Alarmingly, despite having spent decades now talking about action for climate, carbon emissions continue to rise year-on-year.

Lord Farmer Review into Family Ties.that connections with family and friends are key to rehabilitation.

The new design will have internal and external spaces in which prisoners and their visitors can socialise..The overall design allows for flexible use of spaces, meaning that facilities don’t go unused.Many spaces are designed for multiple use, so classrooms can become communal rooms, and so on.. Central ‘resource hubs’ will house education facilities, libraries, full medical facilities, a gym, barbers and faith spaces, resembling a high street of services which is both normalising and promotes independence.. Of the standard building types, the most common is the house block, which represents nearly 60% of the accommodation on each site.

Many of the innovations that came from this process are to be found in the house block:.The new prison design signals the end of ‘gallery’ prisons.

The new design will have much smaller, 20 person spurs with a much more domestic atmosphere.

The spurs are arranged in ’T’ shapes, creating outdoor courtyard spaces with plants.The more buildings that can be described by technical standards, state-based standards and rule sets ripe for some form of algorithmic design, the more we will be able to design more efficiently, more quickly and to a higher quality.

This digital process will then feed all the way down through manufacturing, assembly automation and construction, with the ultimate benefits finding their way onto site..Lean construction in practice: a virtuous circle of benefits.

All of these factors combine to deliver cost and material savings, while using fewer people and increasing productivity.We’re already seeing evidence that it’s possible to build a superstructure with half the number of people in half the time, representing a four-fold increase in productivity, as well as a 25% reduction in overall material and a 20% reduction in embodied carbon.
