124: ‘Interoperability is a Trap’, with Dimitrie Stefanescu and Matteo Cominetti
A conversation with Dimitrie Stefanescu and Matteo Cominetti of Speckle.
Dimitrie Stefanescu and Matteo Cominetti of Speckle join the podcast to talk about Speckle: an open-source data platform for the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry, which aims to make it easier for people to connect their tools and share data. We also discuss how the platform's community-built connectors enable users to connect to Rhino, Revit, AutoCAD Civil 3D, Excel, and many more applications via the cloud.
The conversation also covers how Dimitrie, Matteo and the team are exploring the integration of machine learning models and automation workflows into the platform, their belief that open-source infrastructure is necessary for equitable distribution of value within the AEC industry, and how the industry should compete on the designs produced, not on the tools used to produce them.
