Pharma’s Conundrum Part 2: Ensuring Value Through Integrated Project Delivery
Construction technology: Building with agility and building agility in.
It’s about being a good engineer.'.MARTINA CARDI, ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR, ARCHITECTURE.
'At Bryden Wood, it’s all about the role you have in the project and not whether you are a woman or not.Overall in the office, it’s still probably more men, especially when you look at all the disciplines, but when you look at the architectural team we are completely balanced....If you are a young woman starting out in architecture, being a woman shouldn’t stop you from pursuing your career.
It’s exciting and very creative.In this office, we get to do so many different things and work on so many different types of buildings.’.
* - Bryden Wood's female architects make up 54% of the architectural team, which is significantly higher than the Architects' Journal stats for AJ100 practices in 2019, which states the average to be 34%.
Bryden Wood's female engineers make up 14% of the team, which is higher than the Women's Engineering Society's stats for 2018, which gives a figure of 12.37% female engineers in the UKSustainability has long been an integral part of our design approach.Build Nothing: identify opportunities to reuse existing structures, refurbish and reuse demolition materials onsite.
Build Less: optimise the building’s form, structure, structural grid, WWR and DfMA components; recommend the use of durable materials, design-out basements and false ceilings (exposed soffit); design spaces which are adaptable and can be easily deconstructed..Build Clever: specify low carbon materials with a focus on the recycled content of steel and concrete and the use of timber; maximise the recycled content of finishes, use reclaimed floors and explore system’s rental; where possible use low GWP refrigerants and avoid VRF systems..
Build Efficiently: implement innovative construction strategies such as Modern methods of Construction (MMC) and use a DfMA approach to reduce waste onsite..Offset: Any remaining carbon should be offset via recognised carbon offset schemes.
