Host a widely distributed network of suppliers, from major materials suppliers to specialist SMEs.
However, he emphasises that the core value of architectural education lies in teaching critical thinking and problem-solving skills rather than specific technical knowledge.. 5.Communication and language in architecture.
Randy highlights the importance of effective communication and storytelling in architecture, drawing from his background in playwriting.He discusses how terminology (like AI, MMC, DfMA) can be both important for precision but also potentially confusing, emphasising the need to understand context and underlying meanings rather than getting caught up in exact definitions..Learn more about our approach to architectural design.At Bryden Wood, we strive to create exceptional design solutions that deliver better value for clients and a better built environment for society.
Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) has long been part of our philosophy and it is exciting to see an increasing focus on DfMA in the construction industry around the world.My recent article.
“Construction Platforms for Asia: Thoughts on the DfMA Journey in Asia-Pacific”.
discussed some recent developments in my region but the interest in using DfMA on construction projects to drive benefits related to cost and programme, quality, productivity, health and safety and sustainability is growing worldwide.. As DfMA grows from a niche topic into a mainstream conversation in the construction industry, more and more government and private sector stakeholders are getting involved developing strategies and finding opportunities.In this context, generative design means using computers to assemble designs based on a set of rules, components and input parameters.
We generate very large numbers of options for a particular design requirement, and then get humans back in to look at those critically.. We can generate many more options using automation.Sometimes we find something which human expertise has not spotted.
Generative design can create unexpected options with high value.. We are now working on making Chips available to very large numbers of users through a web interface, to use generative design for pharmaceutical plants.We are also associating process simulation data with those Chips, so that we can look at throughput, and use throughput to define what Chips we need..
