From the integration of disparate industries to the deployment of cutting-edge technologies such as small modular reactors and advanced pharmaceutical manufacturing systems, the video provides a deep dive into the strategies that are transforming the way we approach global challenges.

repowering coal-fired plants.with small modular reactors in collaboration with Terra Praxis, Bryden Wood addresses some of the world’s most urgent societal challenges.

These projects exemplify the firm's commitment to leveraging design to deliver long-term benefits for people and the planet..By prioritising innovation, dismantling disciplinary silos, and focusing on Design to Value, Bryden Wood consistently delivers transformative solutions.Whether tackling climate change through renewable energy or enhancing societal outcomes via thoughtful design, we aim to exemplify how architecture and engineering can be forces for good.With a breadth of cross-sectoral experience connected by themes of challenge, change and growth, Trudi Sully is used to looking at the darkest sides of an industry and watching as innovation forges a transformational path to a better state of being.

Pushing back and questioning why things are happening has become a key part of her process in her current role as Impact Director at the Construction Innovation Hub, a UK government funded programme established in response to the many and varied challenges currently impacting the construction industry..Faced with a range of issues from slow technological adoption and poor productivity, to a serious level of major incidents and accidents, the construction ecosystem has long been in need of a major transformation.

At Bryden Wood we’ve found that some of the greatest successes and quickest changes come from cross-fertilising ideas from one sector to another, disrupting a long-standing model with a better way of working.

With a background spanning industries like agriculture, engineering and healthcare, as well as work as part of the Technology Strategy Board of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), Sully says it’s the significant breadth of her previous experience that makes her so well suited to her current work with the Hub.. Now entering its fourth year in operation, the purpose of the Construction Innovation Hub is to act as a catalyst to support the industry, working with both the UK government and supply chain, in order to establish how we can facilitate more effective delivery of our built environment.Their business model is different, working in and looking to protect a market with greater demand than supply they are looking for higher short-term returns and the market dictates that quality standards are not such an issue because Dwellers have so few options.

The answer is not to try to design the impossible but to help to re-structure the whole value chain..The idea of analysing the value landscape may not occur to most architects, designers or project managers; being more comfortable in focusing on the asset, the aesthetics, the technical details or the physical deliverables.

However, without this context there is an inevitability that the true opportunity for value delivery will never be achieved.. Our Design to Value book, gives many examples where a multitude of stakeholders are brought into the arena of problem definition, problem solving, and design.When this happens not only are exquisite solutions found, but there is positive change enacted through the engagement itself..
