TRXL Newsletter

🗞️ AEC/tech Newsletter #27

👋🏼 Hi there! This AEC Tech newsletter supplements my TRXL Podcast to fill in the details of what’s happening in the AEC Tech landscape. Happy reading.

It's been a few weeks since I published the last newsletter, and in case you missed it, a few podcasts have stacked up that I think are worth your time and attention.

Have a great weekend.
