vaporised liquid nitrogen which is used in cryogenics, or oxygen which is used in bioreactors) can be very problematic – especially on upper-floors or where labs neighbour office tenancies.. 6.
This project was the city’s response to the allocation of 20,000 migrants fleeing Syria, Afghanistan, and Iraq to be housed.This was a people problem with complex, strong and diverse views and issues to negotiate.
Although they used some very advanced modelling techniques, this was done only to support and inform a big conversation.They largely got rid of the traditional processes of city planning, keeping only those things that seemed immovable.Instead they used a process of discussion.
They brought together those already living in the city, those who would need to provide services and through agencies heard the voices of refugees themselves.They allowed worries, concerns and aspirations to be voiced, using the modelling to inform debate and to regulate emotional catastrophising.
No process like this can be perfect but it can be good: constructive, educational and democratising.
Research suggested that many of these values had been achieved..On top of this, there’s the value of aesthetics and how things make us feel, as well as the value derived from doing; the personal development or learning someone might gain as a result of working on a project.
There are a lot of value aspects to be considered when implementing a Design to Value approach.. 1.Once you’ve identified the problem you’re trying to solve and the value you’d like to achieve, it’s time to start evaluating processes.
The first step is to start modelling your project and working out how you’ll use particular processes to achieve your desired value outcomes, as well as to find the optimum balance between them.. 1.For more about developments in approaches to Value in construction and the built environment, see the Construction Innovation Hub’s work in this area.
