The Origins of VDC

Kritisk Linje

About this episode

I del 1 av denne dobbelepisoden prater vi med Martin Fischer, av mange regnet som opphavsmannen til Virtual Design and Construction (VDC). Han har i en årrekke undervist studenter ved Stanford University og rådgitt bedrifter og praktikere innen VDC-relaterte fagfelt.


De siste ti-femten årene har det vært en spesielt stor interesse for VDC-sertifisering, hvor han personlig har ledet kursene over hele verden. De siste årene har kurset blitt så populært i bl.a. Norge at man har gått sammen med lokale universitet og fått frem tidligere sertifiserte bransjefolk som mentorer for å lære opp hundrevis av bransjefolk per kull.


Martin reflekterer om VDCs opphav og historie, nåværende praksis og tanker om fremtiden. Det er fascinerende å høre at tankene som startet fagfeltet fremdeles er like aktuelle idag, og at det fremdeles er et enormt potensial i videreutvikling av faget i fremtiden.

Episoden foregår på engelsk.



In part one of this double episode, we talk with Martin Fischer, considered by many to be the founding father of Virtual Design and Construction (VDC). He has for many years taught students at Stanford University and advised companies and practitioners within VDC-related fields.


Especially in the last ten to fifteen years, there has been a significant interest in VDC certification, where he personally has led courses all over the world. In recent years, the course has become so popular in Norway, among other places, that it has collaborated with local universities to bring forth previously certified industry professionals as mentors to train hundreds of industry professionals per cohort.


Martin reflects on the origins and history of VDC, current practices, and thoughts on the future. It's fascinating to hear that the ideas that started the field are still as relevant today, and that there is still enormous potential in the further development of the field in the future.
