That's so good.”.
However, we know that the systematisation of methods, super-charged with developments in creative technologies, is a proven way to exponentially industrialise, as it has in the last 100 years.Approaches which modularise process plants and utilities move construction techniques into mass production techniques.
Building platforms move us away from bespoke design and delivery into repeatable, lean methods of construction.Approaches to standardisation and mass-customisation allow us to adapt solutions to the real world while protecting and massively improving productivity.These approaches are already being explored and applied across sectors.. We also know that we can achieve industrialisation within the context of a cherished natural world if we have the intent and the imagination..
So, curiosity led me to a degree of anxiety at the size of task which confronts us, while also giving me flickers of hope that we have done, and can do, extraordinary things.We need that hope and the energy that curiosity brings to imagine and realise the solutions..
Professor John Dyson spent more than 25 years at GlaxoSmithKline, eventually ending his career as VP, Head of Capital Strategy and Design, where he focussed on developing a long-term strategic approach to asset management..
While there, he engaged Bryden Wood and together they developed the Front End Factory, a collaborative endeavour to explore how to turn purpose and strategy into the right projects – which paved the way for Design to Value.In other words, we create a virtuous circle of benefit.. What is the future of the construction industry?.
Ultimately, we suspect that over time buildings will become flexible configurations of components, rather than large, fixed assets.We may end up creating loose-fit superstructures.
The superstructure contains the majority of the embodied carbon in a building.We could design these for a 100-year total life span, while the use of standardised components would make an interior refit possible every five to ten years.
