PRiSM doesn’t aim to displace any existing software, tools or workflows.With all of our Creative Technologies projects and automated design workflows at Bryden Wood, we aim to connect to other pieces of software that may be more proprietary - so that a user can carry on the design process in a more traditional way.
PRiSM is designed to be an additional tool in the kit, one which helps architects and designers do their jobs.It isn’t there to be a threat.It’s a first step towards a digital planning approach.
Aggregating all of these data sets provides more insight into the context in which architects design.At Bryden Wood we want to broaden the conversation about this topic and get more people in the industry talking about these issues..
Exploring the Advantages of Automation in Construction with PRiSM.
The full power and benefits of automation must be recognised.They were overall much smaller than the dominant animals - the dinosaurs - and their size and adaptability is seen as a key feature for their survival and thriving.. Moving away from the natural world into the world designed by Homo sapiens, there is a very different approach to scale.
Things are scaled up and down from the size of a human.Houses and buildings are sized to wrap around humans and floor heights set to allow humans to walk upright.
The first factories were simply extensions on houses and the machines and equipment were generally sized to fit into slightly large rooms.Of course, technology has pushed these boundaries to some degree and there are now large process plants like refineries or mega-factories..
