Aditazz, Inc.
Aditazz is a Silicon Valley technology company that borrows the automated, rule-based workflows of semiconductor chip design and applies them to the design and construction of complex buildings. Its SaaS platform captures human engineering and architectural expertise as design rules, then uses algorithms and digital twins to generate, simulate and optimize building layouts before a single wall is built. Founded in 2010 by chip designer Deepak Aatresh and architect Zigmund Rubel, the company first targeted healthcare facilities - winning Kaiser Permanente's 'Small Hospital, Big Idea' competition - and has since applied its methods to hospitals, labs, and other infrastructure across the U.S., China and India.
Chris Giattina
Chris Giattina is the founder and CEO of BLOX, a Bessemer, Alabama company that builds hospitals the way Detroit builds cars. A University of Pennsylvania-trained architect who runs the family firm Giattina Aycock (GA Studio), he turned a former Pullman railcar plant into a million-square-foot factory where acute-care medical facilities are designed, manufactured, and assembled using his Design-Manufacture-Construct (DMC) method. His pitch is a clean equation: buildings at twice the quality, twice the speed, and twice the value - what he calls 2x2x2.
