003: 'A Local Maxima', with Ian Keough

Forty-one moments worth paying attention to from episode one of The Next AEC Tech Stack. Eleven voices on the technology tax, the fear of the algorithm, and what a new tool costs a firm.

📰 Designers still take the ten hours. Randall Stevens says the new tools don't give Friday back, they fill it with more options. This edition closes the BIM 2.0 arc on where judgment stops and what lock-in you already accepted.

A conversation with Roderick Bates, Campbell Yule, Jesper Wallgren, Gavin Nicholls, Dimitrie Stefanescu, and Carl Christensen about where AI‑generated design should stop, how to liberate data, and what truly survives the BIM 2.0 handoff.
