Digital tools and spatial analysis are strongly linked; it is through the spatial analysis work that we have derived the rules that underpin our configurators.
People need to better understand the practical impact of their design decisions in the field.For example, why detailing doesn’t quite fit when a worker is sitting at a boom lift nine metres off the ground and drops the spanner.
This is how the power of kit-of-parts thinking begins to tie in with everything else.If engineers and architects would go back to construction sites out of sheer interest, Lamont says, we could get back to the beginning of what we’re doing and achieve more human results.Ultimately, it’s a focus on connection and humanity that will facilitate the great unlock for the construction industry..

http://bit.ly/BWNewsUpdatesTo stop the worst scenarios from materialising, we need to decarbonise electricity and heat production.To help do that, we must address the future of coal.
At Bryden Wood, we are working with.
, a non-profit organisation focused on action for climate and prosperity, on a major initiative: Repurposing Coal.So they commissioned a US company called Brooks to design a robot that could collect samples and deliver them to the scientist, in a way that’s a bit like a vending machine.
Our challenge was to design and build the building around the robot system which was a world first and still in development.. Additionally, the way Bryden Wood have designed the extraction systems is a UK - and probably world first.Because these rooms are highly hazardous, the air change rate must be high in volume, but it must also be at low level physically.
In every other facility I know of, extracting at low level is done with ductwork.It's inefficient because you can only put ductwork in certain areas, as people cannot be required to step over it as they move around the space.
