He starts from the perspective that there is Tradition.
It’s also important to recognise that tools like PRiSM don’t need to limit beauty or individuality in the built environment.We use standardisation like the hidden skeletal bones of a building, but the outer manifestation can be as individual and unique as we are as human beings.. A Helpful Tool for the Wider Design & Construction Industry.
When PRiSM launched, we deliberately described it as a broad but shallow tool.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.Diverse Technological Pathways Required: Decarbonising these sectors demands a range of innovative technologies beyond simple electrification, such as sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) for aviation or carbon capture solutions for cement production, often requiring significant energy inputs.. 3.
Need for Integrated Systemic Solutions:.Investment tends to focus on individual technologies, but the podcast stresses the importance of understanding the ‘network value’ and integration of these solutions within a broader, complex industrial system, rather than viewing them in isolation.. 4.
Governmental Intervention is Essential to Drive Change:.The market alone is unlikely to deliver the necessary speed and scale of decarbonisation in these sectors.
