1. PODCAST
Highly recommended: Special guest Eitan Tsarfati of Swapp joins the TRXL podcast to talk about the value proposition of the training and role of an architect (and the practice of architecture in general) in regards to solving complex problems versus spending valuable time drafting, the role that tools currently play in the architectural practice and how it could be very different, existing business models including the ‘time-for-money paradox’ most firms operate within and how AI and automation is significantly challenging the status quo, how his latest venture called SWAPP is capable of doing in seconds what has traditionally taken weeks or months, and more.
