/m², good practice would be below 970kgCO.
This will also mean the capital cost should come down and certainly the running costs will decrease.Ultimately, you will have a happy client who won’t have to pay as much to run the building every year.With the Circle Reading project, architects Bryden Wood have employed a design ethic powered by both clinical practicality and build efficiency, delivering a hospital not only visually distinctive, but one which utilises insightful, use-driven design and cutting edge manufacturing processes.
It’s a space which continually upends expectations - a structure of steel and concrete, much of which was built offsite..The achievement has been made possible by the implementation of a bespoke Design for Manufacture and Assembly system, which Bryden Wood developed in conjunction with Circle and tailored specifically for their needs.Ultimately, the system played a key role in the creation of Adaptable Platforms.
which Board Director Jaimie Johnston says, ‘allows a far wider range of clients to get the same benefits without the need to create a new system.’.Speaking about the innovative qualities of the Circle project, Co-Founder Martin Wood comments that Circle Reading was the first exercise to really connect design and construction in such an intimate way.
‘The platform principle completely enshrines design and construction as a single entity,’ he says.
‘It’s effectively a way of thinking, a principle where the rationale in design supports the rationale in construction in a fully unified, virtuous circle effect.’.- Head of Global Systems at Bryden Wood.. Over twenty years ago, the Queen of Prefab, Amy Marks found herself talking to the C-Suite of one of the biggest contractors in the world.. She said, “I can show you a way that you can do more, with less people on the job site, and make these jobs shorter.”.
The CEO responded, “Why would we want to do that?That's where we make all our money.”.
Now, Marks says, everything is changing.That sort of behaviour and thought process isn’t really acceptable anymore.
