Industrialised construction: transforming the industry with productisation & DfMA innovation
To realise this ecosystem, Bryden Wood is involved in developing a technological infrastructure that provides tools and services that make it easy for customers and suppliers to interact to realise the required refurbishments.. To make that possible, Bryden Wood also need to create an engineering platform solution: a building system that can deliver the required variety of solutions for differing requirements in different situations, but that is rationalised, standardised and optimised appropriately to enable the required simplification of all processes that make it possible for the supply chain to collaboratively deliver this built solution.. New nuclear: system simplification and standardisation with P-DfMA.
Algorithmic design.– we use different algorithms to suit different patterns, but we are cautious.
Algorithmic processes can be complex and not easy to understand, so we look for moments of intervention within processes that allow people to interfere and hopefully understand the process.(And we document everything!).– we don’t exist in a bubble, so we join our design automation tech to other systems and platforms so as not to duplicate functionality where it already exists, or ‘centralise’ either data or process.
– ultimately, technology is about people and we want to put design automation into the hands of the many.The experience is not supposed to be deterministic but reflexive and co-created between people and technology.
Each of these threads connects and is informed by other areas of work at Bryden Wood.
Creative Technologies could only thrive in a company with a truly integrated approach..Need for Integrated Systemic Solutions:.
Investment tends to focus on individual technologies, but the podcast stresses the importance of understanding the ‘network value’ and integration of these solutions within a broader, complex industrial system, rather than viewing them in isolation.. 4.Governmental Intervention is Essential to Drive Change:.
The market alone is unlikely to deliver the necessary speed and scale of decarbonisation in these sectors.Mandates (‘sticks’), like those seen for SAF, and incentivisation (‘carrots’), such as carbon sequestration payments, are essential for stimulating investment and progress.. 5.
