This Reference Design can then be built again and again as a fixed product, by clients who have control over site conditions, as per the MoJ Houseblocks..

It’s really about individual value drivers and these vary from client to client depending on their needs.. “Construction too easily gets into the solutions mode,” he says, “and starts thinking of the solution before answering the question.”.Amy Marks says she worked with a technology client earlier in her career, who wasn’t at all interested in having his project finish sooner.

However, certainty surrounding the duration of the schedule was very important to him..This is a value-driver that is well known to Johnston, as a result of Bryden Wood’s work within the.pharmaceutical industry.

With pharmaceutical plant design and build, the business aim is to start manufacturing as soon as drug approvals are received, which maximises both health benefits for patients in need, and monetary benefits for the company.Completing the build early is undesirable, as it results in the asset sitting empty.. It’s all about working out what’s most important, Marks says.

Clients can’t have everything, but they also don’t need everything.. “They just want something of value,” she says, “that you understand, and that they understand is of value.”.

The construction eco-system and the impact on value.I assisted in sketching workshops, tutorials, formal reviews as well as crits and certain presentations for year 1 undergraduate architecture and interior architecture students.

As a result of my experience, I have on two occasions since graduating been asked to help out at crits as part of the panel.I really enjoy the experience and am very grateful to be given the opportunity to attend.

Even though I am there to help the students, I don't think it is only about them benefiting from the experience.I believe it is hugely important for architects to stay involved in architectural education, not only in order to help tutor the next generation of architects, but also to take inspiration, ideas and thought processes from student work back into real world practice.
