Testimonials
Gavin Nicholls, "The Aussie BIM Guru" — independent BIM educator:
You're one of the main voices that sort of glues our industry together, particularly in architecture, so just keep going, I think you're doing a real service for our industry and I really admire the people you bring on the show and how you do it and the depth of the questioning that you have available.
Grant Bowen, Founder, Peak Projects:
I’ve been a TRXL listener for quite a while and really appreciate the depth of your conversations. You consistently bring on people who are shaping the future of architecture, and I always come away having learned something.
Greg Johnson, Multistudio:
I thought I would shoot you a note and share again how much I enjoy your podcast and the relevance of all the conversations to what’s happening in the AEC industry. Thank you for providing so much rich content and thought-provoking conversations at this really transitional moment for architecture.
Ian Keough, Founder and CEO of Hypar:
We benefit hugely from Evan being a kind of a megaphone for this stuff in the industry. The number of people that have told me “I've listened to you on the TRXL podcast, it's incredible.” So please keep doing what you're doing.
Jerry Battaglia, Director of Information Technology, Hord Coplan Macht:
I look forward to each episode of the TRXL podcast. It keeps me informed on the latest in design technology and its intersection with architecture, even as an IT professional.
About the name
TRXL is Troxel — my last name — without the vowels. Pronounced troksl.
Why this show?
Architecture's future is being written right now by a small number of people with real conviction. I wanted a place where those conversations could happen in the open — unscripted, long-form, and accessible to anyone in the industry who wants to listen in.
