Terra Praxis, co-founded by Kirsty Gogan, is dedicated to developing and implementing high-impact solutions to decarbonise sectors that are difficult to abate.

The standardised steel beams were provided with more penetrations than the design required, this pre-enabled the asset for future adaptations: with additional fixing points already cast into in the slab, the model is less likely to need updating as adaptations or refurbishments take place.. Summary.With the construction sector currently facing challenges on multiple fronts, it should be at least encouraging that a number of topics – sustainability, productivity and safety – all point in the same direction; a simplified and digitally-enabled design and construction process, using repeatable components manufactured at scale and assembled using standardised processes..

Iris emphasises the importance of this approach for the built environment.

She explains that lean construction aims to deliver exactly what the customer wants in the shortest time with minimal waste, though achieving this requires balancing often conflicting objectives.In this office, we get to do so many different things and work on so many different types of buildings.’.

* - Bryden Wood's female architects make up 54% of the architectural team, which is significantly higher than the Architects' Journal stats for AJ100 practices in 2019, which states the average to be 34%.Bryden Wood's female engineers make up 14% of the team, which is higher than the Women's Engineering Society's stats for 2018, which gives a figure of 12.37% female engineers in the UKSustainability has long been an integral part of our design approach.

We believe the design and construction industry needs to change and find new, sustainable, high quality and cost effective solutions for our towns and cities.Our architects and engineers are driven to create a highly productive, digitally-led industry, which improves the sustainability, efficiency and aesthetic quality of all aspects of the built environment.
