Talk Python to Me: #342: Python in Architecture (as in actual buildings)

At PyCon 2017, Jake Vanderplas gave a great keynote where he said, "Python is a mosaic." He described how Python is stronger and growing because it's being adopted and used by people with diverse technical backgrounds. In this episode, we're adding to that mosaic by diving into how Python is being used in the architecture, engineering, and construction industry. Our guest, Gui Talarico, has worked as an architect who help automate that world by bringing Python to solve problems others were just doing by point-and-click tooling. I think you'll enjoy this look into that world. We also touch on his project pyairtable near the end as well.<br/> <br/> <strong>Links from the show</strong><br/> <br/> <div><b>Pyninsula Python in Architecture Talk</b>: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6BKT4rLncM" target="_blank" rel="noopener">youtube.com</a><br/> <b>Using technology to scale building design processes at WeWork talk</b>: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qbdt8kMj2Eo&t=90s" target="_blank" rel="noopener">youtube.com</a><br/> <b>Revit software</b>: <a href="https://ift.tt/2rvskhF" target="_blank" rel="noopener">autodesk.com</a><br/> <b>Creating a command in pyRevit</b>: <a href="https://ift.tt/30NEok1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">notion.so</a><br/> <b>IronPython</b>: <a href="https://ironpython.net/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ironpython.net</a><br/> <b>Python.NET</b>: <a href="https://ift.tt/3CLaKbY" target="_blank" rel="noopener">github.com</a><br/> <b>revitpythonwrapper</b>: <a href="https://ift.tt/3CMJ86r" target="_blank" rel="noopener">readthedocs.io</a><br/> <b>aec.works site</b>: <a href="https://ift.tt/30SxlG8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">aec.works</a><br/> <b>Speckle</b>: <a href="https://ift.tt/3xkV4Ll" target="_blank" rel="noopener">speckle.systems</a><br/> <b>Ladybug Tools</b>: <a href="https://ift.tt/3l2zypZ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ladybug.tools</a><br/> <b>Airtable</b>: <a href="https://ift.tt/3subVsW" target="_blank" rel="noopener">airtable.com</a><br/> <b>PyAirtable</b>: <a href="https://ift.tt/3nLiwhD" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pyairtable.readthedocs.io</a><br/> <b>PyAirtable ORM</b>: <a href="https://ift.tt/3HQ3gZ5" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pyairtable.readthedocs.io</a><br/> <b>Revitron</b>: <a href="https://ift.tt/30Y2d8w" target="_blank" rel="noopener">github.com</a><br/> <b>WeWork</b>: <a href="https://www.wework.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wework.com</a><br/> <b>Article: Using Airtable as a Content Backend</b>: <a href="https://ift.tt/2xY9JC2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">medium.com</a><br/> <b>Python is a Mosaic Talk</b>: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyjCqQEUa8o" target="_blank" rel="noopener">youtube.com</a><br/> <b>Watch this episode on YouTube</b>: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fmr2GP5aojE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">youtube.com</a><br/> <b>Episode transcripts</b>: <a href="https://ift.tt/3HO9l8b" target="_blank" rel="noopener">talkpython.fm</a><br/> <br/> <b>---------- Stay in touch with us ----------</b><br/> <b>Subscribe on YouTube (for live streams)</b>: <a href="https://ift.tt/3DznvIg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">youtube.com</a><br/> <b>Follow Talk Python on Twitter</b>: <a href="https://twitter.com/talkpython" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@talkpython</a><br/> <b>Follow Michael on Twitter</b>: <a href="https://twitter.com/mkennedy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@mkennedy</a><br/></div><br/> <strong>Sponsors</strong><br/> <a href='https://ift.tt/3k8IUjq> <a href='https://ift.tt/3aBjB2k> <a href='https://ift.tt/3vjihuL> <a href='https://ift.tt/2PVc9qH Python Training</a>
