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..

Yet this building has been reborn as.Great Western Studios., an incubator to hundreds of creative businesses.
Northern Light floods through the central atrium of the new building, illuminating the work spaces and exhibition areas of artists, sculptors, jewellery makers, fashion designers and architects.That people like these are drawn to the building is affirmation of everything the design set out to achieve.
We caught up with the team who run the space as well as some of the residents to see why the space works so well for them.... KRISTI MINCHIN, GREAT WESTERN STUDIOS.
With only two metres separating the roof of the building from the A40 Westway and The Grand Union Canal only five meters from the walls of the building, the triangular structure of Great Western Studios is in a unique urban position.Integrated design.
Much of the industry’s current difficulty arises from the fact that few people can see the entire process through from end-to-end.At Bryden Wood we have, over time, developed a cross-disciplinary approach in response to this reality and the need to design towards the process – to rationalise, coordinate and develop a fully integrated design solution.
Our team includes technologists, designers, architects, engineers and analysts, because it’s vital that we apply these new principles throughout.To begin with a traditional design process and then, at a later stage, attempt to retrofit some form of DfMA means compromising the design to make it fit the system, or creating a non-optimised, inefficient system – resulting in a disadvantaged built asset.. Kit-of-parts architecture.
