Scale fail: when modelling is crucial (and surprising) | The Dyson Blog
With this innovative project we’re witnessing years of development work coming to fruition, which is better enabling us to understand both the challenges and the benefits of this new process on a deeper level..
They're used in different ways at different stages of a project, or in different ways by different users within a project..The data structures that we build around Chips allow data to be aggregated between different levels.. We can associate any type of data with a Chip.
Conventional engineering data is perhaps the most obvious, but we also include data like staffing levels, containment requirements, power consumption, or even the level of design uncertainty.This allows for visualisation of different issues within a project..It's important that when we define chips, we don't leave gaps.
We aim to capture everything: the building, the equipment, operations, software, hazards, quality requirements, whatever is important in that system.At the point of inquiry, we are trying to get that information loaded into that Chip..
When we are creating plans, we like to work in three dimensions from the very early part of the project.
Chips help speed up the process, because we can move chunks of the design around very quickly and keep data associated with them.Healthy architecture and design for wellbeing in healthcare buildings.
Bryden Wood designed Circle Reading Hospital and Circle Birmingham Hospital, and collaborates closely with NHS England.Our primary focus in healthcare projects is to adopt the principles of healthy architecture in order to improve the quality of the user experience for patients and staff.
Hospitals are places to heal and recover, and the design of the building is paramount in supporting this.. As part of our recent involvement in healthcare design, we analysed the performance of typical ward layouts in terms of daylight quality and opportunities for views out:.• Inboard design: rooms facing the corridor with toilets in the facade.
