Curious about the future of UAVs in AEC? Look no further than Simon Yorke’s class from AU 2016. An advanced design technologist for Aurecon, a global engineering firm, Yorke illustrated his innovative recipe of UAVs, photogrammetry, AR, VR, ReCap, ReMake, 3dsMax, Dynamo, and Stingray using the case study of the earthquake-damaged Deans Head site in New Zealand. His groundbreaking approach not only saved considerable time and money, but also improved safety.
Here we catch up with Yorke and quiz him on his maverick tendencies.
What were your engineering milestones of the past?
So far my career has allowed me the opportunity to work on some amazing and varied projects that span Aurecon’s global reach. Some of the standouts have been working to adapt artificial intelligence software that was created for the movie industry to use for simulating the movement of vehicles and pedestrians for predictive…
