Tech the Season: Elevate Your Holidays with the Latest Christmas Gadgets
When asked about the biggest challenge of his apprenticeship so far, Charlie says, ‘Upon joining Bryden Wood, I came straight from school.
Circle Rehabilitation is a beautiful building, with some spectacular architectural and engineering features, as well as being a cutting-edge, best-in-class hospital with five operating theatres, ten first stage recovery beds, 20 second stage recovery beds, 20 hospital bedrooms and 120 bedrooms for rehabilitation patients.It has a comprehensive imaging department and a large physiotherapy capacity for elective care and rehabilitation services.. And yet it cost 30% less to build than comparable hospitals.. Design to Value - an integrated approach to architecture and construction.
Bryden Wood’s approach is always to apply our integrated design expertise to analyse projects exhaustively, and make sure that we deliver the solution that adds the most value.We question everything, and take nothing for granted, in line with our Design to Value approach.. Design to Value is well understood and applied in the manufacturing industries.It leads to objective analysis of every aspect of a process, every element of resource requirement, energy consumption, knowledge, and cost.
It leads to testing of the value parameters each of these elements is being measured against.It is rigorous, logical and data-driven.
Its application in construction is transformational..
Bringing learning to every healthcare design project.Making these decisions is why people become planners in the first place..
If architects are using 3D models, why would planners use 2D drawings and not those models?When daylight tracking is measurable and predictable (if complex), why would planners be checking the architects’ sums, armed with a calculator, when a ‘digital app’ could do this more efficiently?
Why are planners (and the public) expected to engage with idealised and unrealistic CGI images of proposed developments that they cannot adjust, interrogate or control?Digitisation would make it possible to view proposed developments in their context, that any user could control and view from any angle..
