This is a fragmented industry in which the building product exists for a long time in different environmental conditions and the financiers, designers, constructors and operators have differing incentives. Tools that aim to unify, connect and standardize are welcome but their creators should ditch the jargon when trying to explain the value proposition.
Yes there's a skilled labor shortage, a consequent move towards manufacturing in construction and this has led to CAD to CAM software solutions (for example) similarly vertical integration has spawned workflow automation related to supply chain (another example) and a final example is smart technology automating control systems which has also led to software development.
In this context the value proposition of Hypar needs to be much less opaque, I'm not saying it's not there but it's not obvious.
One downside/cost is that this seems likely to result in buildings that are more difficult to re-use for other purposes, e.g. because they're designed for an extremely narrow/specific use originally.

This was very interesting!

I am building industry adjacent so don't know all the lingo.
What does the TLA (3 letter acronym) AEC stand for?
I will of course be going to GTS (Google that stuff) after completing this comment
