This is a value-driver that is well known to Johnston, as a result of Bryden Wood’s work within the.
In addition to acting as a mentor for colleagues completing their architectural studies, she has since attended multiple universities as a guest critic, where she has presented cutting-edge Bryden Wood projects..In 2018, Jami ‘led the development of several projects that have pushed the boundaries of traditional architectural design and delivered groundbreaking solutions for both public and private sector clients, particularly in the residential sector,’ says Langley.. Cresser-Brown notes the importance of embracing new technologies and explains that her work leading the ‘Central Logic’ approach at Bryden Wood embeds ‘logic driven methodologies into digital workflows to accelerate design processes at varying scales and across a broad range of sectors.’.
With a goal of working smarter and more efficiently, standardising elements, which can be repeated without being detrimental to the overall design, is a key part of the solution.Ultimately, such a process allows a focus of effort on architectural features which enhance the built environment, says Jami.. She is currently working with the Creative Technologies team on two such projects.The first is a web app to accelerate the design of precision manufactured housing in London for the Greater London Authority (GLA).
It allows users to create intelligent models within a 3D context, based on government space standards and DfMA rationale.Adaptability and feedback on the suitability of certain DfMA construction systems are just some of its features.
Cresser-Brown notes that because designs are generated at speed, it allows users to ‘make objective decisions based on far greater exploratory studies than possible using traditional feasibility workflows.’.
Phil Langley points out that ‘the app encodes... ‘best practice’ design guidance from across the manufacturing and systemisation industry and will be made freely available and open source.’.We’re very highly regarded in finance and insurance, for example, and those things are required by world leaders who want to deliver infrastructure and construction programmes.
We’ve got all the various digital tools which are being developed and coming to market now.We have things like the Value Toolkit coming out of The Construction Innovation Hub.
The question is, how do we help governments make choices that support their ambitions?Value drivers aren’t exactly the same from one country to the next, and so we’ll need to help them make choices based on what’s best for their own local needs, projects and communities..
