Episode 1 with Nils Fischer
AI is reshaping architecture, but is it really a threat to designers – or the most powerful tool they’ve ever had?
In this episode, we sit down with Nils Fischer, Director at Zaha Hadid Architects and founding member of ZHA’s computational design group, CODE.
Nils shares how Zaha began building custom tools over 20 years ago, why experimentation and “grassroots” innovation are baked into the studio’s culture, and how they’re now training their own AI models using decades of project data.
Episode 2 with Andrew Victory
Digital design and smart cities are evolving rapidly. In this episode, Andrew Victory, Global Director of Digital Design at Broadway Malyan, unpacks what that shift really means for the built environment.
With over 25 years of experience across architecture, engineering, and digital strategy, Andrew explains how technology is reshaping the way we plan, design, and operate buildings and cities.
He discusses why data matters, where infrastructure is finally catching up, and how emerging tools like digital twins, automation, and AI can help us build faster and more responsibly.
Episode 3 with Mairéad Gallagher Morgan
Building Information Modelling was meant to transform how we design, deliver and operate buildings, but has it really lived up to the promise?
In this episode, Karl sits down with Mairéad Gallagher Morgan, BIM Lead for Europe and the Middle East at Grimshaw Architects, to unpack where BIM is working, where it has stalled, and what “BIM 2.0” could look like.
They explore how better data, clearer processes and cloud-based collaboration can support smarter, more sustainable projects and genuinely help clients achieve net-zero goals.
