In this episode, we talk with our guest Mariana about digital architecture for the metaverse and web3, how design compares between the digitial and the physical, optimisim or lackthereof within the architectural profession, generational shifts, and how to maintain wellbeing.

Mariana Cabugueira is an architect and the founder of Mariana Cabugueria Studio. She has previously worked at Zaha Hadid Architects in London and at the web3 metaverse blockchain platform Wilder World. She speaks at numerous events worldwide on the intersection of physical and digital architecture. She teaches the highly successful Metaverse Architecture studio with Maya and Unreal Engine.

New podcast episode with Arturo Tedeschi. Arturo that has been at the forefront of utilising and showcasing the impact of computational design. A true cross-disciplinary designer, Arturo has and continues to collaborate with some of the leading brands in the world. Find out about the man behind the celebrated AAD book that every Grasshopper user probably has on their desks, his story, his thoughts on the importance of innovation in all design fields, and the impact of AI.

In this episode we talk with Stephen Coorlas about AI and the importance of understanding geometry properly. Stephen explores AI tools the moment they are out and shows how they can benefit the architecture community. In this episode we talk about real world applications of AI and Stephen shows us a project which connected us - a parametric design project done with Sketchup

In this episode Dimitar talks with Gaia on what architects can do to preserve their mental wellness in the typically highly stressful and intense academic and professional architecture environments.

In this podcast episode, we talk with Ping Hsiang Chen, who is a senior architect and computational designer at Zaha Hadid Architects.

We discuss the importance of computational design in the holistic design process beyond concept stage, the importance of continuous learning, and Ping Hsiang describes how he developed a computational design model in Zaha that embeds design intelligence and possible feedbacks for easy modification. Beyond typical computational design, this process takes into account how potential design revisions can be addressed that come from external sources like the clients, municipality, consultants or anyone else on board.

In this Podcast episode, we will cover some of the reasons why architect's don't get paid enough, the importance of risk market economies, and what architects can do to get paid more for their hard work. I also talk about my journey into diversifying various streams of income.

In this podcast episode, we are honoured to talk with Dr. Wassim Jabi, who is the driving force behind an open source software framework called Topologic. Topologic can be used for architectural design with non-manifold geometries to automatically indicate external walls, internal walls, separate spaces, and more. The models that Topologic uses are extremely lightweight, yet the framework allows to take that lightweight massing model and either turn into BIM geometry or do Energy or FEA analysis.

In this podcast episode, I talk about one of the most influential architects, Dame Zaha Hadid, and how she and her office managed to change the field of architecture, construction and design. Find out how she did it in this episode. If you are interested to listen on the go, this podcast is available on your preferred podcast provider.
