Conversion of an existing office tenancy into a new PCR and bloodwork lab.. 1.
Jaimie Johnston MBE., delves into the groundbreaking concepts from our newest book, '.
Platforms in Practice.This isn't just theory; it's the future of building, made real.Discover how Platform II is revolutionising the construction of hospitals, offices, and schools.. With a focus on sustainability, efficiency, and innovation, Platform II is redefining the way buildings are created, aligning with government recommendations and taking giant leaps in productivity and carbon reduction.. From the origins of platform construction to the development of The Forge, the world's first building crafted using P-DfMA, our video takes you on a fascinating journey through industrialised construction techniques.
Platform II proves that endless possibilities can arise from a single kit of parts.. A study, led by Dr Danny Murguia, Research Associate at the Laing O'Rourke Centre for Construction and Technology of the Department of Engineering at the University of Cambridge, shows fantastic potential: doubling programme productivity, slashing embodied carbon by 20%, and reducing construction time by 40%.. Watch our video to see how Platform II is not just a concept, but a reality, paving the way for a more efficient, sustainable, and adaptable future in construction..If you'd also like to continue to learn about our Design to Value approach, DfMA and Industrialised Construction, sign up for our newsletter here:.

- Delve into the intricacies of the 'Platform II' initiative, leveraging the principles of industrial scalability and mass production to advance construction efficiency.. - Decode the influential role of government procurement strategies in catalysing the adoption of platform-based construction models.. - Explore the flexible and forward-thinking design of the Platform II structural system, thoughtfully engineered to accommodate a variety of architectural forms and functional spaces.. - Understand the considerable benefits that come with the adoption of platform methods, including amplified productivity, reduced build times, and a stronger commitment to sustainable construction practices.Working on building sites in my teens I first realised how reductive the project working environment could be.Thanks to her expertise in healthcare architecture, she has primarily focused on refining the internal layout of the hospital, through the ongoing engagement of stakeholders and user groups from Circle hospitals.. Martina has led the team through the construction stage for Circle Birmingham, with a design, management and coordinating role on the project which involves dealing with clients, contractors and external consultants.
She is also involved in the detail design of the hospital’s rehabilitation expansion of the project, overseeing the design process and the interference with the hospital scheme currently on site.. Martina is also involved in Healthcare projects for the MoJ (as part of the current Prisons Estate Transformation Project), and compliance checks for medical facilities in Europe and Asia.Jami leads the ‘Central Logic’ approach at Bryden Wood, and her work sits at the intersection between Architecture,.Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA).
and Digital Innovation.. Jami’s simultaneous involvement with our., Creative Technologies and Integrated Design teams allows her to straddle the virtual and real worlds, and to push the boundaries of traditional architectural design.
