This demonstrates a consistency of thinking which should be quite reassuring.

It contributes to overall better design and allows designers to focus more of their efforts on solving the specific challenges relating to a particular site and context.Standardised solutions lend themselves to efficiencies in construction and the application of DfMA.

Operational benefits.Standardised solutions facilitate efficient operation and maintenance, as well as aiding staff and prisoner wayfinding and navigation.. A developmental process, an evidence-based approach.Bryden Wood had been working with MoJ since 2011, when we helped developed their BIM Implementation Plan.

We went on to join the MoJ’s multi-disciplinary designer framework in 2014 and, before PETP, developed a ‘proof of concept’ for the application of DfMA to the custodial estate..In February 2016, at the beginning of PETP, we conducted research into the aspects of design that can help influence rehabilitative outcomes.

The huge stakeholder engagement effort that informed the new prison design was the biggest piece of research ever undertaken by the department into the effectiveness of prison design and building use.

This is a very good example of how evidence underpins our approach to design.. Stakeholders and sources of evidence included:.This new API (active pharmaceutical ingredient) manufacturing plant is a flagship facility for Pfizer’s regional network, a $1bn SGD investment covering almost 430,000 square feet and delivered entirely during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The facility needed to represent best practice in GMP (good manufacturing practice) and digital automation while remaining cost effective to build and operate.. Bryden Wood was engaged to review and optimise a previously developed concept design for the site’s dry processing (milling and sieving) building.We worked closely with client stakeholders to analyse the root process requirements, identify over-provisions in the proposed design, and consolidate production onto less equipment.. Capturing these root requirements in 3D digital models called.

“Chips” (sets of interacting components.allowed us to rapidly evaluate a wide range of configuration options with client stakeholders engaged every step of the way..
