Recognising this reality, platform construction (P-DfMA) was Bryden Wood’s attempt to identify these types of cross-sector commonalities and develop a kit of parts which could then be used to build a variety of different sector types, but using the same components.

PRiSM benefits from substantial research into a broad cross-section of residential developments, various typologies, areas and spaces within apartments.We wanted to understand just how much standardisation was actually taking place.

We also wanted to map out all of the different typologies it was possible to build, in order to create a common language with which to talk about housing.Because of the density requirements of inner-city London sites, we initially focused on central corridor apartment buildings within PRiSM.We started with typologies which were most commonly in use and would therefore provide the biggest benefit.

However, we built PRiSM so that it could be expanded to include additional housing typologies and geographies in future, if we were to open the app up for further adoption in suburban or rural settings.In this sense, PRiSM represents a truly open-ended workflow, with the potential for continual expansion and development..
