P-DfMA: designing to zero carbon in use
This is most easily achieved by reusing existing building stock.
can be leveraged based on experience and knowledge of local markets, and often challenge our partners to question what is possible.. Scalability made simple:.Our approach is to dismantle a process rigorously in order to analyse and optimise every single component, and then combine these into a repeatable, scalable solution.
Digital tools enable us to experiment with a huge number of permutations of components; introducing variables, then measuring, iterating, and refining.This approach ensures maximum flexibility with significant cost and time benefits.Together with Martin Wood, Mark founded Bryden Wood Associates in February 1995.. From 1984-95 Mark had worked with Nicholas Grimshaw's on a collection of the UK’s most influential buildings, a number having become iconic examples of the ‘Hi-tech’ movement.The 90’s saw significant change in the design and construction industry with the widespread adoption of computer aided design and methods of construction that are now commonplace..
Since 1995, Bryden Wood have sought to maintain and enhance the aspects of the architecture profession that the partners perceived as under threat from commercial pressures, and the emasculation of the profession’s status from overall design led to an aesthetic and often ‘style’ based service.They sought to exemplify the intimate understanding of the construction process, material and detailing whilst enhancing the strategic qualities that were historically essential in the architect’s role as lead consultant.
Mark adjusted his focus away from developing a ‘brand-defining’ portfolio of work - that may sometimes be at the expense of the client - to a primary concern in providing the optimum solution.. Bryden Wood has evolved into a 300+ strong.
, engineering and integrated design company whose activities span from analysis and business strategy through architecture and engineering.Need for Sophisticated Energy Debate:.
The current public and political discourse surrounding energy is often oversimplified and influenced by commercial lobbying.. A more sophisticated, collaborative, and centrally informed debate is needed to make effective long-term decisions about investment and decarbonisation strategies.Learn more about our.
