This is in large part due to the climate emergency and our need to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050.
Streamlined design and construction.Reference Design.
facilitates industrialised construction, including.platform approaches (P-DfMA).and manufactured elements.
It allows clients to maintain control over intellectual property and incorporate lessons learned to improve design cycles.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.The current, alarming, lack of collection by architects of real-life data on the impact of their schemes suggests that this societal feedback loop is not necessarily being designed into future schemes..
Within a wider context, the construction industry itself is fundamental to the implementation of these social values.It is central to the delivery of places in which people live, work and socialise, in addition to the connections between these places and communities.
