcycle, meeting up with friends (as far as possible in the current lockdown conditions), and reading a good book.

Now on to our fifth episode is a BIM Paraxis episode that has been curated by our BILT Academy correspondent Julia and her topic of decentralization is so big it will take two full episodes to cover. This month’s podcast is part 1 and will cover the theoretical and research side of the decentralization topic.

During Julia’s recent work on her graduation project for University, her attention and interest in web-based technology and especially to decentralization increased. This newfound interest lead to her read a book by Yuval Noah Harari, 21 Lessons for the 21st Century (if you aren’t a read you can check out the Talks at Google YouTube Video), in which the opportunities and risks that humans face when they use and rely heavily on unsecured common data environments and web-based platforms such as the Internet is highlighted.

After reading some articles about decentralization in other industries. she was wondered to what extend decentralization of data is already researched and applied in the building industry? She has identified a hand full of experts and academics researching this topic on behalf of all of us in the built environment. And that’s how everything started, and we ended up doing this 2 part podcast.

Although it appears to be such a futuristic topic in the building industry, it is again applied science in other industries, such as life-science or biochemistry. Which could inspire us to learn from others.  

For this episode, Julia will be interviewing 2 researchers on decentralizing data in the building industry.

Mads graduated with an MSc in Architectural Engineering from the Technical University of Denmark in 2013 and has since then been affiliated with the consulting engineering company, NIRAS. For the first three years, he was involved in the design and coordination of mechanical installations in the Axel Towers office house in central Copenhagen.  The predominantly manual handling of the extensive project material built up over the years and inspired him to research how it could be made smarter, which led him in the direction of the semantic web and linked data. In 2019 he defended his PhD in this subject and since then he has been working on applying the technologies.

Mads Holten Rasmussen

Jeroen graduated in 2018 as an MSc in Engineering: Architecture at Ghent University, he participated in the Horizon2020 project BIM4Ren as a researcher at Rheinisch Westfälische Technische Hochschule (abbreviated RWTH) Aachen University. Simultaneously with his appointment as a researcher and lecturing assistant at Ghent University.  In late 2019, his PhD research proposal got accepted for funding by Flanders Research Foundation FWO, which has allowed him to work on the project on a daily basis up until today. His main research topic is the setup of infrastructure for data-based, federated building models, based on Semantic Web technologies. Within this context, Jeroen has worked on pattern-based access control in federated Web contexts the use of semantic query language validation of federated data and documenting existing buildings using Linked Data.

Jeroen Werbrouck

Episode Six – Coming November 26th

Be sure to tune in for part 2 of the decentralization topic on our next episode airing November 26th, 2020. In that episode, our BILT Academy correspondent Julia will continue to explore the topic from a practical perspective as we look toward its future use in the built environment with the help of industry experts.

Episode Four – Automation

On Thursday, September 24th Episode Four of the BILT Academy Podcast went live.

Our fourth episode has been curated by our BILT Academy correspondent David. This month’s podcast is a technology podcast, and in it, David interviews four industry experts about the topic of Automation.

This month we explore the concept of automation within the construction industry. Over the last few years, automatization has increasingly made its way into our environment and has quickly been evolving in many ways. In order to better understand the future of automation in the AEC industry, we have interviewed a variety of experts, each with their own perspectives on automation. These perspectives range from automation in software engineering, data collection on construction sites, prefabrication and manufacturing. By asking them what automation looks like and who it’s useful for we hope to offer you the listeners an insight into the role of automation in the construction industry and how they come together to shape the future of the sector and our built environment. 

Gordon is an Architect by education and has straddled the practice/technology fence since university. He has been at times a Job Captain, a CAD Manager, a BIM Manager & an IT Manager, including a stint in all three technology management roles for a firm of around 50 people, doing their first two Revit pilot projects. He thinks that may have been when the light really went on for him regarding automation. Now he spends his time writing and supporting the software tools he wished he had back then.

Our Episode Zero was an introduction to what the BILT Academy is about and what we look forward to sharing with our audience in future episodes of the Podcast.

Our podcast will be published monthly, with each episode being filled with news, insights, and knowledge from within and around the building industry. We will be touching base on the academic, scientific, technology and BIM related topics that keep our building industry turning, so we can keep YOU the listener apprised and in the know. 

Each month the podcast will focus on one of three areas of interest: 

  1. Technology 
  2. BIM Praxis 
  3. Science/Academic 

Each episode will be thoughtfully curated, based on the topic by our BILT Acadamy correspondents via research and industry expert interviews. 

Be sure to tune in for our first full episode on June 25th, 2020, where our focus will be Technology.
