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":"226: 'Think Slower to Move Faster', with Charles Portelli","slug":"226-think-slower-to-move-faster-with-charles-portelli","published_at":"2026-04-07T13:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/trxl-889287/226-think-slower-to-move-faster-with-charles-portelli","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/trxl-889287","url":"https://trxl.co/226","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/63f75408-7ba0-484e-91dc-55f6c51d7a3e.mp3","summary":"Charles Portelli joins the podcast to talk about what you learn when you leave architecture to build software, and what you bring back when you return. We explore the gap between how buildings are designed and how they're actually fabricated, why the most valuable work inside a large firm is often the least glamorous, and what it would take to build an AI-powered project assistant that actually knows everything about a job. This episode is especially relevant for design technology leaders, firm principals, and anyone working on the internal tooling side of architecture. If you've felt the tension between chasing the next new capability and keeping everyone from drowning in an ever-growing tool stack, Charlie names that problem clearly and talks about what a more patient, intentional path forward looks like.
