Exploring the Future of Construction: Digitalisation and Health & Safety Insights | Professor Jennifer Whyte

Lessons Learned.

Randy is optimistic about the current generation of architecture graduates, describing them as loyal, dedicated, and environmentally conscious.He predicts a 5-7 year 'renaissance' period where these new professionals will drive significant change in the industry, before many potentially move into startups or entrepreneurial ventures.. 4.

Evolution of architectural education.He notes that traditional architectural education needs to adapt to tech-savvy students who often know more about certain tools than their professors.However, he emphasises that the core value of architectural education lies in teaching critical thinking and problem-solving skills rather than specific technical knowledge.. 5.

Communication and language in architecture.Randy highlights the importance of effective communication and storytelling in architecture, drawing from his background in playwriting.

He discusses how terminology (like AI, MMC, DfMA) can be both important for precision but also potentially confusing, emphasising the need to understand context and underlying meanings rather than getting caught up in exact definitions..

Learn more about our approach to architectural design.At Bryden Wood, we strive to create exceptional design solutions that deliver better value for clients and a better built environment for society.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.
