What is a DAO and why does it matter to AEC?

-
Introduction Blockchain technology has revolutionized many industries worldwide, and the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry is no exception. A significant innovation in this context is the DAO, which is a "Decentralized Autonomous Organization". A DAO is a blockchain-based organizational structure that operates decentralised, enabling transparent and collaborative decision-making and facilitating participatory governance. In this article, we'll explore what exactly a DAO is and why it's relevant and important to the AEC industry. What is a DAO? A DAO is an autonomous, organization-like entity that operates through smart contracts on a blockchain network. Unlike a traditional company, there is no hierarchical structure of power, nor the need for intermediaries such as managers or executives. Instead, decision-making is carried out collectively and transparently, through voting based on ownership of tokens or units of the DAO's native c

What Wrong With Corbel?

Issue: Why the beam isn't connected with corbel column?. Although blue dots is centre to centre with the column. Solution: The column material for Model Behavior is set as Precast Concrete. This means that the element is not joining with other Concrete elements, like the beam. You can set the material to Concrete and the beam will join correctly. Alternatively, you can make the beam Precast Concrete and adjust the cutback. Source: Autodesk Forum Bottom line: Revit behaves as it was like in a real-world scenario. How could it possible if precast column corbel can be connected to a cast in situ beam. Maybe there's a possible way for this kind of connection technology. Any thoughts?
