摘要
It was a pleasure to welcome Brian Potter on the podcast! Brian is the author of the excellent Construction Physics blog, where he discusses why the construction industry has been slow to industrialize and innovate.
He explains why:
-Construction isn’t getting cheaper and faster,
-“Ugly” modern buildings are simply the result of better architecture,
-China is so great at building things,
-Saudi Arabia’s Line is a waste of resources,
-Environmental review makes new construction expensive and delayed
and much much more!
