I have so many awesome and clever friends. Really proud of Dr. Taryn Foster, she's working at the nexus of coral research and robotics to upscale coral reef restoration projects. Check out this new 4 minute clip on the project!

Incredible how fast Saudi Arabia is going forward with their #megacity The Line. Officially it broke ground in October. #satelite Pictures show their progress. Am curious if they will keep up with the current pace.

In Westaustralien 🇦🇺 entsteht das größte #Radioteleskop 📡 der Welt. Dabei werden im Outback mehr als 130.000 Antennen errichtet, die ein wenig an Weihnachtsbäume erinnern. Am Projekt ist auch Deutschland mit dem Max-Planck-Institut für Radioastronomie beteiligt. Mehr darüber ⬇️

Interesting paper from Naudé about #innovation stagnation/declination especially in #germany.
Can u believe that the innovation peak in Germany was in the 19th century?
This article about #jakarta 's #flood problem shows how important it is to find solutions that locals also accept. While planning new solutions one has to keep the socio-cultural aspects mind. In this example new houses were built for flood affected people outside the risk zone, but those were standard high rise houses not considering the way of living in their communities. So architects planned the houses together with the residents and constructed a #verticalvillage
Pretty cool approach in segmenting #pointcloud s using #ML to interpret pirctures and fuse those information into the pointcloud and finally create a #digitaltwin. This method has been tested out on a brigde for maintenance issues in the project TwinGen.
It’s insane what it going on at #twitter. I mean sometimes it can be successful to lead a company as a hardliner, but what #elonmusk obviously fails to do is create a vision and create a „we-feeling“. Threats, ultimatums and straightout creating chaos without really understanding how internal processes of the original twitter company are working can only lead to this. #leadership looks differently.
#otd in 1988, the Soviet Space Shuttle #Buran launched for the first and only time on the giant #Energia rocket. This is the giant rail transporter-erector that was built for the project at the #BaikonurCosmodrome. The 'grasshopper' was pulled by by four railcars and was used to bring the stack to the launch site. I took this picture in 2014 during a visit to Baikonur. But I am pretty sure that those 2700+ tons of steel still sit exactly in the same place today.

"Which IFC class should I use?" is a great resource fro mthe #blenderbim website if you're working with #buildingsmart #IFC and not sure which class is right for your object. Check it out!
9 governments joined the international alliance for offshore windparks to expand the wind generation from 60GW today to more than 350GW by 2030. But more than 2000GW are needed by 2050 to limit the rising temperatures at 1.5 degrees celsius.
In the #construction industry #quadrupedrobots currently are in trend to help inter alia with autonomous monitoring. Besides #Spot from #bostondynamics we tested an a1 from #unitree. We definitely have to change the software on this one
