Sitting with the client and asking questions forms the basis of every project that follows a Design to Value approach.
This variety of uses demonstrates the broad capabilities of these digital design tools, which are beneficial not only for buildings, but also for linear infrastructure on a greater, geospatial, country-wide level.. Our experience here tells us that rather than designing things from scratch in the future, more and more work will be done using algorithmic design.For example, PRiSM allows us to generate a design very quickly.
We can then use a range of simulation tools to optimise and refine the design, in order to deliver the best possible solution for a specific site.We are able to consider a variety of architectural and environmental factors: energy balance, people movements, overshadowing, architectural aesthetics, and placemaking.This gives us much better, and much more considered, designs at site level.. Additionally, our work on REM teaches us that if the algorithm creates an unusual outcome, the solution is to fix the ruleset, not the algorithmic model.
Over time, this creates vastly improved results, as the rules and algorithmic designs get better and better.These results have allowed us to visualise and assess both the risks and opportunities of a smart motorway at the earliest planning stages.
Consequently, it now takes a few days to do what used to take months..
Eventually, we believe these design apps will start to link up and talk to each other, forming a linked digital ecosystem.Our M&E engineers work alongside architects and other disciplines in highly collaborative project teams, from the earliest stages and through projects, meaning that M&E building services are never an afterthought or an add-on.
DfMA works best with tight coordination between disciplines – standardisation and innovation do not recognise traditional professional boundaries and value comes in many forms.. We know from extensive experience as M&E consultants and engineers that an integrated approach brings the best results.. Our approach to DfMA has delivered proven results in our M&E services work on.pharmaceutical facilities.
M&E systems and the platform approach to DfMA.Our platform approach to Design for Manufacture and Assembly (P-DfMA) takes DfMA even further.
