But, with modular construction, it’s often the case that prefabricating comparatively simple parts of a building as 3D modules adds cost and complexity, especially if the required trades need to be present on-site anyway..

The project was one of two FOYA Category Winners for Social Impact in 2020.“The team paid attention to creating a ‘can do’ attitude and culture whilst implementing accelerated delivery tools,” said the FOYA Judging Panel.

“As a result, GSK and ViiV Healthcare ensured the continuity of supply of Fostemsavir for clinical trials.”.The common thread: Design to Value.Although the two projects are quite different, the underlying principles of our responses are the same.. Design to Value.

is our unifying approach to finding the most efficient route to the optimal solution by analysing and understanding every facet of a problem..In both projects we took a methodical approach to building a thorough understanding of the process, breaking it down into its component parts, considering these from every angle and configuring them in the optimal way to meet the project’s unique challenges: supplying a new life-saving drug in the shortest time possible, or delivering a best-in-class API plant on time and budget during a pandemic..

Both the Parma Attachment Inhibitor and Singapore API Plant were highly complex projects with many stakeholders and technical challenges to overcome.

Collaboration and engagement with the client in an open, exploratory way was critical to managing this complexity.. Much contemporary design practice seeks to reduce complexity through specialisation –fragmenting responsibility until nobody has a clear view of the whole.Traditional construction often requires multiple on-site trades performing one-off tasks, which can be time-consuming, costly, and prone to errors.

In contrast, Lincoln points out that data centres, with their highly engineered interiors, are prime candidates for a more industrialised, standardised approach.By developing a core ‘kit of parts’, Edged can:.

Streamline supply chains.so that manufacturers fully understand each component’s specifications.. Reduce on-site labour.
