She joined Bryden Wood shortly thereafter and now returns to her alma mater to help crit the next generation of architects.We caught up with her to find out about her involvement in the Westminster program as well as to get her take on what young architects can learn from this seemingly daunting practice.. BW: How did you get involved with the University of Westminster's crit program and what do you enjoy about being involved?.

M: As I studied at Westminster for both my undergraduate and postgraduate degree, I have come to know some of the tutors quite well.On top of this, when studying for my Masters degree, I worked as a PAL (Peer Assisted Learning) assistant for undergraduate students.This is a new initiative set up by Westminster, which involves older students helping teach the younger ones.

I assisted in sketching workshops, tutorials, formal reviews as well as crits and certain presentations for year 1 undergraduate architecture and interior architecture students.As a result of my experience, I have on two occasions since graduating been asked to help out at crits as part of the panel.

I really enjoy the experience and am very grateful to be given the opportunity to attend.

Even though I am there to help the students, I don't think it is only about them benefiting from the experience.Creating this model in a simulation tool would require defining individual assembly sequences and required resources at each step, the resources available and, depending on the requirements of the project, component stock, transport, and necessary aspects of the supply chain.

When the model is run, the simulation engine dynamically uses resources and components to complete the tasks and the model statistics derived could indicate how both individual processes, and the system, would perform..Ultimately this also allows for modelling flexibility as operations sequences, rules and resource information can be loaded from external files and changed dynamically during model runtime.

Similarly, the highly visual nature of these tools can provide direct feedback to users while the simulation is running, or export data which can then be visualised in another tool (such as Tableau or Power BI).Analysing this data can then help not only to understand how a supply chain or site might perform, but also to anticipate bottlenecks early and mitigate them.
