In order to improve indoor air quality and reduce the likelihood of pathogens, fresh air rates need to be increased and air filters should be installed.

We're not enabling productisation.There's a difference.

And I think we have to quickly almost leapfrog over fabrication to productisation.”.Marks says that productisation will free architects, empowering them to be “the true architects of the parameters, of the combination, of those elements.”.Additionally, she adds, given that not everything warrants productisation, architects will be able to spend more time doing the work they came into the industry to do - the more artistic work, and the work more specifically related to the end-user experience.. Jaimie Johnston agrees there’s a massive opportunity on offer for designers with industrialised construction.. “The people who write the standards don't necessarily understand the implications; clients want the value, but don't know how to do it; product producers have no product know-how to make the bits.

It should be the designers that are stitching all those bits together, understanding those standards, understanding what's available.That's a massive role.

It's a very interesting role,” he says..

Still, Johnston acknowledges that the design community is currently meeting the idea of DfMA with more fear than excitement.. “The old cookie-cutter buildings get trotted out as a reason not to do DfMA,” he says.She has also experience in modular construction, particularly in the student accommodation market and the great benefits this brings in this regard..

Her roles over the years include being a team lead on many multi-disciplinary projects from conception to completion.Values of these projects range from small school projects (values circa £5m) through to larger retail projects (values circa £120m).

This demands close working relationships with all members of the Design team and Clients ensuring collaboration and coordination is maintained throughout the design process and beyond.As part of her experience on larger projects, she is fully conversant with the.
