Industry challenge.
It allows for both simple, standard elements but also prototypes and more complex designs.While the initial purpose of a digital marketplace for construction Platforms would be to propagate the use of standard components, it would certainly be useful to be able to make ‘specials’ to extend the functionality of the standard kit..
Brick Link Studio.Lego® is an interesting ‘Platforms’ case study in itself and a great example of how standard components do not limit individuality of design.There are also multiple manufacturers of the components.
Since the last patent underlying the brick design expired in 1978 there are numerous legitimate systems such as Megaconstrux and Kre-O which are dimensionally identical to, and therefore compatible with, Lego bricks.. For the purposes of this article, however, I am even more interested in a company called Brick Link.It was set up in 2000, initially called BrickBay, as a marketplace to allow fans of Lego to buy and sell vintage Lego sets and retired pieces.
It has since grown into the world’s largest community of Lego fans, where people can also share ideas and designs.
It was acquired by the Lego Group in 2019..She knows there will be resistance and thinks we’ve got to start thinking about things to be able to combat issues like old thinking, processes, contracts, scopes, and procurement methodologies.. “We've got to be able to highlight the dissatisfaction, show people there's a potential vision up.
Nobody changes unless there's something better on the other side,” she says.“But we should be able to show them there's something better.”.
The owners want all of this, but the general contractors tell them it isn’t possible.They can’t tell them the concrete steps of action after the vision.
