TRXL
Evan Troxel
TRXL is the definitive podcast on technology and the architecture and engineering professions — and the longest-running. 200+ episodes. Five years. Conversations with the founders, researchers, designers, and firm leaders who are actually shaping how architecture gets practiced.
Hosted by Evan Troxel, a licensed architect with over 25 years in AEC, TRXL is built for architects, BIM managers, design technologists, computational designers, and firm leaders who want to stay ahead of where the profession is going — not catch up after it's already moved.
Topics include artificial intelligence in architecture, BIM, digital practice, firm culture, design tools and workflows, project delivery, sustainability, and the organizational transformation that follows when the technology your firm depends on keeps changing.
Each episode is a long-form, unscripted conversation with guests who are doing the work — not narrating it from the sidelines. Guests have included firm principals, CTOs and CIOs, software founders, researchers, and practitioners from leading firms and institutions worldwide.
Ranked in the top 3% of all podcasts globally.
