Inefficiency abounds when every building is a prototype and we start from scratch with the design and build process each and every time.
Phil Langley points out that ‘the app encodes... ‘best practice’ design guidance from across the manufacturing and systemisation industry and will be made freely available and open source.’.Jami is also currently working on an Innovate UK funded project for the design configuration of primary schools.
The project is also delivered as an open source, web app and as she says, ‘enables architects, teachers and pupils alike to quickly and easily configure early stage design proposals...’.Digital school models feature ‘clusters’ of rooms, which adhere to Department for Education area/adjacency requirements.The goal is to achieve compliant school design from the outset, whilst simultaneously maintaining flexibility and creativity.. An openness and willingness to share ideas is important to Cresser-Brown, who recognises the unique position the industry currently finds itself in resulting from new digital and manufacturing opportunities.
She expresses a desire to help create a better built environment and enthuses about the fact that both of these existing projects are being released on an open source basis.‘Sharing current thinking and best practices freely,’ she says, ‘is the best way that we can shape the industry as a whole.’.
Bryden Wood’s Head of XR + Interaction, Director Elite Sher, says her focus lies in ‘combining software engineering and design, in innovative and creative applications, using cutting-edge technologies.’.
Sher is a finalist in the ‘Best Woman Software Engineer’ category of the WICE Awards and has an MSc in Adaptive Architecture and Computation from UCL, The Bartlett.This enables a richer level of collaboration, including more advantageous conversations, which can occur earlier in the housing design process than they normally would.. PRiSM & Residential Data.
One of the most important things about PRiSM is the research that sits behind it, achieved through the analysis of literally thousands of London apartments.PRiSM benefits from substantial research into a broad cross-section of residential developments, various typologies, areas and spaces within apartments.
We wanted to understand just how much standardisation was actually taking place.We also wanted to map out all of the different typologies it was possible to build, in order to create a common language with which to talk about housing.
