The clue is in the name.

Offsets used should be publicly disclosed.. An example of design strategies that follow the proposed embodied carbon hierarchy is shown in Figure 5..Step-by-step hierarchy for net zero embodied carbon.

Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA).As identified above, DfMA is an essential part of the strategy to achieve net zero embodied and operational carbon.Bryden Wood’s Platform approach to Design for Manufacture and Assembly (P-DfMA) is a system that delivers efficiencies across the entire construction process by applying the principles of manufacturing.. Bryden Wood have taken the P-DfMA approach for the design of multiple projects, like Landsec’s The Forge office development in London, where we have followed the hierarchies described above..

The Forge.. Its lean design, using a standardised ’kit-of-parts’ and the better control on the specification and procurement of materials has shown the following benefits:.Reduction of the amount of material used.

Reduction of waste produced during construction.

Reduction of the time and human resources spent in the delivery of the project.In addition to acting as a mentor for young women in her professional role, she also regularly participates in panels for high school students, which are designed to provide young people with exposure to the field of engineering, in the hope they will consider pursuing an associated career.. Elite is a visiting lecturer at the University of Westminster, where she introduces architecture students to both VR and AR technologies.

She comments that she is ‘always fascinated by the endless possibilities and creative implementations current technologies can offer,’ and looks forward to a technologically rewarding and multidisciplinary future.. MARIA MAMOURA.According to ‘Digital Innovation’ finalist, Maria Mamoura, ‘technology is the tool, a medium, to design a world that functions better.’.

Mamoura is a director and founding member of Bryden Wood’s Creative Technologies team where she leads work on algorithmic design and simulation.She began her career as an architecture student in Athens, before advancing to an MSc in Adaptive Architecture and Computation from the Bartlett, UCL.
