In other words, we create a virtuous circle of benefit.. What is the future of the construction industry?.
In the Creative Technologies team at Bryden Wood, we’ve been working for some time with Highways England on smart motorways.We developed our Rapid Engineering Model, or REM – a digital workflow that absorbs a huge range of data sets and design rules and generates a variety of outputs.
These outputs – including virtual reality motorway driving – allow us to visualise and assess risks and opportunities of a smart motorway at the earliest planning stages.It takes a few days to do what used to take months..This approach – harnessing wide-ranging data, applying it creatively, iterating rapidly – can be applied in any number of other contexts, and we are currently working on several initiatives that need rapid implementation in the post-COVID world.
Watch this space.. It’s all about agility; the ability to plan and respond to changing circumstances in complex situations.But agility can’t simply be reactive.
We have to design it into our built environment.
Future-proofing is no longer about thinking how we might repurpose a building in twenty years’ time.We believe the design and construction industry needs to change and find new, sustainable, high quality and cost effective solutions for our towns and cities.
Our architects and engineers are driven to create a highly productive, digitally-led industry, which improves the sustainability, efficiency and aesthetic quality of all aspects of the built environment.The ensuing benefit lowers the financial and carbon cost of assets to business and society.
It is for this reason, we’re delighted to join a coalition of leading industry professionals who have contributed to a new guide and primer illustrating how the industry can work together and address the climate emergency..The Climate Emergency Design Guide.
