Lab fit-out in a building originally intended for office use.
Learn about the cyclical nature of improvement in reference design, where lessons learned from ongoing operations are integrated into future iterations, fostering continual enhancement rather than constant reinvention.. Strategic site selection and design optimisation:.Explore how reference design aids in rapid site viability testing and decision-making, optimising design while ensuring compliance with technical standards..
Streamlined project lifecycle:.Understand how reference design accelerates the entire project process, from site selection to design and procurement, reducing design fees, expediting procurement, and providing certainty to the supply chain.. Watch the video above and find out how Bryden Wood's reference design approach reshapes the construction landscape, benefiting all stakeholders involved and significantly reducing project timelines.The video not only highlights the immediate advantages of this method but also ties it to broader themes like design automation and construction platform adoption.Some landmark buildings gain their status retrospectively, as their significance only reveals itself with the benefit of hindsight.
Others are designed deliberately with the intention of being ‘iconic’..In the case of the Forge, its landmark status comes as the culmination of many years of thinking and development, and the first embodied proof point of an approach to design and construction that has the potential to transform construction..
In doing so, it delivers a raft of benefits to the built environment and, in particular through significant reductions in embodied and operational carbon, to society more broadly (the construction sector currently accounts for 38% of global carbon emissions)..
The terrace (rendering).Sustainability and Responsibility:.
Finally, the discussion acknowledges the critical role of the construction industry in addressing global challenges such as climate change and resource conservation.Professor Whyte calls for a conscientious approach to design and construction that minimises environmental impact and promotes sustainability, urging the industry to leverage digital tools and innovative practices to build more responsibly for the future..
Through her insightful conversation with Adam, Jennifer paints a compelling picture of the future of construction—an industry poised for radical change through leadership, innovation, and collaboration.Her expertise and vision offer valuable guidance for professionals at all levels of the sector, highlighting the urgent need for a collective effort towards a more sustainable, efficient, and resilient built environment..
