As a result, the UK government is now looking to double down on the current plan to develop construction Platforms and to make things happen even more quickly.

It seems almost obvious, but because it was a groundbreaking MEP design , we did comprehensive testing and modelling to make sure it would work, using computational fluid dynamics (a digital way of predicting how air will move through a building).GSK – quite rightly – have a very strong Health and Safety culture, so the testing threshold was incredibly high.

But the system passed, we installed it and it’s working very well.. Also in Stevenage, we worked with GSK on the lab grade water system.They had a very large system, which had been put in 20 years ago.They wanted to analyse how much of its capacity was used and when, and what its overall condition was.

We did a full review, which showed that because conditions had changed since it was designed, it was massively oversized, and not fit for purpose anymore.As a result, we've done a feasibility study for abandoning the existing system and putting in several smaller plants.

This would have multiple benefits, not least in saving on expensive pipe work to carry water long distances, because it's such a large site.

But also, the bigger the pipe loop, the more problems you have with water quality.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.
