Zach Kron joins the podcast to talk about what it really means to apply architectural thinking to products for AEC from inside a technology company. We explore designing systems, learning by shipping imperfect work, the real tradeoffs that come with pursuing leverage beyond traditional practice, and more.

This is an honest conversation for architects considering a move into tech, or looking to evolve their careers without leaving the discipline behind. It’s about agency, constraints, and redefining what impact and success can look like in architecture today.

In this special Campfire Series episode, Neil Katz joins the podcast to tell us about the evolution of architectural technology from first principles. Long before CAD, BIM, parametrics, or AI became industry buzzwords, Neil was there. From technics and morphology, to early programming in BASIC and geometry-driven thinking, to custom software at SOM, to landmark projects that pushed behavior-based design into real buildings, his career offers a rare, continuous view of how design computation entered architectural practice.

If you’re interested in where computational design really came from and what still matters as the industry looks ahead, this episode provides essential context.
