ArchIT Design Under Influence
Boris Rapoport and Alex Osenenko
The goal of this show is to help Architecture, Design, and Engineering professionals discover and implement the right technology so their teams can focus on doing their best work. We learn a lot providing IT services to AEC companies and we share that knowledge in our weekly Design Under Influence podcast and video show. You see, we feel that running an architecture firm or a design studio without focusing on utilizing technology is almost like designing under influence. Sometimes this may be helpful to get our creative juices flowing, but in the long run, it's not a winning strategy. Our goal is to help you discover and implement the right technology so you can focus on doing your best work.

This podcast episode emphasizes the critical need for architectural professionals to embrace AI and transition from traditional CAD systems to more advanced tools like Archicad. Drawing a powerful analogy with Hernan Cortez, who famously burned his ships to eliminate the possibility of retreat, the hosts encourage listeners to fully commit to this transformation to ensure long-term success and efficiency in their practices. Willard shares his personal experiences of how shifting to a parametric and optimized workspace has dramatically increased productivity and accuracy, allowing for faster project completion and greater profitability. The discussion also touches on the mental health benefits of leaving behind outdated methods, fostering a more collaborative and less chaotic work environment. Ultimately, the episode serves as a rallying call for architects and engineers to take decisive action and adapt to the changing landscape in their industry.
