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":"235: 'How Olson Kundig Scaled AI Adoption Across a 300-Person Firm', with Marlene Chen and Blair Payson","slug":"235-how-olson-kundig-scaled-ai-adoption-across-a-300-person-firm-with-marlene-chen-and-blair-payson","published_at":"2026-07-28T13:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/trxl-889287/235-how-olson-kundig-scaled-ai-adoption-across-a-300-person-firm-with-marlene-chen-and-blair-payson","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/trxl-889287","url":"https://trxl.co/235","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/cd6f91be-f0d5-40f3-9573-168020016e41.mp3","summary":"Marlene Chen and Blair Payson join the podcast to talk about how a firm known for design, not technology, actually puts new tools to work. We explore the office-wide crit they ran to surface friction points across every role and experience level, the shift that took their visualization team from three people to effectively 150, and the messy reality of adoption: rogue folders on personal desktops, a surprise surge in software licenses, and the slow work of change management inside a 300-person practice. This episode is especially relevant for firm leaders, design technologists, and anyone responsible for getting a growing practice to adopt new tools without flattening its culture. If you've ever wondered how a studio this size balances experimentation against deadlines, and why the people always matter more than the technology, this one will give you plenty to sit with.
