Instead, they use a component kit-of-parts that is easily handled and takes up very little space during transportation.
While designers may aim for uniformity across process areas, this can lead to inefficient and underutilised space.. Right-Sizing Battery Factory Designs.A more cost-effective approach is to 'shrink-wrap' the assembly process.
By mapping and right-sizing the spatial, environmental, and material transfer needs of each step, the building can be designed to precisely match its functional requirements.This reduces capital costs, operational costs, and energy use..Considerations for Right-Sizing:.
• Technical and Plant Areas: Avoid over-allocating space.External plant (e.g., containerised for weather protection) can often replace internal areas, saving costs.. • Structural Efficiency: Large spans add significant structural costs.
Aligning internal spaces with process equipment minimises unnecessary spans..
While right-sizing may increase envelope complexity, these costs are typically outweighed by the long-term benefits.. Bridging the Gap Between Design and Manufacturing.I'm very young and I’ve just started out, but I don’t want to always have in the back of my head that it might be more difficult because I’m a woman.
I feel that we’re all equal, so I go with that.'.MARIA MAMOURA, DIRECTOR, CREATIVE TECHNOLOGIES.
'Being part of the computational design team where we are introducing new technologies and methodologies, I have found people to be very open and there aren’t any preconceptions because I’m a woman, which is great.And at Bryden Wood, we are all equals.
