Five years. Conversations with the founders, researchers, designers, and firm leaders who are actually shaping how architecture gets practiced. Hosted by Evan Troxel, a licensed architect with over 25 years in AEC, TRXL is built for architects, BIM managers, design technologists, computational designers, and firm leaders who want to stay ahead of where the profession is going — not catch up after it's already moved. Topics include artificial intelligence in architecture, BIM, digital practice, firm culture, design tools and workflows, project delivery, sustainability, and the organizational transformation that follows when the technology your firm depends on keeps changing. Each episode is a long-form, unscripted conversation with guests who are doing the work — not narrating it from the sidelines. Guests have included firm principals, CTOs and CIOs, software founders, researchers, and practitioners from leading firms and institutions worldwide. Ranked in the top 3% of all podcasts globally.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-29T02:18:39.901454+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/trxl-889287"},"episode":{"title":"225: 'A Nuclear Bomb Moment', with Antonio González Viegas","slug":"225-a-nuclear-bomb-moment-with-antonio-gonz-lez-viegas","published_at":"2026-03-31T13:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/trxl-889287/225-a-nuclear-bomb-moment-with-antonio-gonz-lez-viegas","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/trxl-889287","url":"https://trxl.co/225","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/7e8f0aaf-aec0-4bce-a4cc-ce5e3a818efe.mp3","summary":"Antonio González Viegas joins the podcast to talk about the open source infrastructure layer he's building for BIM software and why the barriers that have protected legacy vendors for decades are collapsing faster than most people realize. We explore why every BIM company has been forced to reinvent the same foundational technology from scratch, how That Open Company is giving those pieces away under an MIT license, and what happens when AI compresses years of development into weeks. Antonio coined the phrase \"nuclear bomb moment\" to describe where BIM software development stands right now, and the conversation pushes hard on whether that framing holds up. This episode is especially relevant for firm leaders, BIM managers, and design technologists watching the AEC software market shift beneath them. If you're weighing vendor lock-in against emerging alternatives, or wondering whether small teams with AI can actually compete with established platforms, this conversation will sharpen your thinking.
