Our own Brick — En Obra reference panel logs the Gantenbein winery façade in Fläsch as the first built work of robotic masonry: some 20,000 bricks laid in 2006 by Gramazio Kohler with Bearth & Deplazes Architekten, each one rotated by an ABB industrial robot to a per-pixel angle so raking sunlight reads the elevation as a printed grape image. What made that possible was not the robot. It was the decision to treat every brick as a parameter rather than a hand-placement. Twenty years on, that idea has quietly walked off the research pavilion and onto the ordinary desk, where it meets its least glamorous but most persistent test: the window schedule.

On 15 July 2026 we run the next PAZ-Next Power Session — Fensterfit — a short, hands-on session on making windows in Archicad hold their fit, their labels and their counts through revision after revision. It is the sibling of our 15 June 2026 session on Wandfinishes (that one ran free at CHF 0.00, 11:30–12:00 CET, in German), and it comes from the same conviction: the pain is never the placing, it is the re-placing.

←TODAY: On 15 July 2026 we teach windows that keep their schedule when the plan changes at 17:00 on a Friday. →3012: A model where every opening carries its own truth needs no human to reconcile the list. Fulcrum: A window is only “smart” when one parameter draws the wall, prints the label, and increments the count — all three, or none.

Here is the problem we keep seeing in real offices. Someone widens an opening; the reveal detail drifts; the window tag stays put; the door-and-window Schedule still shows the old width; and three drawings quietly disagree with the model. It is the exact micro-management loop our Fensterfit session is built to close — with PAZ-BOX tooling and the native Interactive Schedule doing the reconciling instead of your evening. We have shipped this logic before in product form: our Fassadengenerator turned façade edits from remodeling into parameter changes, and Raumstempelfix batch-aligns room stamps across the four working scales (1:200, 1:100, 1:50, 1:20). Fensterfit brings the same discipline to openings.

Who it is for: architects who live in the Grundriss, digital planners, and BIM managers who own the office template — the same three roles our Wandfinishes session was built for. If you have ever re-counted windows by hand the night before a submission, this half-hour is aimed at you.

Atelier: The office adopting AI and automation this year does not need a moonshot; it needs one loop that stops leaking. This week, appoint one person to own the window Interactive Schedule as a single source of truth — nobody edits a count by typing over it. That is the whole Monday move: the schedule reads the model, never the reverse.

Hack: Walk every window in your model and read its true opening size, not the number someone typed into a tag. Before you trust an Archicad schedule, verify it against the IFC the project actually hands over — a five-line IfcOpenShell pass does it:

import ifcopenshell
model = ifcopenshell.open("project.ifc")
for w in model.by_type("IfcWindow"):
    print(w.Name, w.OverallWidth, w.OverallHeight)

Run it after every major revision; any window whose OverallWidth disagrees with its label is a documentation bug you just caught for free. The same instinct — read the model, don’t trust the drawing — is what our Archicad automation bootcamps teach across PARAM-O, Grasshopper, GDL and Python.

Bring one messy project, one recurring window headache, and one question. Sign up on the session page, then open your worst schedule before Tuesday — that is where the fix will land first.
