    EP 65 | Motif: Why I Left BIG and Joined Motif to Disrupt BIM | Jens Majdal Kaarsholm

    In this episode of the Archi-Tech Network Podcast, Oliver Thomas sits down with Jens Kaarsholm, Director, Industry and Market Development of Motif, to discuss his journey from working at Bjarke Ingels Group to building one of the most talked-about startups in the architecture technology space.After years working inside one of the world’s leading design practices, Jens reached a turning point that led him to step away from BIG and into the startup world. What followed was the launch of Motif, a company aiming to rethink how architects collaborate and work with building information.The conversation dives into the origins of the BIM 2.0 movement, sparked by an open letter that challenged the slow pace of development in traditional BIM software. Jens explains why the architecture industry is still reliant on tools that are decades old — and how Motif is building a next-generation platform designed around collaboration, transparency, and modern workflows.Oliver and Jens also explore what it takes to build a technology company inside the AEC industry, from assembling a team of industry veterans from Autodesk and Revit, to the challenges of developing entirely new infrastructure for design collaboration.If you care about the future of BIM, design technology, and the next wave of AEC software startups, this conversation is not to be missed.

    EP 64 | Hypar: Automating Building Design with AI & Automation with Ian Keough & Andrew Heumann

    In this episode of the ATN Podcast, Oliver Thomas is joined by Ian Keough, founder of Hypar, alongside Andrew Heumann, software engineer and creator of the Human plugin, to unpack what BIM 2.0 could look like — and how automation and AI are changing architectural design.Ian brings a rare dual background in architecture and software development, while Andrew’s career spans design, computation, and engineering. Together, they explore how Hypar was born out of real-world frustration with traditional tools, particularly during Ian’s time at WeWork, where scale, speed, and repetition exposed the limits of conventional BIM workflows.The conversation traces Hypar’s evolution from early concept to Hypar 2.0, focusing on a core philosophy: automate the boring and repetitive parts of design while keeping architects firmly in control. Rather than positioning AI as a replacement for designers, Ian and Andrew discuss how it can act as supportive infrastructure — enhancing flexibility, speed, and creative decision-making.We also dive into the realities of building architectural software:Why user experience is critical (and often overlooked)How feedback from real projects shapes the platformThe shift from consulting to product-led developmentAnd whether architecture is approaching its own “Canva moment”This episode is a must-watch for architects, computational designers, and anyone interested in the future of architectural technology, design automation, and AI-powered workflows.Andrew Heumann |   / andrew-heumann-13751414  Ian Keough |   / ian-keough-4b1ba91  Try Hypar | https://hypar.io/ATN HOST | Oliver Thomas |   / olly____t  ATN MASTERCLASS | https://archi-tech.network00:00 Introduction and Personal Updates01:30 Introduction to the ATN Podcast and Guests04:36 Backgrounds of Ian Keough & Andrew Heumann07:31 The WeWork Experience10:25 Founding Hypar13:36 The Evolution of Hypar16:31 Hypar 2.0 & Designer Control19:28 Technical & Business Evolution22:27 UX and Software Insights25:30 Automation vs Creativity28:32 Hypar Today: The Elevator Pitch37:09 Long-Term Vision40:01 The “Canva Moment” for Architecture43:41 Integrating AI into Design56:34 AI & Building Design Challenges01:00:17 From Consulting to Product01:07:20 What’s Next for HyparEnjoyed the video?
