Two Days in Philadelphia: What to Do With 48 Hours in Philly

All of the technologies and initiatives we’ll outline here are underpinned by, or based around, the idea of using standardised, repeatable components.

The components can be easily transported and moved, and they fit together quickly and simply on site with the least amount of handling.Platform construction systems are designed to be flexible and customisable to avoid limiting design freedom and allow massing, form and aesthetic treatments to be considered on a plot-specific basis.. Driving value with MMC and P-DfMA.

Construction platforms are an example of an approach to DfMA that relies on both off-site and on-site construction works, bringing the best aspects of both.The division of fabrication and assembly tasks has been carefully considered to maximise the efficiency of both factory prefabrication and on-site assembly.This is a key aspect of Bryden Wood’s.

is a whole-project approach, starting with design and working through to assembly.I was left thinking that this is how transformation happens..

Professor John Dyson spent more than 25 years at GlaxoSmithKline, eventually ending his career as VP, Head of Capital Strategy and Design, where he focussed on developing a long-term strategic approach to asset management..While there, he engaged Bryden Wood and together they developed the Front End Factory, a collaborative endeavour to explore how to turn purpose and strategy into the right projects – which paved the way for Design to Value.

He is committed to the betterment of lives through individual and collective endeavours.. As well as his business and pharmaceutical experience, Dyson is Professor of Human Enterprise at the University of Birmingham, focussing on project management, business strategy and collaboration.. Additionally, he is a qualified counsellor with a private practice and looks to bring the understanding of human behaviour into business and projects..
