Thank you to the Bluebeam team for the invitation to UNBOUND Cologne 2026. It was a pleasure to be part of an event that brought together industry leaders, technology innovators, and design professionals to discuss the future of digital collaboration in the built environment.
Nicolas Sterling and Elke Sterling-Presser shared how Sterling Presser approaches advanced digital workflows, demonstrating how the practice combines technology with a strong focus on customer needs and user experience to deliver more efficient and collaborative project outcomes.
Nicolas presented the studio's hybrid, non-linear methodology for integrating 3D parametric design, artificial intelligence, and traditional 2D documentation. His session highlighted how connected digital workflows can improve design coordination, flexibility, and project delivery.
Elke participated in a panel discussion exploring how BIM, spatial computing, and PDFs can coexist within modern project environments. The conversation focused on creating smarter, data-rich workflows that bridge design, construction, and collaboration while supporting practical implementation across the industry.
