The project is also delivered as an open source, web app and as she says, ‘enables architects, teachers and pupils alike to quickly and easily configure early stage design proposals...’.

It didn’t develop the design for you, but it had lots of applications.Architects can use PRiSM to learn more about PMH techniques, including their rules, opportunities and constraints.

Local authorities, housing associations and developers can use the app to drive standardisation across their estates, using a pattern book of apartments to deliver projects more efficiently, and achieving benefits like standardised maintenance regimes.Manufacturers benefit from learning more about the types of buildings architects working with MMC techniques can design.Contractors can use the app to validate designs and rebuild an architect’s work very quickly.

PRiSM can also be used to model schemes for a tender, investigating how much module variation exists within a volumetric modular scheme, for example.. PRiSM 2.0: The Addition of Geospatial Data Layers.In 2020, Bryden Wood launched PRiSM 2.0, providing more granular control to the user.

We increased the typologies contained within the app and expanded the pattern book of apartments to provide additional variety.

We increased design freedom, giving users the ability to do things like reposition entrances in order to better respond to a site.. One of the biggest additions came with the introduction of geospatial data layers, which provide better understanding of the context around a site.Rebuilding for a Resilient Future:.

The goal extends beyond simply replacing what was lost; it's an opportunity to build back better, creating more resilient infrastructure, sustainable communities, and a modern, forward-looking Ukraine through innovative design and strategic planning.. Watch Navigating the Energy Debate: Challenges and Solutions with Martin Wood, Adrian La Porta and John Dyson.If we had to crystallize to an extractable conclusion from this fascinating discussion, it would be that clear regulation and guidance, with clarity about the long-term evolving economics and more deliberate and extensive collaboration are what will most strongly drive and facilitate industry to address the solvent dilemma..When you bring knowledgeable and thoughtful people together to address a problem there is a strongly perceived risk.

That is the risk of just further discussion, just more circular arguments, just more vacillation and no action.How valuable will it be?
