A few years ago, we had only very basic computer modelling to help us understand what to expect from a building’s energy performance.
Barriers and opportunities for change:.Finally, Adrian discusses the systemic and regulatory barriers to adopting these new manufacturing technologies but also highlights the compelling need for change driven by the demand for affordable, sustainable medicines.
He advocates for embracing these new technologies to overcome current limitations and transform pharmaceutical manufacturing..The podcast emphasises the urgent need for innovation in pharmaceutical manufacturing to address current challenges and future demands.Last year saw the completion of The Forge in London – the world’s first major commercial building constructed using a platforms approach to DfMA (P-DfMA).This landmark project is not just a testament to architectural ingenuity but a leap toward a sustainable future, showcasing our commitment to transforming construction and significantly reducing carbon emissions..
The Forge - a development of two nine-storey commercial office buildings – is a collaboration between., Bryden Wood as architects and engineers, and the prototyping and fabricating company.
The building’s landmark status comes from the culmination of many years of thinking and development.
It delivers a raft of benefits to the built environment and significant reductions in embodied and operational carbon..They want to create an industry.
They’re bringing in young people and technology, Marks says..However, regardless of the country, there are a few elements needed to make the shift to industrialised construction work: purpose, government support, academia, the involvement of young people, training, and complementary parts of the ecosystem - including industry and finance.. Education is a hugely important factor and Amy Marks has now written an eight-week course curriculum for Columbia University.
It covers not only prefab but other industrialised construction topics such as how to look at MEP assemblies, manufacturing, automation, robotics, machine learning, AI, and construction platforms.It’s unlike any other course in the world, and that’s the problem, Marks says.
