Exploring the Gaming Consoles - PS5 and Nintendo Switch

It's easy to get defensive when you're being critted because at that time you define yourself through your project (having worked on it consistently for weeks and weeks, often losing sleep to get those drawings finished), but a crit is not there to judge you and your worth but to ultimately make you a better architect.As champions of both company innovation and diversity, Bryden Wood are delighted to have three exceptional team members selected as finalists for the prestigious European Women In Construction and Engineering Awards.

When spending plans came out, much of the narrative was focused on efficiency.There was the first iteration of the National Infrastructure Plan, the Government Construction Strategy and the BIM mandate that followed in 2011.

However, as we’ve progressed, that focus is shifting.It’s no longer a case of trying to do the same things we’ve always done, just more efficiently.We’re interested now in doing new and better things.

We’re starting to ask different questions.How do we drive better performance?

How do we increase value and deliver those broader outcomes?

How do we work with industry, academia and the business community to deliver results?.The full power and benefits of automation must be recognised.

We aren’t only talking about the creation of more ideas and possible solutions in significantly less time, or an increase in metrics leading to more informed decision making overall.It also means that more people can become involved in the decision about which solution is best for a particular site or project.

This increase in participation leads to far greater benefits for the project than just progressing in a very linear way, resulting in one solution produced by a single design team.On top of this, having the ability to generate a data model and undertake significant amounts of simulation, allows aspects of a design to be tested much more rigorously than by traditional means.
