Improving productivity in construction, Built Environment Matters podcast with Josh Johnson, Expert - Engineering Construction & Building Materials at McKinsey & Company. Part 2 of 2.

These spaces need adequate ventilation, therefore.

Understand how reference design accelerates the entire project process, from site selection to design and procurement, reducing design fees, expediting procurement, and providing certainty to the supply chain.. Watch the video above and find out how Bryden Wood's reference design approach reshapes the construction landscape, benefiting all stakeholders involved and significantly reducing project timelines.The video not only highlights the immediate advantages of this method but also ties it to broader themes like design automation and construction platform adoption.Some landmark buildings gain their status retrospectively, as their significance only reveals itself with the benefit of hindsight.

Others are designed deliberately with the intention of being ‘iconic’..In the case of the Forge, its landmark status comes as the culmination of many years of thinking and development, and the first embodied proof point of an approach to design and construction that has the potential to transform construction..In doing so, it delivers a raft of benefits to the built environment and, in particular through significant reductions in embodied and operational carbon, to society more broadly (the construction sector currently accounts for 38% of global carbon emissions)..

The terrace (rendering).The Forge is a development of two nine-storey commercial office buildings, approximately 14,000m2 large, in central London, close to the Tate Modern.

It is a collaboration between.

, one of the UK’s largest real estate companies, Bryden Wood as architects and engineers, and the prototyping and fabricating company.In addition, public resistance to building out an ever increasing amount of infrastructure is mounting, and this resistance is happening before the conversation even turns to transmission, which, Gogan says, is very difficult to build, as it’s hard to make the case that people will directly benefit from things such as the creation of jobs.

This results in real challenges over land use.. And yet, the net zero transition is undoubtedly going to require a large amount of new infrastructure to be built, raising big questions about where to build it.Gogan points out that it really doesn't matter how cheap something is, if you can't build it in the first place.

What we need to do now, she says, is reevaluate the perceived risks of nuclear, against the risks of failing to decarbonise, and adopt advanced heat solutions to help us on our journey.. At Bryden Wood, we believe it’s important to lean into all of the technologies available to us at this critical time.While it’s possible that thirty years from now we might find other ways to sustainably meet our energy needs without nuclear technologies, to not have these highly beneficial, advanced heat solutions in our toolbox now would be a huge mistake..
