Typical operational and embodied carbon breakdown for medium scale residential for a standard building (left) and for an ultra-low energy building.
Prisoner support groups, including the Prison Advice and Care Trust.Policy staff and academics from across Europe.
A review of other models of incarceration and a comprehensive literature review relating to carceral geography.Clearly, no prison design concept will inherently rehabilitate people.‘Buildings don’t heal people; people heal people.’ However, design choices can support positive social interactions and preclude or reduce negative interactions..
The design aspects that support this include:.Facilitating contact with family and society.
A normalising environment.
Appropriate levels of autonomy, while recognising the need to maintain prisoner and staff safety.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:.
