Platforms at the Forge - delivering results with P-DfMA

One of the core issues we’re trying to tackle with sustainable design revolves around carbon.

Rubel’s insights into Forsight Digital's methodologies demonstrate how data can guide the planning and programming of healthcare facilities, leading to more efficient and effective hospital designs.. 3.Evolving trends in hospital design through evidence-based approach:.

Both Zig Rubel and host.Jaimie Johnston MBE.discuss the importance of evidence-based design in hospital construction.

Their experiences underline the necessity of using concrete data and research to inform decisions, ensuring that hospital environments are not only aesthetically pleasing but also functionally efficient.. 4.Integrated Project Delivery in Hospital Construction:.

Zig's contribution to the American Institute of Architects guide for Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) is particularly relevant for hospital design and construction.

This approach fosters collaboration among all stakeholders from the early stages of a project, leading to more cohesive and streamlined construction processes.. 5.These aren’t typically available in our sector so the use of AI in construction has been somewhat limited by that.

Examples of AI are often narrowly defined and only really touch a very specific part of the overall process; the part for which large data sets do exist.. ‘Generative design’ means many things, but generally it’s an approach used in the industry to solve complicated problems; you use generative design to create loads of possible solutions or scenarios, from which you choose the best..The Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) approach that we have in Bryden Wood – which is embedded in Creative Technologies – means that something like generative design can be more powerful, as it can be built around design rules and content that’s inherently more clearly defined..

When people in the industry talk about cutting-edge construction technologies, these are usually buzzwords about things that are not widely in use, generally misunderstood and unlikely ever to deliver the advertised benefits – because they’re not appropriate solutions and our industry is too far from ready.It’s good that people talk about construction tech – that creates an environment broadly open to tech – but that’s not the same as being able to actually use it..
