Bradly Hirdes, AIA, NCARB
Bradly is a Texas licensed architect originally from Michigan. His comprehensive approach to design brings a unique perspective to each project. Bradly is the Founding Principal of Ordinary Architecture Practice.
Bradly challenges traditional norms, harnessing technology to create structures with unmatched precision and sustainability using 3D printing tech to construct exterior walls and interior walls. 3D printing can significantly speed up the construction process as it allows for rapid and continuous layer-by-layer deposition of construction materials, eliminating the need for traditional manual labor and reducing construction time. His insights on the transformative potential of 3D printing in architecture, and the impact on the future of building design are fascinating.
