Our Fall Mudroom

This could be a real opportunity, if we can join up a few different elements.. With BIM Pro we saw the need to go out and engage with foreign governments, forming a community to promote an approach and process which drives better delivery.

To address these issues and to connect robotic technology to Bryden Wood’s ‘Platform Approach’ to Design for Manufacture and Assembly (P-DfMA), our Creative Technologies team has developed F.R.A.C.– a Framework for Robotics and Automated Construction.. F.R.A.C.

provides an open, extensible and collaborative platform that enables all designers – not only specialists – to engage with robotic technologies and to embed digital manufacture workflows into their everyday design activities.. F.R.A.C.is an easy to use digital workflow that connects industry standard design software to robotic technology tools, using custom apps to provide:.XR environments for design and process interaction.

A library of manufacturing blocks as defined elements of process (which we call CHIPs).Real time data exchange between simulated systems across multiple devices.

Data visualisations and analytics for manufacturing optimisation.

Our vision is to use F.R.A.C to develop our Platform Approach to designing homes, offices, hospitals, schools and other buildings in a new and innovative way, with a kit of parts approach delivered using robotic technology.. We have already prototyped the robotic manufacture of components from our Platform system and our aim is not only to realise construction projects through robotic technology, but also to share our learnings with the industry and to make the building blocks of F.R.A.C available under open source license during 2020..

This approach fosters collaboration among all stakeholders from the early stages of a project, leading to more cohesive and streamlined construction processes.. 5.Future Directions and Global Trends in Hospital Design:.

The podcast delves into future challenges and trends affecting hospital design and construction.It explores demographic changes, advancements in digital health, and the need for adaptable hospital facilities that can accommodate future technological innovations..
