The case for honest timber

We know this is happening in the US right now, where a major manufacturer is developing new products for a specific DC owner..

As for architects, digitisation is about giving them access to more and better information on which to base their decisions, and creating more time in which to make them.Making these decisions is why people become planners in the first place..

If architects are using 3D models, why would planners use 2D drawings and not those models?When daylight tracking is measurable and predictable (if complex), why would planners be checking the architects’ sums, armed with a calculator, when a ‘digital app’ could do this more efficiently?Why are planners (and the public) expected to engage with idealised and unrealistic CGI images of proposed developments that they cannot adjust, interrogate or control?

Digitisation would make it possible to view proposed developments in their context, that any user could control and view from any angle.. Planning applications and the public:.The more accessible a planning application can be made, the easier it can be interpreted.

By making it more understandable it will enable greater levels of public engagement.

In turn, it is hoped that this will result in a better decision making process and one that is more reflective of the community it will affect.. Planning, developers and bureaucracy:.http://bit.ly/BWNewsUpdatesWhat is Design to Value?.

In order to maximise success and boost product efficiency, while simultaneously driving benefits like improved quality, sustainability and substantial reductions in cost, the design and construction industry would benefit from understanding and embracing this core principle, which is so well embodied by the manufacturing sector..The creation of our built environment is.

a multi-dimensional and fluid matrix of dependencies and consequences.No element can be viewed or managed in isolation..
