Leaving Architecture to REMAP digital design, ft. Jack Stewart and Ben Porter

Leaving Architecture to REMAP digital design, ft. Jack Stewart and Ben Porter

Digital design careers can sit between architecture, BIM, data, automation, communication and software. That makes them hard to define, but increasingly valuable.

Stephen Drew speaks with Jack Stewart and Ben Porter about leaving traditional architecture roles to build REMAP, how digital design works in practice and why technology specialists are becoming more important in the built environment.

The conversation covers:

  • Why Jack and Ben moved from architecture practice into digital design
  • How REMAP approaches technology, automation and data-led communication
  • What digital design means beyond BIM production
  • How AI and automation are changing architecture workflows
  • What aspiring technologists should learn if they want to move into this space
