Operating in this current state, the construction industry simply can’t meet the needs of the future.
We are now using chips as the basis of generative designs to allow us to automate the design process.In this context, generative design means using computers to assemble designs based on a set of rules, components and input parameters.
We generate very large numbers of options for a particular design requirement, and then get humans back in to look at those critically.. We can generate many more options using automation.Sometimes we find something which human expertise has not spotted.Generative design can create unexpected options with high value.. We are now working on making Chips available to very large numbers of users through a web interface, to use generative design for pharmaceutical plants.
We are also associating process simulation data with those Chips, so that we can look at throughput, and use throughput to define what Chips we need..The Chip as future enabler.
We are often asked what ‘Chip’ stands for.
It doesn't stand for anything.We must allow the manufacture and assembly process to drive the way we design the asset in the first place, as well as the way we engage the client and the supply chain..
Integrated design.Much of the industry’s current difficulty arises from the fact that few people can see the entire process through from end-to-end.
At Bryden Wood we have, over time, developed a cross-disciplinary approach in response to this reality and the need to design towards the process – to rationalise, coordinate and develop a fully integrated design solution.Our team includes technologists, designers, architects, engineers and analysts, because it’s vital that we apply these new principles throughout.
