description: In the past 40 years, we have experienced a technological revolution in nearly every industry but architecture. Including the need for more affordable housing and the need to severely reduce our carbon footprint. These problems could be solved if we didn’t keep making buildings the same way we did a century ago. Every party involved in the industry is currently pointing fingers at one another for all the miscommunication and carelessness. Now that everyone, or atleast [sic] everyone should know, about the crisis we are dealing with, it’s time to start a revolution in the way we do business, distribute materials and produce buildings. Since the introduction of the computer, the only thing that has changed is the way high-end architecture gets designed. The majority of architecture still gets designed using proprietary software, sharing files and conducting business in an analogue system. There is so much potential for the industry to use computers and the Internet to decentralize the work flows in which we share knowledge, data and materials.
