Spot on – services are the real exponent of the building industry. The cables are not the value prop, it's the services they enable that inspires real innovation.

A great article about the geometry challenges of converting office buildings to residential 1616 Walnut (the building on the left!) was one of the very first projects that my company worked on. Awesome graphics that show how a typical floor is laid out. nytimes.com/interactive/20…

Holy shit this is awesome. You can bring 360° worlds to life with a sketch and Stable Diffusion.

zaha hadid architects trained a generative model that renders architectural designs in the style of renowned architects ... from randomly crumpled pieces of paper. this one is in the style of frank gehry: 🧵👇

As we make 3D ubiquitous, we will be able to show and communicate things about the world in the medium of our reality. This took OP 2hrs! "The original poster (OP) 3D scanned their hometown using a drone, LumaAI software, and Unreal Engine. They then simulated rising sea levels

A Door to Nowhere
