Essentially, whenever there is a desired result, there’s a process which must be implemented to achieve it.. For example, in airports, passengers must move through a system of check-in, security and boarding, before they’re able to fly.
Discover how Platform II is revolutionising the construction of hospitals, offices, and schools.. With a focus on sustainability, efficiency, and innovation, Platform II is redefining the way buildings are created, aligning with government recommendations and taking giant leaps in productivity and carbon reduction.. From the origins of platform construction to the development of The Forge, the world's first building crafted using P-DfMA, our video takes you on a fascinating journey through industrialised construction techniques.Platform II proves that endless possibilities can arise from a single kit of parts.. A study, led by Dr Danny Murguia, Research Associate at the Laing O'Rourke Centre for Construction and Technology of the Department of Engineering at the University of Cambridge, shows fantastic potential: doubling programme productivity, slashing embodied carbon by 20%, and reducing construction time by 40%.. Watch our video to see how Platform II is not just a concept, but a reality, paving the way for a more efficient, sustainable, and adaptable future in construction..

Of course, I would not have used the word reductive maybe “this just doesn’t make any sense”.For I could sense, even at a young age, that the people doing the work felt no connection to any purpose or larger endeavour..
I could have put this down to the construction industry, a much-maligned industry, however as I began my career through the food and pharmaceutical industries I began to realise that much of business and society is hampered by the same reductive thinking which comes with an amnesia of purpose and a huge loss of value.
The approaches and attitudes of the last century, which we were all part of, have led us to a point of crisis.. As I studied and researched systems thinking, and psychological understanding and analysed great stories of achievement I found evidence of how shared purpose and joined-up, holistic approaches yield better, maybe exquisite, outcomes on every level; individual, team, company, society, eco-system and planet.. At this point in human history I will argue that we have all the technology or technological development capability we need to solve our problems, what we lack is a scale of vision and connected approaches.With his extensive knowledge of DfMA, BIM and Engineering, Ionut is well-equipped to take on even the most complex building projects with confidence and efficiency.Adam joined Bryden Wood in 2006 having previously worked for architectural firms in Australia..
Initially at Bryden Wood he worked on a range of projects across the office before focusing on the delivery of Phase 6 and 7 of the Igus Factory in Cologne.After assisting in the development of a pre-fabricated node module for Heathrow Terminal 5, he took on a new role in the company developing innovative design solutions utilising BIM and.
Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA).As part of this role Adam was involved in the design and construction of the EcoCanopy modular school system..
