In these projects, Bryden Wood strove to understand the clinical practicalities of the hospital, balancing many stakeholder needs.
The goal was to facilitate more efficient planning and operation, as well as to make data available to a wider ecosystem, including all of the people involved in critical infrastructure planning.. Sharp says CDBB knew the desired activity was possible theoretically, but needed a place where there was real demand to bring the information together.When Jack Ricketts contacted her about his desire to digitise planning, it seemed a perfect opportunity..
Stages of information transfer in design and construction.There are various stages of information involved in the creation of a new building, or an extension of a domestic dwelling.Architects produce one set of information to one set of criteria, submitting it to planners who then need another, and particular, set of information.
From there it goes to the people who might approve the building, or the people constructing the building.In reality, though, all of these people just need slightly different slices of the same information.
If everyone could agree and collect information to the same standards, sharing the same pieces of information upon creation, and when changed, it would unblock the system and lead to significantly greater efficiency..
While early BIM slides had a digital thread looping operational data all the way around, in fact there are all sorts of breakpoints.This will allow people to consider individual planning applications in broader contexts – of sustainability or social mobility, say – or understand the trade-offs and implications inherent in making changes to part of a development.
Overall, it will mean the public can form and offer opinions based on rich and contextualised information, rather than on inaccessible and indigestible data and projects in isolation..In other words, it will allow more people to engage in the right way at the right point in the planning process, accessing the right information and able to give the right kind of opinion.. Further, this will enable a holistic view; the ability to consider planning applications in relation to each other, in terms of design etc.
but also in terms of development and other targets, at borough, city, county, or national level..This is about understanding how to take information about one stage of an asset, and make it usable for another stage.
