We're sure many of you when you think about Beyond BIM and the technologies that really push technicians in their day to day jobs, it will inevitably fall upon design automation. Automation with BIM has become increasingly more accessible due to visual programming tools such as Dynamo and Grasshopper. In today's episode, Erika Pärn had the pleasure of speaking with Marcello Sgambelluri on the state of computational design and automation with BIM. Marcello has worked on many BIM projects over the last 20 years as a project manager, design engineer, and BIM Director. In his early career, he was inspired by the likes of Frank Wright, alongside whom he also worked with, which inevitably led him down the path of pursuing computational design and BIM automation with real intent. Marcello is internationally recognized as one of the top BIM leaders and contributors to the education and implementation of BIM technology in the building industry. Marcello continually speaks at Autodesk University and the Revit Technology Conference BILT, where he has received the 1st place speaker award for a record of 16 times!
