This week on The Weekly show, BD+C editors speak with AEC industry leaders from PBDW Architects and Wohlsen Construction about:
Conor Evans, Project Executive with Wohlsen Construction, talks with BD+C's David Barista about his firm's pilot-testing of wireless concrete sensing technology on a senior living facility in Franklin Lakes, N.J.
The tiny sensors were embedded in each of the project's 12-inch pours to provide real-time monitoring and data collection of the facility's superstructure. The technology, by UK-based Converge, can provide more accurate and timely readings on concrete strength.
Senior Editor John Caulfield interviews Anne Holford-Smith of PBDW Architects in New York. Anne is an expert in adaptive reuse and she explains what makes these projects successful. Anne is also a Commissioner of the New York Landmarks Commission.

Walid Thabet and Keresh Afasari from Virginia Tech, and Stephen DeVito and John Serdakowski from Procon Consulting outline the applications, advantages, and obstacles with using SPOT on construction jobsites.
The first application the team is studying: using SPOT to capture construction progress photos and video at several jobsites on VT's campus, a task that typically would require a project manager/superintendent to walk the site several times daily.
Representatives from architecture firms CallisonRTKL and Ankrom Moison tell why and how their firms achieved the Just label from the International Living Future Institute.
