Episode 044: Leveraging Tech to Solve Challenges in AEC
How do technologists view the opportunities to disrupt the AEC industry?
Last season we met with architects and designers who stepped into the world of tech to find solutions for the architecture industry. In today's episode, we flip the script and ask a technologist how they view these same opportunities. Jen Carlile, co-founder and CTO at Outer Labs joins us to discuss what makes the architecture industry prime for tech.
Outer Labs is a dynamic company that is passionate about developing technology related to the built environment. Their work is a mixture of custom software development for forward-thinking technology companies that want to radically change the process of how buildings are created, and software development for their own product that empowers people to better engage with their physical space.
