Steve Burows and Gon Zifroni, Co-Founders of Aera, join us for episode 310 of Art of Construction.

The term ‘The American Dream’ originated less than 100 years ago in 1931.
It was coined by James Truslow Adams who described it as "that dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement." Homeownership and education are often seen as primary pathway to achieving the American dream. However, the American Dream is on life support, and yes, it’s critical.

Peace of mind, happiness, and pride to live in a place you created via democratized architecture is what Aera is bringing to everyone. Their mission is to allow people to build wealth but also a place to call home. That’s the American Dream.

Join Devon, Steve and Gon as they discuss the origins of Aera, why single family homes have drifted so far away from what is actually needed by consumers, how we can fix the supply chain and lower material costs for homeowners, and what it means to democratize architecture.

If you want to take control of your real estate destiny, then the first step is simple. Sign up so that Aera can begin to help you create a place to call home.

Johnny Fortune, BIM Program Director at the National Institute of Building Sciences, joins us for episode 309 of Art of Construction and the second episode in our series leading up to Digital Built Week 2023.

The National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS) is a non-profit, non-governmental organization that supports advances in building science and technology. They were established by the U.S. Congress in 1974. They bring together experts from throughout the building industry, design, architecture, construction, and government, and lead conversations to ensure our buildings and communities remain safe. In 2021 NIBS launched their national BIM program in an effort to standardize BIM and data processes throughout the building industry in the United States.
