UX is the Cornerstone of Convenience as a Service

It’s no surprise by now that the pandemic accelerated end-users trends of seeking digital platforms that offered convenience as a service where there was none. And that convenience in service also meant a platform that was convenient and intuitive to use. We wondered how these demands were placing new pressures on UX designers to meet…

It’s no surprise by now that the pandemic accelerated end-users trends of seeking digital platforms that offered convenience as a service where there was none. And that convenience in service also meant a platform that was convenient and intuitive to use. We wondered how these demands were placing new pressures on UX designers to meet the moment? Donald Burlock, Sr. UX Designer at Amazon Lab126, gave his perspective on these convenience demands, and how they’re motivating UX designers bring the best out of their users.

AIA survey finds 74% of architecture firms used AI in day-to-day operations in 2025

AIA survey finds 74% of architecture firms used AI in day-to-day operations in 2025

The American Institute of Architects' Business of Architecture 2026 report found U.S. architecture firms generated $121.7 billion in gross billings in 2025, and 74% reported using artificial intelligence in day-to-day operations. The survey covers 2025, while AIA's monthly billings index has tracked a softer 2026. For firm leaders, the survey is most useful as a 2025 baseline for staffing, software and succession budgets.

  • 01AI use is now a majority habit in architecture firms, at 74% in 2025, but the report's public summary measures use rather than payoff, so firms still need their own test of what AI returns.
  • 02The firm survey's growth and profitability findings describe calendar 2025; the 2026 billings index points to average revenue down 3% and a flat 2027, so a firm benchmarking this year against the report should expect to look weaker without having slipped.
  • 03$152,000 in net billings per employee is a usable 2025 reference point, but only when compared on the same net basis and against firms of similar size.

Archeform BIM 1.1 aims to cut redraws for small SketchUp firms

Archeform BIM 1.1 aims to cut redraws for small SketchUp firms

Archeform BIM 1.1, a €199-a-year SketchUp extension, puts existing, demolished and new construction in one model, with a separate drawing set for each. It also adds material schedules and richer IFC4 export. For small practices, the exported file is the real test.

  • 01At €199 a year, Archeform BIM is priced against redraw time, and its key test is whether its IFC export is good enough for consultants and authorities.
  • 02Renovation work gains the most from version 1.1: one SketchUp model now produces separate drawing sets for existing, demolished and new construction, plus CSV material schedules with an optional breakdown by storey.
  • 03Authorities that accept SketchUp-authored models still judge the export. Singapore's CORENET X guidance tells teams to check geometry, storey structure, coordinates and required data in an IFC viewer before submission.

Fanshawe College's solar cladding is expected to supply around 18% of near-term power

Fanshawe College's solar cladding is expected to supply around 18% of near-term power

Fanshawe College's Innovation Village in Ontario carries 174.86 kWp of SolarLab solar cladding on every elevation, expected to supply around 18% of near-term power. A thin polymer layer keeps PV panels below the European A2 fire class, so fire strategy belongs beside the energy model from day one.

  • 01A 174.86 kWp solar facade on every elevation of a college building is estimated to produce 122.98 MWh a year, about 18% of near-term power, which works out to roughly 700 kWh per kWp.
  • 02PV panels have about 0.9 mm of polymer encapsulant that SolarLab says keeps them from reaching A2 under EN 13501-1, so ventilated-cavity fire blocking and wall detailing often need to be addressed early in design.
  • 03Modeling (one climate/device type) suggests maximizing PV output alone can trade off against total electricity use, so teams should balance generation with net consumption across tilt/orientation options.
