One of the key challenges we need to address in our quest for a sustainable future, is to align the various forms of guidance and advice coming into the industry from different sources.
The ‘local’ design is then focused on ground conditions, utilities, infrastructure, placemaking, flows of people etc..Figure 2 Example configurations of healthcare Chips.
Read more about our.methodology here.. We introduced this concept to the New Hospitals Programme, developing the initial ‘Hospital 2.0’ solution.While this has since evolved, the use of a Reference Design continues to be a central part of their strategy to deliver schemes across the UK..
In addition to the public sector health and custodial programmers, we are currently deploying Reference Design and Chip Thinking across the private sector, particularly in the.data centre market.
and for logistics and fulfillment centers..
The benefits of using a Reference Design even with a traditional supply chain.There's a difference.
And I think we have to quickly almost leapfrog over fabrication to productisation.”.Marks says that productisation will free architects, empowering them to be “the true architects of the parameters, of the combination, of those elements.”.
Additionally, she adds, given that not everything warrants productisation, architects will be able to spend more time doing the work they came into the industry to do - the more artistic work, and the work more specifically related to the end-user experience.. Jaimie Johnston agrees there’s a massive opportunity on offer for designers with industrialised construction.. “The people who write the standards don't necessarily understand the implications; clients want the value, but don't know how to do it; product producers have no product know-how to make the bits.It should be the designers that are stitching all those bits together, understanding those standards, understanding what's available.
