Our PRiSM housing design app is just one such tool.
‘I was always interested in engineering.I was unsure about what type of engineering I wanted to go into, but I kept my options open and looked into all aspects of engineering… The idea of an apprenticeship appealed to me massively because I would be gaining work experience in a subject I enjoy and earning at the same time.’.
Hall spent the first year of his apprenticeship working at Bryden Wood whilst attending Oakwoods college one day per week, completing his PEO in Engineering.Following this, he advanced to study for a Level 3 BTEC in Engineering.At the end of the current academic year, he will move into higher education, working towards a part time degree in Building Services Engineering.
‘At school, I wasn’t in the mindset that I would go on to university, but there are opportunities to go on to university through an apprenticeship.Since starting work at Bryden Wood my mindset has changed and I think I would like to now move on to higher education.’.
Speaking about what initially drew him to Bryden Wood, Charlie enthuses about both the practical advantages (the company is close to his home) and the career development opportunities provided by this unique practice whose core principles and activities so captured his interest.
He was also impressed by the potential for further development.We can then use a range of simulation tools to optimise and refine the design, in order to deliver the best possible solution for a specific site.
We are able to consider a variety of architectural and environmental factors: energy balance, people movements, overshadowing, architectural aesthetics, and placemaking.This gives us much better, and much more considered, designs at site level.. Additionally, our work on REM teaches us that if the algorithm creates an unusual outcome, the solution is to fix the ruleset, not the algorithmic model.
Over time, this creates vastly improved results, as the rules and algorithmic designs get better and better.These results have allowed us to visualise and assess both the risks and opportunities of a smart motorway at the earliest planning stages.
