Listen "Paul King: Future buildings, and the intersection between imagination and practical iteration"
Episode Synopsis
NEW PODCAST: On this latest episode of How to Build a Better World, our managing editor, Tina Perinotto, spoke with Paul King from Bentley about how new technology like building information models (BIMs) and digital twins can help designers and engineers make better choices about building design and maintenance. It’s an exciting world that is starting to look a bit like the sci-fi image we read about in stories about gaming or fiction. A parallel universe in cyberspace that we can – hopefully – step in and out of at will. That’s pretty much what these brainy people in the digital world are getting at. All in the name of generating and managing digital representations of physical and functional characteristics of buildings. Because quite frankly, once a building is built, it’s too late to do much to change its essential structure and much of its inbuilt services.As the solution director of construction at infrastructure engineering software company Bentley Systems, Paul King leads the global construction solutions engineering teams; he implements the business strategy for the company’s software portfolio, supports the project delivery organisations with their digital transformation, and helps them to create tailored strategies focused on business value and integrating them into everyday operations.Host: Tina PerinottoProduced by: The Fifth EstateThe Fifth Estate website: www.thefifthestate.com.auSign up to the newsletter: https://thefifthestate.com.au/subscribe Support The Fifth Estate: thefifthestate.com.au/support-us LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/the-fifth-estate Twitter: @FifthEstateAUFacebook: www.facebook.com/thefifthestateAu
