And design automation technology should enable that – it should create possibility, not define it.. We work directly with clients to create technology that addresses their business needs and activities – not necessarily just the needs of architects and designers.
If we look more broadly into the living world, we can see that size and scale are really important factors in function, efficiency, and survival.Human beings are not accidentally the size we are.
We’re a size that allows us to travel long distances.We developed in the Rift Valley in Africa, a landscape that was rapidly changing, in relative terms, creating new and diverse habitats.To survive and exploit this, we needed to be able to travel, develop technologies (fire and tools), problem solve, and adapt.
Homo erectus, our earlier cousin, could do all these things and spread out globally surviving and developing for a million years.Interestingly, Homo sapiens, us, developing later and in parallel were a bit smaller.
The current view is that the advantage was size and reduced testosterone leading to less aggression and the ability to create and work in large social groups.. Mammals, themselves really came into their own after the last mass-extinction event some 65 million years ago.
They were overall much smaller than the dominant animals - the dinosaurs - and their size and adaptability is seen as a key feature for their survival and thriving.. Moving away from the natural world into the world designed by Homo sapiens, there is a very different approach to scale.“I started saying industrialised revolution because I truly meant it.
This is a revolution.There used to be days when I felt like I was carrying a heavy backpack full of rocks uphill.
But now there's an army behind me, a battalion.There's like, countries with armies behind us.
