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":"228: 'What Did You Actually Do Today', with Steve Burrows CBE","slug":"228-what-did-you-actually-do-today-with-steve-burrows-cbe","published_at":"2026-04-28T13:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/trxl-889287/228-what-did-you-actually-do-today-with-steve-burrows-cbe","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/trxl-889287","url":"https://trxl.co/228","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/ae8cb71b-e34a-42b3-a7ac-306a79b95b78.mp3","summary":"Steve Burrows CBE joins the podcast to talk about why the construction industry keeps rewarding dysfunction instead of fixing it. We explore the gap between selling time and creating value, why startups keep failing to change construction by trying to change all of it at once, and what the collapse of Katerra actually taught the people who were in the room when it happened. This episode is especially relevant for firm leaders and engineers who feel trapped in the cycle of meetings, emails, and change orders, and who suspect the system they're operating in was never designed to produce great work. Steve makes a blunt, practical case for starting with what you can control, and his perspective is shaped by decades of working on some of the most complex structures in the world before walking away from the corporate path to figure out what comes next.
