This course brings together within a single theoretical and analytical framework, known as Space Syntax, the study of architecture from the scale of buildings to entire cities.

For example, if an occupied space were to be replaced with a non-occupied space, the glazed component could be swapped for an opaque component, improving the energy efficiency of the façade.The replaced glazed component can be stored for use elsewhere on the building or on another similar local building.. Internal wall positions should be moveable to enable internal spaces to be modified easily.

Being able to create new spaces means the building will have a longer lifespan with fewer major changes.. Having the ability to add or remove services to suit internal layout changes or adapt to a changing climate will allow the building to be used for longer.Services (heating, cooling, lifts, sprinklers, plumbing, etc) have one of the shortest life expectancies of all elements of the building, due to their moving parts.By building in easy maintenance strategies from the outset, services are likely to be better maintained and need fewer replacements over their life.. Design for disassembly (to be balanced with safe deconstruction).

To facilitate truly sustainable construction, at the end of the building’s life it is important to be able to disassemble it in a safe manner.The design should accommodate reversible connections, ie things that can be undone and dismantled.

This is particularly important in the superstructure, where traditionally the easiest method of deconstructing is to crush the building..

The use of bolted connections on steelwork joints is safer as hot trades such as welding are omitted.He has worked on international projects that include large and small molecule upstream and downstream pharmaceutical manufacturing, consumer goods, R&D and QC laboratories, site masterplans, and wider strategic initiatives.

While predominantly focused on front-end design, Alastair has experience coordinating, managing, and delivering facilities through to completion, and uses this experience to better inform early design decisions.Urko joined Bryden Wood in September 2015 after finishing his Master’s degree in Architecture at the University of the Basque Country in San Sebastian, Spain.. Urko’s first experience with the company was working on the E5+ Explore Living project, a modular system that gave him a professional answer to his educational background in modular residential building design..He has been involved in a wide range of projects developed through the use of BIM, including Sugar House Island, Battersea Power Station, large UK government schemes and Equinix.

The experience obtained in these projects has allowed Urko to develop skills that have routed him into DfMA and.Cristina joined Bryden Wood's.team in July 2014, having previously worked in architectural firms in Spain, and after graduating from San Pablo CEU University in Spain in 2013..
