It’s not just for them to tell you what to do as such, but as an architect you will have the most impact on a building if you try to work as a team.Incorporating passive design in your projects will mean less M&E services will be required, which means you will benefit architecturally from things like higher ceiling height, larger areas needing smaller risers and smaller plant rooms.
All in all, the technical spaces in a building become a lot smaller.This will also mean the capital cost should come down and certainly the running costs will decrease.Ultimately, you will have a happy client who won’t have to pay as much to run the building every year.With the Circle Reading project, architects Bryden Wood have employed a design ethic powered by both clinical practicality and build efficiency, delivering a hospital not only visually distinctive, but one which utilises insightful, use-driven design and cutting edge manufacturing processes.
It’s a space which continually upends expectations - a structure of steel and concrete, much of which was built offsite..The achievement has been made possible by the implementation of a bespoke Design for Manufacture and Assembly system, which Bryden Wood developed in conjunction with Circle and tailored specifically for their needs.

Similarly, while it is certainly important to maintain a focus on bringing apprentices and young people into the industry, we also need to prioritise graduates and master’s degree students.These are the people with the higher level skills who can land straight into management roles of organisations and really make significant shifts in how things are done.
