Reece Masucci - First Post

My name is Reece Masucci, I am a Junior and I study Architectural Engineering. My background relevant to the course is I am familiar with the way the professor works, but he can always throw a curve-ball at us. When thinking about the term 'Intelligent Building' I have little to no experience with the phrase.

My expectations for the course: I am expecting to learn more about computer technologies, such as BIM tools as well as getting an exposure to tools like Blogger and Evernote. I have yet to use either of these websites, so I am excited to jump into them. I have been exposed to a blog structured class before, but we did not use Blogger.

The Evernote I found most interesting fell under the Sociology tag, titled 'What will the future of work look like?' It talked about the amount of people that would need to worry about finding a new job by 2030 due to Artificial Intelligence. Low skilled and low paying jobs are the ones expected to be hit the hardest. Up to 375 million people may need to change their career. This idea now includes the fact that machines could be programmed to make more machines that replace jobs.

My initial definition of an Intelligent Building is a structure that takes efficiency and functionality into consideration while automatically operating some of the buildings functions.
