Marks notes that people tend to think standardised design is something new, but it isn’t.

If you want to stay local to your area, you can.There are enough opportunities out there to stay local.

But, if you want to travel the world, it will also give you that ability.You can make it however you want.There is enough diversity within the industry to allow people to thrive in all different aspects.. What makes Bryden Wood different is that they aren’t afraid to try things.

They aren’t afraid to rip up the rule book and say, ‘Why are we doing it this way?’ That’s what I like.I like the way that they will look at something and say, ‘Right, ok. How can we make this better?’.

Also, with the DfMA aspects - making sites safer, making it so that pieces of the F frame for example...are lightweight and can be easily put into place (that it can be built like an IKEA piece of furniture on the deck and lifted in), that’s what I like.

I like the way that we don’t say no to anything.'.This collaborative assessment process included data visualisations and the transparent, objective evaluation of different potential solutions.

The team was able to balance the different and often competing interests of stakeholders using a range of techniques, including use of Virtual Reality (VR) to simulate how the new building would work and help them understand and contribute to the design..Gathering feedback from groups including prison staff and those delivering services in prisons gained buy-in and approval from all levels – from senior policy makers to operational staff – and meant we were able to demonstrate best overall value for money.. Translating evidence into design.

All of this evidence gathering, consultation and collaboration had profound effect on the design:.Significant emphasis has been put on visiting facilities.
