The evolution of data centres: From one-off projects to standardised platforms.
Multiple uses refine the design, enhancing layouts, space allocation, and functional flows.. Configuring Reference Design.Chip Thinking® lends itself to the use of digital configurators, automating the design process.
These tools quickly generate compliant design options, enabling clients to make informed decisions rapidly.This approach not only speeds up the design process but also ensures high-quality, adaptable solutions tailored to specific site conditions and client needs.. Industrialising Reference Design.Even traditional construction processes benefit from optimised Reference Designs.
However, the true potential lies in unlocking DfMA and industrialised construction.Initial assets may be built traditionally, but subsequent assets can be increasingly industrialised, engaging key suppliers for standardised equipment and prefabricated sections.
This phased adoption allows the supply chain to adapt confidently, enhancing efficiency and reducing costs over time..
The above diagram showcases how Reference Design can be industrialised for efficient construction processes..Residents could easily get out of their property and into the natural environment, while still feeling safe..
This level of placemaking, along with the sustainability credentials of the scheme and the added benefit to the existing built environment, is what social value in architecture means to us at Bryden Wood..Constant reflection, evaluation, and improvement.
Bryden Wood continues to push as a practice to look at how we can deliver social value through our projects, learning from each scale and sector type to inform better design outcomes.As a multi-disciplinary company, Bryden Wood has the ability to collaborate across specialities to target each of the strands of social value we have identified, in a holistic approach to design.
