Accelerate Live! talk: The data-driven future for AEC, Nathan Miller, Proving Ground


May 24, 2017

   

We call him the "other Oracle of Omaha.” Hailing from the great state of Nebraska, Nathan Miller has no formal training or education in computer coding—but don’t let that fool you. 

In short order, Miller has earned wide acclaim as one of the industry’s bright minds and most trusted consultants in the areas of computational design and data-driven design. As Founder and Managing Director of the consulting practice, Proving Ground, he has helped some of the nation’s largest AEC firms overcome challenges in the technology landscape. 

In this 15-minute talk at BD+C’s Accelerate Live! conference (May 11, 2017, Chicago), Miller presents his vision of a data-driven future for the business of design, where creativity is fueled by continuous improvement, and solutions are built on proof.
