Replying to @beyondAEC
@beyondAEC hackathon update: All teams hitting that 4am wall, but still pushing though. Really good work happening all through the @SGH_Engineering Waltham office in VR, generative buildings, construction waste reduction, file sharing and others.

It’s almost 4:30am, do you know where your DYNs are? Well if you’re using “Pack and Play” then they could be in your RVTs. More to come soon!

We’ve outdone ourselves this year on the trophies for the #beyondAEC Hackathon winners! 3D Voronoi clusters that pull apart so everyone on the winning team(s) take home a memento of their experience
