We increased design freedom, giving users the ability to do things like reposition entrances in order to better respond to a site.. One of the biggest additions came with the introduction of geospatial data layers, which provide better understanding of the context around a site.This includes things like building heights, land classifications which reference conservation areas, transport infrastructure to gauge density more appropriately, highways information, which has a bearing on construction access restrictions, and even types of trees..
In future, we hope to develop the app even further, to include elements like early stage embodied carbon assessment capability as well as expanding PRiSM’s geographical footprint which would require incorporating even more typologies.Developing versions for other cities is also a possibility.. A Step Towards a Truly Digital Planning Approach.One thing we won’t do with PRiSM is duplicate functionality which already exists elsewhere.
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.Greater public awareness may help to reduce some of this wastage through a reduction in demand..
Looking forward, there is a growing dilemma that new modalities may increase the diversity of solvents – acetonitrile, for example, may be of particular concern.The good news is that there is already some strategic collaboration happening in these areas.. As many new medicines are developed by start-ups, if we can ensure good guidance and information then we can get things right from the start.
There are already collaborative groupings of start-ups, and linking these with the information flow on alternatives and economics could be highly beneficial..The group agreed that framing the driver for change around waste reduction and sustainable economics, together with greater public and business awareness and, would help to push the agenda in the right direction.. Regulators and regulations can be enablers for change, rather than inertial.
