There’s a certain amount of security in taking a brief and just doing what has been asked of you.
The concept of a platform approach to DfMA (P-DfMA) has been adopted by the UK Government, particularly the Infrastructure and Projects Authority (IPA), who have said they will mandate construction platforms by 2023 for all social infrastructure..The pre-manufactured components of platform construction (P-DfMA) systems are specifically designed to be standardised and mass-produced by a wide supply chain, like the mechanical components of a car, to deliver the greatest possible factory efficiency and economies of scale..
The components can be easily transported and moved, and they fit together quickly and simply on site with the least amount of handling.Platform construction systems are designed to be flexible and customisable to avoid limiting design freedom and allow massing, form and aesthetic treatments to be considered on a plot-specific basis.. Driving value with MMC and P-DfMA.Construction platforms are an example of an approach to DfMA that relies on both off-site and on-site construction works, bringing the best aspects of both.
The division of fabrication and assembly tasks has been carefully considered to maximise the efficiency of both factory prefabrication and on-site assembly.This is a key aspect of Bryden Wood’s.
Design to Value.
approach: considering how the benefits promised by MMC can be maximised to deliver better outcomes for clients, contractors, end users and society as a whole..

He suggests avoiding discussions about general AI and instead focusing on practical applications.. 3.Next generation of architects (Gen Z).
Randy is optimistic about the current generation of architecture graduates, describing them as loyal, dedicated, and environmentally conscious.He predicts a 5-7 year 'renaissance' period where these new professionals will drive significant change in the industry, before many potentially move into startups or entrepreneurial ventures.. 4.
