This approach informs projects ranging from data centres to healthcare facilities, proving the value of holistic and strategic design thinking.. 2.Breaking down silos in architecture and engineering.
Martin highlights the importance of integrating multidisciplinary expertise within Bryden Wood to regain control over the design process.By bringing architects, engineers, coders, and data analysts together under one roof, Bryden Wood fosters collaboration and innovation, streamlining the development of high-value solutions.. 3.Challenging the client brief for better outcomes.
A recurring theme is Bryden Wood’s practice of questioning and refining client briefs.Martin illustrates this with examples like GlaxoSmithKline’s facility, where focusing on outcomes rather than assumptions led to more strategic and impactful decisions.. 4.
Innovating in high-stakes environments.
Martin recounts how projects with pressing needs, such as reconfiguring Heathrow Airport's passenger transit system post-9/11, often act as crucibles for innovation.This will also simplify the work, reduce the number of site operatives needed and the level of experience required.
This will in turn reduce frustration on site and, ultimately, change the way people work in the construction industry to make it more attractive to the next generation.. 4.IPD removes misunderstandings and tensions between designer and constructor.
