The Platform approach has been adopted by the Government and is the focus of the Construction Innovation Hub..
This approach has been enormously powerful for our clients: the ability to rapidly assess the viability of sites has saved months of uncertainty and prevented the inefficiency of wasted work.. Configuring Reference Design.The rule and data-led thinking that defines Chips and how they can fit together in a design e.g.
scale, adjacency, proximity etc.lends itself to the use of Configurators, which can be designed by our.Creative Technologies.
team, to automate the design process..This isn’t a necessity – many clients have reported that just the process of defining and writing down their own rules processes is valuable, and the manual test fits are already far quicker than bespoke designs..
However, codifying these rules to drive an algorithmic or computational design process, results in a dramatic increase in the speed and quality of adapting Reference Design to a myriad of constraints and needs.
On our website, for example, you can see.Timber shows its maximum potential if it can be continuously reused at the end of a buildings’ lifecycle.
If it is burnt or sent to landfill it will release CO2 and methane to the atmosphere, losing its properties as a heat sink.In order to enable timber to be continuously reused, the building should be designed for deconstruction.
Most Passivhaus buildings have not been designed for deconstruction in part due the complexity of junctions and the need to achieve the required overlapping and airtightness.This is however possible with the implementation of DfMA which can design assemblies that meet the stringent envelope performance requirements and can also be disassembled..
