This project was a precursor to Bryden Wood’s innovative work with construction Platforms and P-DFMA..
There are four principles that enable us to operate in this way:.A common language allows people with diverse areas of expertise, including those not normally involved in design and construction, to participate fully in design decisions.
This is much more effective than a conventional approach where you might produce engineering drawings or documentation and then hand them to a user group who will then take additional time to review and pass comment.And, of course, if people are fully involved in generating solutions, they're more likely to adopt them..Visual information is vital in communicating complex issues.
A generally accepted principle in systems thinking is that diagrams are required to convey complex issues in a way that text generally can't.. We also use modeling and data visualisation, to ensure that decisions are based on facts and data, rather than opinion and hunches.Transparency of data sources and decision-making is important, because it gives people confidence in the analysis and the proposed solutions..
Knowledge capture allows reuse of learning from project to project, promotes standardisation, and allows us to trace decisions through the life cycle of a project.. We will see how Chip Thinking® plays an important role in applying these principles.. What are Chips?.
Chips are the smallest meaningful part of the processes that make up a supply chain.These countries have a simultaneous demand for both energy growth and decarbonisation, meaning that they’re in very serious need of clean energy solutions..
Considering that the industrialised world has contributed the majority of historical carbon emissions, Gogan points out that it’s really becoming socially unacceptable for us to continue to move so slowly to decarbonise our own economies, giving support to one technology, but not another.This is heightened by the fact that nuclear plants are currently providing about half of Europe’s clean energy, which leads to the obvious question: how can we justify shutting them down and replacing them with coal and gas?.
Rising Carbon Emissions.Alarmingly, despite having spent decades now talking about action for climate, carbon emissions continue to rise year-on-year.
