    How Human-Centered Construction Helps Communities Heal and Thrive

    Recorded live at the Autodesk Technology Center in Boston, this episode of Digital Builder explores how human‑centered construction can support resilience, recovery, and long‑term community impact. Host Eric Thomas is joined by Joshua Dobbs, New England Patriots quarterback and aerospace engineer, and Gerard Georges, Director of Architecture at Build Health International, for a cross‑disciplinary conversation on empathy, leadership, and design. In this episode, we discuss: What human‑centered design looks like in practice—and why putting people first leads to stronger, more resilient communitiesHow collaboration and stakeholder engagement shape healthcare and community projects in high‑stakes environmentsLessons from professional sports—preparation, composure, and teamwork—that translate directly to construction and design teamsHow technologies like VR and data‑driven design help teams visualize outcomes, align earlier, and make better decisionsWhy empathy and adaptability are essential leadership skills on the job site, in crisis response, and beyond Dobbs shares how his experience as a quarterback—operating under pressure, leading diverse teams, and preparing for critical moments—parallels the demands faced by AEC professionals working on complex projects. Georges adds a global healthcare perspective, highlighting how thoughtful design can help communities heal and thrive over time. This episode was recorded during the launch of Autodesk’s Make It Heal film series and the 2026 Design & Make It Real program.

    AI, Sustainability, and the Long View from Autodesk Research

    Research and development teams often work behind the scenes, but they play a major role in shaping where construction is headed next. In this episode, Eric Thomas sits down with Fope Bademosi, Circular Economy and Construction Researcher, and Lorenzo Villaggi, Principal Research Scientist at Autodesk, to explore how Autodesk Research is approaching the future of AI, sustainability, and material reuse. Fope and Lorenzo walk through their latest work on assessing existing buildings, predicting what’s inside walls using multimodal data, and designing low‑carbon assemblies with the help of AI agents. They also explain how early insight into materials, carbon impacts, and code constraints can shift project culture toward circularity. Topics we cover: How Autodesk Research operates 5–10 years ahead of industry needsThe impact of material reuse on carbon reduction and wasteWhat circularity and the circular economy mean in a construction contextA prototype that predicts the materials and systems hidden behind wallsHow multimodal data improves AI’s accuracy on existing buildingsUsing AI agents to design low‑carbon assemblies that merge reclaimed and new materialsThe role of building codes, performance requirements, and safety considerationsWhere the Autodesk Research team is headed next with testing, customer collaborations, and expanded assembly types The built environment contributes roughly 40% of global carbon emissions, and most construction waste still ends up in landfills. Fope and Lorenzo share how emerging technologies—combined with new workflows and industry collaboration—can help shift project teams toward reuse, lower‑carbon design, and more informed decision‑making from the start. Digital Builder is hosted by Eric Thomas from Autodesk.

    Why AI Adoption Fails and How Construction Leaders Can Fix It

    In this episode of Digital Builder, host Eric Thomas sits down with Dr. Sarah Buchner, founder and CEO of Trunk Tools, for a grounded, no-nonsense conversation about how construction teams can actually start using AI today. Recorded live at Autodesk University, the discussion moves past the high-level hype and into the real workflows where AI is already driving change—from automating white‑collar tasks to reducing rework and helping teams navigate labor shortages. Drawing from her background as a carpenter, project leader, data scientist, and founder, Sarah breaks down what adoption looks like in the field, how to overcome resistance, and why embracing AI early is quickly becoming a competitive advantage. We discuss: Why AI adoption struggles—and what actually helps teams get over the humpThe biggest areas of ROI for AI today, especially in white‑collar construction workflowsHow autonomous AI agents differ from tools like ChatGPTThe role of executives, legal, and IT in successful AI rolloutWhy vertical, construction‑trained AI models matterHow AI can reduce rework, ease labor shortages, and let builders focus on building Digital Builder is hosted by Eric Thomas of Autodesk.

    Enter the New Era of Reality Capture

    In this episode of Digital Builder, host Eric Thomas sits down with Jeevan Kalanithi and Michael Fleischman, co-founders of OpenSpace, to explore how reality capture technology is transforming construction. Recorded live at Autodesk University in Nashville, the conversation traces the journey from early laser scanning to today’s AI-powered visual intelligence platforms—and what that means for builders on the ground. From reducing disputes and project risk to unlocking new possibilities with spatial AI, Jeevan and Michael share insights on how technology is giving teams “superpowers” rather than replacing experience. They also look ahead to the future of AI agents and robotics in construction. We discuss: The “three chapters” of reality capture—and why visual intelligence is the next frontierHow reality capture builds trust, speeds decisions, and lowers riskWhy today’s tech feels more Iron Man than TerminatorThe role of AI and spatial computing in shaping the job siteWhat AI agents could mean for productivity and the labor shortage Digital Builder is hosted by Eric Thomas of Autodesk.
