Event - "Making a Reality of a 2020 Vision for Modular & Offsite Design"

Making a Reality of a 2020 Vision for Modular and Offsite Design

This event focuses on the impact of off-site construction on the client and the design team. We will explore the contemporary demands of learning spaces and what is currently working – and not working – in modular and off-site design.

RISING TO THE CHALLENGE: Why the profession can lead the way
Zubin Masters, Director, Bond Bryan

Often perceived as a threat, the rise of Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) presents an opportunity for the architectural profession and designers to engage with the construction industry as it evolves and adapts to a fundamental shift in how buildings are designed, procured and delivered. A switch from mainly traditional on-site construction to mainly modern methods of construction (prefabrication, volumetric, modular, offsite manufacture) using design for manufacture and assembly.

While the overall benefits of this shift are well understood – safer, faster, less wasteful, better quality, more sustainable, and so on – extracting the maximum value from a design perspective is less well understood, and as such, presents designers with significant – but exciting – challenges and opportunities.

Bond Bryan are currently designing and delivering a number of buildings by deploying a range of MMC solutions. Through the examples of recent and current projects, like the recently completed Robert Clack School of Science in Barking, the presentation will aim to provide:

An insight into the implications for, and challenges faced by, the profession.
The changing role of Architects – from Designers to Integrators involved in the means of production. Collaborating with the entire supply chain as well as adapting to the sequencing and programming challenges.
Delivering high quality customised solutions, whilst maximising value, through standardised components.
Comparison of and lessons learnt from the different MMC approaches and systems being deployed in Education Buildings.
A glimpse into the advances in BIM andinnovative practices in the Design and Manufacture of buildings.
