Yesterday, DEWALT, accompanied by Procore, announced their new WiFi Mesh, which promises to increase wireless connectivity on the jobsite. We talked to two DEWALT executives about the new product — here's what they had to say.
"Data-driven design" suggests an impersonal, robotic process that replaces human creativity with cold numbers. But at our latest BuildIdeas Breakfast, we learned from IBM Watson and Detroit Mercy Hospital that it can mean greater customer satisfaction.
Despite wavering venture investment, the clean energy market is still growing from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Here, the annual Clean Energy Trust Challenge gives us a welcome opportunity to check in on multiple, vibrant efforts to implement power innovation.
If cities will yield the richest data upon which tomorrow's most consequential decisions will be based, then it is no surprise they were a recurring topic at last week's BuiltWorlds Summit. To see some of the actionable insights that were shared, read on.
Just days after the former First Lady urged architects not to neglect inner cities, she and her husband came home to Chicago this week to reveal their vision for a $500-million community hub that they hope will reinvigorate a long-struggling community.
Two Middle East towers are vying for the distinction as the world's tallest. The winner is already known, but the other structure, due for completion in 2020, may temporarily eclipse the current tallest building, Dubai, UAE's Burj Khalifa, first.
BIG boost. Determined to lead in global engineering, tiny Dubai said this month that it will build the world's first functioning hyperloop transport system, aiming for speeds of 700 mph. The high-powered team now includes Danish disruptor Bjarke Ingels.
Boundless ambition. Already home to the world's tallest tower, Dubai now intends to become the global capital of 3D-printed construction. In June, it 3D-printed an office building offsite. Now, it aims to create a new lab on site. Who dares to doubt Dubai?
Unlike peanut butter and chocolate, sand and copy machines have never been seen as a good pair. But that has not stopped the Middle East from making a determined effort to lead the world in 3D-printing actual buildings. China's WinSun Global is happy to help.
Maker's mark. Make no mistake, the UAE is more than a little obsessed with 3D printing. Just weeks ago, Dubai created an office building from scratch in just 19 days. Now the government is determined to use maker technology to leave its mark on the world.
No one really knows what the City of the Future will look like, though WIRED has given us a glimpse of it, citing eight metro areas whose forward thinking it contends is spawning spaces and places that are “more environmentally sound.”
The World's first 3D printed building is coming to Dubai. The 2,000 square-foot structure will be one story tall and will be built entirely using 3D printing technology.
From the Biblical Tower of Babel to the ongoing surge of skyscrapers, building tall has always been the tallest of orders. FieldLens' Kelly Lignos Ziv compares the tech behind two of history's most iconic towers.
