As spacecraft are created offsite and have similar ventilation issues to operating theatres, there were learnings to be made from the way material procurement is handled in the space industry.
Rather than creating PDF documentation about MMC processes and their benefits for housing design, we wanted PRiSM to aid understanding of core MMC techniques more directly.The app exposes spatial planning rules and MMC design rules to the users, which leads to greater understanding and ultimately accelerates PMH design.
By eliminating the need for the type of specialist knowledge which typically surrounds MMC, the app fosters accessibility for a broad range of users with an interest in residential architecture.It brings transparency to manufacturing-based construction methodologies and makes the entire process of housing design more efficient and predictable.PRiSM makes it easier to assess the feasibility of projects.. As an educational tool, PRiSM helps designers to understand PMH better.
In an effort to reach the widest possible audience and create the biggest benefits for the industry, we’ve made the app open-source and free to use.PRiSM makes it possible for developers, local authorities, housing associations, architects and manufacturers to design housing solutions very quickly.
An apartment building can be designed in as little as thirty minutes.
The web-based app is easily accessible and enables users to navigate to a specific site in London.This allows us to iterate and test many variables.
Users can take a virtual reality walk through the process, to test the physical environment and anticipate issues..Automation in construction.
There are many elements of built assets that are, or could be, automated or standardised across multiple processes in one or more sectors and industries.The benefits of standardisation are visible every day in the manufacturing industry, at global scale.
