I assisted in sketching workshops, tutorials, formal reviews as well as crits and certain presentations for year 1 undergraduate architecture and interior architecture students.
This is where we start to see how we get to an open and transparent marketplace..The diagram below is one we often use to explain Platform construction.
In the centre are the physical elements: superstructure, envelope, fit out and MEP (mechanical, electrical and plumbing).Surrounding these are the supporting activities and tools which inform and leverage the physical components: spatial analysis, digital tools, and delivery.. ‘Spatial Analysis’.uses data from projects or programmes to create insight into what should be included in the physical ‘kit of parts’.
This will help to ‘develop and adopt shared requirements and common standards’ as described in the ‘harmonise, digitise and rationalise’ policy.. Spatial Analysis considers the requirements of the spaces that make up assets (lighting, air change rates, thermal comfort, acoustics and so on).It also includes details of the technical performance of the physical components that make them..
This is a key step in defining a Platform but also in creating a digital marketplace.
Specifications like these provide a precise and consistent brief for manufacturers to respond to.By prioritising innovation, dismantling disciplinary silos, and focusing on Design to Value, Bryden Wood consistently delivers transformative solutions.
Whether tackling climate change through renewable energy or enhancing societal outcomes via thoughtful design, we aim to exemplify how architecture and engineering can be forces for good.With a breadth of cross-sectoral experience connected by themes of challenge, change and growth, Trudi Sully is used to looking at the darkest sides of an industry and watching as innovation forges a transformational path to a better state of being.Pushing back and questioning why things are happening has become a key part of her process in her current role as Impact Director at the Construction Innovation Hub, a UK government funded programme established in response to the many and varied challenges currently impacting the construction industry..
Faced with a range of issues from slow technological adoption and poor productivity, to a serious level of major incidents and accidents, the construction ecosystem has long been in need of a major transformation.At Bryden Wood we’ve found that some of the greatest successes and quickest changes come from cross-fertilising ideas from one sector to another, disrupting a long-standing model with a better way of working.
