• Early stages often involve vertical material transfer (e.g., wet chemicals).. • Later stages require significant ventilation, heat rejection, and cooling..
In advance of International Women's Day on the 8th March, we asked some of our female architects, engineers and designers to share their thoughts on being women in construction.. EVA MAGNISALI - HEAD OF ROBOTICS.International Women’s Day is quite a big topic in the industry because there are more men in leading roles.
It is more male dominated at the moment, but I don’t think it’s something that can’t change and I would say that it’s becoming more of a nice mix.I see more and more women participating, especially coming from academia and those joining the industry too..The ethos of the office at Bryden Wood is very good and very strong in terms of letting everybody, both men and women, participate and provide opinions that are heard.. We’re working on a bigger effort here...trying to demystify the [robotics] technology for as many people as possible, so that we are all on the same page as we try to implement and adopt it within the construction industry...
If we’re talking about offsite construction, automation is essential to scale up.I think it’s really important to rethink the construction process and that’s where robotics and advanced fabrication technologies help.’.

'I feel that there’s nothing that can stop me.These ideas offer the opportunity to make the construction of an asset carbon negative.. How can we build and not just protect diversity (e.g.
move a threatened species) but provide the foundations to increase natural habitats?This is not just putting money aside to plant trees, it’s about working with environmental groups – not to seek reluctant acceptance but instead enthusiastic support and ideas.
We know that green spaces are a positive influence on our well-being.Studies have shown that contact with nature has a significant impact on mental health.
