Leadership Edge: TRXL 175
Real-time decision-making in AEC, adaptive generative design for healthcare, and architects reclaiming their role as master orchestrators. SLAM & Hypar redefine workflows, bridging concept to fabrication with precision, efficiency, and reduced waste.
Summary
In episode 175 of TRXL, I sat down with Ian Keough (founder of Hypar) and Keith Fine (Principal at SLAM Collaborative) to get the story of their recent collaboration and discuss how real-time decision-making and advanced technology are transforming AEC workflows–for everyone.
The conversation goes behind the scenes to show how SLAM’s innovation-driven approach is leveraging Hypar’s new generative design capabilities to revolutionize healthcare space planning. Their collaboration demonstrates how architectural design and software development can intersect to enhance efficiency, reduce waste, and ultimately drive better project outcomes—but only if stakeholders are willing to challenge the status quo and strategically evolve their practice for the future.
The industry keeps looking for a tool to ‘replace Revit,’ but the real opportunity is in creating a suite of specialized tools that add value at every stage of the design process.
