Prison architecture: rehabilitation and humane design with criminologist Professor Yvonne Jewkes, The University of Bath
All the projects have been developed through the use of BIM (Building Information Modelling) for seamless co-ordination and production of information, through to delivery on site, controlling the flow of information and delivery with a view to dramatically improving efficiency in design and delivery.Following a Master’s dissertation on healthcare architecture, Martina joined Bryden Wood and quickly established a key role in our healthcare team.. Martina now leads the.
Not one of waiting for a specification or brief, but one of asking searching questions, being curious, and, at times, challenging.There is a great deal of evidence that demonstrates that these approaches lead to projects which conceive of value well beyond normal experience..
The working assumption generally held in the pharmaceutical industry is that beyond the formulation of an accepted project concept, iterative and questioning approaches offer less value and maybe pose risks in later design stages.Therefore, the approach is to decide on a single concept to integrate the engineering structurally in an EPCM type contract and to focus purely on deliverables..This idea does not match reality and undermines the ability to both hold on to and even augment the delivered value.
As described by Henry Mintzberg about business strategy, engineering design will always include a combination of deliberate and emergent components.. Pretending a high level of fixation at best is counterproductive and at worst destructive to the project’s ability to deliver value.This is not the dreaded “change” or “scope creep”, it is about how the proposed project scope will naturally mould and how it can be integrated with how it will be delivered both in its physical, digital, and operational forms.
This integration itself will not leave the scope unchanged, the scope and concept will require adaption..
The question is how we use this emergence to the advantage of the project and the recipients of its value.In short, everything needs to change, and the Roadmap to 2030 offers the tools to do that.
The Roadmap goes beyond MMC and DfMA, looking at a holistic approach to delivering differently, not just in terms of platform construction and the kit-of-parts, but also the processes that come with it..The broader impact of TIP 2021.
The Roadmap to 2030 discusses the wider implications of the change.It talks about disaggregated supply chains, and therefore how we might engage SMEs, or how we might lower the barrier to entry.
