Show Notes
In this special Campfire Series episode, Neil Katz joins the podcast to tell us about the evolution of architectural technology from first principles. Long before CAD, BIM, parametrics, or AI became industry buzzwords, Neil was there. From technics and morphology, to early programming in BASIC and geometry-driven thinking, to custom software at SOM, to landmark projects that pushed behavior-based design into real buildings, his career offers a rare, continuous view of how design computation entered architectural practice.
If you’re interested in where computational design really came from and what still matters as the industry looks ahead, this episode provides essential context.
