The government is now actively working with industry to make sure new policies can be implemented.
PRiSM offers us a glimpse of what is possible.It opens up our imaginations.. Digital Construction App Broadens User Understanding and Drives Value.
Rather than creating PDF documentation about MMC processes and their benefits for housing design, we wanted PRiSM to aid understanding of core MMC techniques more directly.The app exposes spatial planning rules and MMC design rules to the users, which leads to greater understanding and ultimately accelerates PMH design.By eliminating the need for the type of specialist knowledge which typically surrounds MMC, the app fosters accessibility for a broad range of users with an interest in residential architecture.
It brings transparency to manufacturing-based construction methodologies and makes the entire process of housing design more efficient and predictable.PRiSM makes it easier to assess the feasibility of projects.. As an educational tool, PRiSM helps designers to understand PMH better.
In an effort to reach the widest possible audience and create the biggest benefits for the industry, we’ve made the app open-source and free to use.
PRiSM makes it possible for developers, local authorities, housing associations, architects and manufacturers to design housing solutions very quickly.THE BRYDEN WOOD PERSPECTIVE: PAUL O'NEILL.
When embarking on the project to reimagine and develop the building into Great Western Studios, we knew ‘the constraints of the build would be its making,’ says Bryden Wood Board Director, Architecture,.The aim was to create a great building that would respond to its context/environment and that is certainly what Bryden Wood have achieved.
The initial challenges posed by the building’s proximity to the Westway and Grand Union canal, as well as the limited site space for construction, have birthed a space of both aesthetic and functional dynamic, equally capable of fulfilling its practical goal of providing creative office spaces to West London creative businesses..According to O’Neill, the biggest challenge of the project was the building of phase 2 over the fully occupied, existing (phase 1) building.
