This gives us much better, and much more considered, designs at site level.. Additionally, our work on REM teaches us that if the algorithm creates an unusual outcome, the solution is to fix the ruleset, not the algorithmic model.
As mentioned, by including M&E engineers within the integrated project team from the very earliest stages, and throughout, we achieve significant benefits..While the Forge is the first of its kind and setting new standards, the underlying DfMA principles underpin all our M&E design work at Bryden Wood.. DfMA adds exceptional value for our M&E clients.Martin Wood and Mark Bryden discuss the origins, growth and future of Bryden Wood, as the company reaches 25 years.Click the 'play button' above to listen to the episode, or read our 5 Key Takeaways from this episode below.... 1.
The philosophy of 'Design to Value'.Martin shares how Bryden Wood's foundational philosophy, 'Design to Value,' emphasises optimising efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and client outcomes rather than focusing purely on aesthetics.This approach informs projects ranging from data centres to healthcare facilities, proving the value of holistic and strategic design thinking.. 2.
Breaking down silos in architecture and engineering.Martin highlights the importance of integrating multidisciplinary expertise within Bryden Wood to regain control over the design process.
By bringing architects, engineers, coders, and data analysts together under one roof, Bryden Wood fosters collaboration and innovation, streamlining the development of high-value solutions.. 3.
Challenging the client brief for better outcomes.Through global interviews a team sought to discover, in a life-or-death situation, who people would prioritise to save.
Was it the young, the old, the fit, the lawful, humans over animals?The idea was to investigate the embedded moral decisions made by autonomous cars in dangerous situations.
The results are interesting in that they showed, unsurprisingly that different individuals and cultures gave different responses.Whose do we use?
