The issue with these methods is that there is still work to be done on the technology and estimations for using the captured carbon in directly transforming it into hydrocarbons.. A good measure to show how close a technology is to being used is the technology readiness level (TRL).

is an easy to use digital workflow that connects industry standard design software to robotic technology tools, using custom apps to provide:.XR environments for design and process interaction.

A library of manufacturing blocks as defined elements of process (which we call CHIPs).Real time data exchange between simulated systems across multiple devices.Data visualisations and analytics for manufacturing optimisation.

Our vision is to use F.R.A.C to develop our Platform Approach to designing homes, offices, hospitals, schools and other buildings in a new and innovative way, with a kit of parts approach delivered using robotic technology.. We have already prototyped the robotic manufacture of components from our Platform system and our aim is not only to realise construction projects through robotic technology, but also to share our learnings with the industry and to make the building blocks of F.R.A.C available under open source license during 2020..

Before COVID-19, the climate emergency was very prominent in the media, and the UK was the first major country to commit to achieving zero carbon targets by 2050.

With the current pandemic, however, the focus on buildings is moving away from energy efficient buildings, and towards healthy buildings.Humankind became dominant through its adaptability, our neo-cortex in our brains is incredibly plastic and moulds to allow us to adapt our whole life.

To enact the change both individually and collectively we just need to recognise that we are stuck in the Devil’s Snare and decide to stop struggling..Professor John Dyson spent more than 25 years at GlaxoSmithKline, eventually ending his career as VP, Head of Capital Strategy and Design, where he focussed on developing a long-term strategic approach to asset management..

While there, he engaged Bryden Wood and together they developed the Front End Factory, a collaborative endeavour to explore how to turn purpose and strategy into the right projects – which paved the way for Design to Value.He is committed to the betterment of lives through individual and collective endeavours.. As well as his business and pharmaceutical experience, Dyson is Professor of Human Enterprise at the University of Birmingham, focussing on project management, business strategy and collaboration.. Additionally, he is a qualified counsellor with a private practice and looks to bring the understanding of human behaviour into business and projects..
