Creating sustainable data centres.
He advocates for embracing these new technologies to overcome current limitations and transform pharmaceutical manufacturing..The podcast emphasises the urgent need for innovation in pharmaceutical manufacturing to address current challenges and future demands.Last year saw the completion of The Forge in London – the world’s first major commercial building constructed using a platforms approach to DfMA (P-DfMA).
This landmark project is not just a testament to architectural ingenuity but a leap toward a sustainable future, showcasing our commitment to transforming construction and significantly reducing carbon emissions..The Forge - a development of two nine-storey commercial office buildings – is a collaboration between., Bryden Wood as architects and engineers, and the prototyping and fabricating company.
The building’s landmark status comes from the culmination of many years of thinking and development.It delivers a raft of benefits to the built environment and significant reductions in embodied and operational carbon..
Embodied carbon calculations were undertaken by Cundall, on behalf of Landsec.
Cundall updated the calculations at every stage of design, from the Business as Usual (BaU) design in 2018, the incorporation of P-DfMA by Bryden Wood in 2019, through to completion in 2023.The thing that will make the biggest difference at the moment, she says, is the productisation - connecting those products upfront in the platform to provide connectivity for designers and makers.. “And I think that's why what you're doing at Bryden Wood is so cool.
We need to enable a connected ecosystem and a connected tissue between all these foundational products to really make this work.And I see examples of it all the time.”.
Marks talks about the convergence that’s happening between industries, companies, processes and products.The world is getting smaller than it ever was before, she says, and it’s creating greater opportunity.
