I build buildings with robots and computers as co-founder of SumPoint, at @MIT 2&4

Demo out today of our collaborative modeling tool for coordinating install on construction sites via Survey. Point data is streamed from our total station and compared to the 3D model in real-time, providing instantaneous direction to field crews. https://t.co/3mV6pAqZdF #zahner

Soon to be my absolute favorite website! Plants rejoice!!

[Moe Amaya @moeamaya]

✨ Launching tomorrow ✨

🌱🌿🪴 My wife spent the last 8 mo working on a beautifully designed houseplants site (learned Figma & Webflow👌)

With confidence-boosting plant guides and deep dives into care (over 80k words 🤯), we're hoping it's the best damn plant site on the web!

@brianringley @UC_DAAP I will most definitely keep an eye out! No sightings thus far after 5 years .... perhaps they’re nocturnal ???

[James Coleman @colemajr]

@nervous_jesse @nervous_jessica @nervous_system It’s impossible - don’t fret :)

Robots! And what happens post-fablab for students of architecture:

[Zahner @azahner]

Monday 11/30 @ 7-8PM, join us for a conversation on the realities of robots in architectural practice with multiple panelists including James Coleman (Zahner Labs) hosted by the GSD Fabrication Lab. Join us here: https://t.co/dHmUCteggO

@RevJordinn Craig... get off Jordinn’s phone! :)

Launching a new product prototype today - Louver Surface. Experiments in robotically formed laser cut sheet metal surfaces. Have a look and try the configurator here: https://t.co/0egIVyFsBr

[James Coleman @colemajr]

It will make a great empty lot.

[James Coleman @colemajr]

How is this possible? @HistoricKC @QuintonLucasKC @KCMOPlanning @historicpicskc This is minutes from downtown and one of the few buildings still “standing” in our neighborhood @azahner

My take on diy ppe face shields:
die-cut don’t print! Design in the works but I think it has potential! #covid #opensourceppe #ppe #diy

@GoinPostalKC @makervillagekc @HistoricKC @historicpicskc @azahner @LRonHubbard Wrong group- this was 1897 :)

[James Coleman @colemajr]

@leggokc @HistoricKC @QuintonLucasKC @KCMOPlanning @historicpicskc @azahner I thought we learned this lesson in the 60s! https://t.co/jlJQmbIPEg KC seems to have missed the memo.

[James Coleman @colemajr]

@KCMOPlanning @HistoricKC @QuintonLucasKC @historicpicskc @azahner Thanks for the reply! Yes I didn’t see it on the registers- which made me very worried! Does registration have to be completed by the owner? Or can a private citizen petition and supply provenance?

[James Coleman @colemajr]

You don’t have to look far for a partial salvage adaptive reuse! @JCHSMissouri

[James Coleman @colemajr]

@TattooedDolly @thelovelygirl @HistoricKC @QuintonLucasKC @KCMOPlanning @historicpicskc @azahner Not just a chunk- they are planning to level it all.

[James Coleman @colemajr]

Another excellent example of phased reuse - a lively space even when it was just the stone walls! https://t.co/WmFeXGWIjD

[James Coleman @colemajr]

#preservationists have thoughts/strategies on saving this? #historic #kansascity #historickc

[James Coleman @colemajr]

@ChrisWPhoto @kccrank @HistoricKC @QuintonLucasKC @KCMOPlanning @historicpicskc @azahner I’m sure those are the arguments being used to defend the demolition- but costs are all contingent on the reuse strategy. A million ways to use this structure- especially since the primary structure is in such great shape. This is a great example https://t.co/9BDiojSw4F

[James Coleman @colemajr]

@kansascityjake @kccrank @HistoricKC @QuintonLucasKC @KCMOPlanning @historicpicskc @azahner Because no one is around to protest??

[James Coleman @colemajr]

@RaisingFaith1 @HistoricKC @QuintonLucasKC @KCMOPlanning @historicpicskc @azahner Church up the street from Zahner on 9th..... roof is perfect- stone amazing
