This allows the application of manufacturing techniques and processes, with consistent quality achieved, as well as facilitating greater economies of scale..
At Bryden Wood, we don’t see these tools as detrimental to the jobs of industry professionals.Instead, we see them as opportunities.
MMC technologies unlock potential to evolve our role as designers.With the time saving benefits created, we are able to design more buildings and infrastructure to a higher standard.Automation and digital technology give us the ability to explore more possible solutions in less time, choosing the best from a broader set of options.. PRiSM helps designers and architects to save time usually spent reinterpreting rules from design guides and building regulations.
After all, it’s in the placemaking, the creation of positive user experience and stimulating aesthetic, that designers have the biggest impact and provide the most value in their work - not in repetitive processes like rules reinterpretation.It’s also important to recognise that tools like PRiSM don’t need to limit beauty or individuality in the built environment.
We use standardisation like the hidden skeletal bones of a building, but the outer manifestation can be as individual and unique as we are as human beings.. A Helpful Tool for the Wider Design & Construction Industry.
When PRiSM launched, we deliberately described it as a broad but shallow tool.The demand curves were normalised curves.. To simply represent a portfolio of products I allocated a probability to each of the four trajectories.. Then I looked at scale.
I used a few API (chemical synthesis) projects to normalise a base scale.I then looked at relative scales around this.
The smallest being., the largest being.
