What Brand of Vacuum Cleaner Does Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle Use?
To begin with a traditional design process and then, at a later stage, attempt to retrofit some form of DfMA means compromising the design to make it fit the system, or creating a non-optimised, inefficient system – resulting in a disadvantaged built asset.. Kit-of-parts architecture.
In 2020, Bryden Wood launched PRiSM 2.0, providing more granular control to the user.We increased the typologies contained within the app and expanded the pattern book of apartments to provide additional variety.
We increased design freedom, giving users the ability to do things like reposition entrances in order to better respond to a site.. One of the biggest additions came with the introduction of geospatial data layers, which provide better understanding of the context around a site.This includes things like building heights, land classifications which reference conservation areas, transport infrastructure to gauge density more appropriately, highways information, which has a bearing on construction access restrictions, and even types of trees..In future, we hope to develop the app even further, to include elements like early stage embodied carbon assessment capability as well as expanding PRiSM’s geographical footprint which would require incorporating even more typologies.
Developing versions for other cities is also a possibility.. A Step Towards a Truly Digital Planning Approach.One thing we won’t do with PRiSM is duplicate functionality which already exists elsewhere.
PRiSM doesn’t aim to displace any existing software, tools or workflows.
With all of our Creative Technologies projects and automated design workflows at Bryden Wood, we aim to connect to other pieces of software that may be more proprietary - so that a user can carry on the design process in a more traditional way.This does not come without quality and technical challenges.
Local recycling, which is directly discouraged by some regulations, can increase batch-to-batch cross contamination.Recycling can concentrate impurities, an issue that requires monitoring and can drive the need for further processing.
The technical issues are primarily around ensuring solvent waste is neither mixed with other solvents nor with other water-based waste streams.In fact, the segregation of waste streams in manufacturing is a very significant first step as this opens the possibility of multiple approaches to extraction, recycling and treatment..
