Not in the future.

M: I would probably say it's incredibly important to have a plan on how you will be presenting your work.Don't forget you will be presenting in front of people who may have never seen your work before, so be clear and to the point.

It's also really important to keep an open mind to any feedback you might get.It's easy to get defensive when you're being critted because at that time you define yourself through your project (having worked on it consistently for weeks and weeks, often losing sleep to get those drawings finished), but a crit is not there to judge you and your worth but to ultimately make you a better architect.As champions of both company innovation and diversity, Bryden Wood are delighted to have three exceptional team members selected as finalists for the prestigious European Women In Construction and Engineering Awards.The WICE Awards, currently celebrating their fifth year, highlight the leading contributions being made by women within the industry.

It’s a unique opportunity and honour, for both nominees and the eventual winners, with finalists evaluated by an expert panel of judges on the basis of outstanding achievement and contribution within the field.In an industry in which women are still substantially underrepresented, the WICE Awards offer an opportunity to champion the contributions from the most outstanding female workers in construction and engineering, as they compete against hundreds of high performing nominees from across Europe to win the top accolade within their categories.. With their focus on ‘breaking down barriers and building new heights,’ the WICE Awards report that just 9% of current UK engineering roles are occupied by women and only 11% of jobs within the construction industry.. Bryden Wood, who pride themselves on being driven by the core principles of maximising innovation, efficiency and creating pioneering and value-driven solutions to the industry, are proud that so many of their team members are women.. ‘50% of our Architects at Bryden Wood are amazing, talented, creative and inspirational women,’ says Board Director for Architecture Paul O’Neill..

Indeed, female team members play crucial roles all across the company, with three out of four directors of the innovative Creative Technologies team being WICE award finalists.. JAMI CRESSER-BROWN.

Architecture Director Jami Cresser-Brown leads Bryden Wood’s ‘Central Logic’ approach and is a finalist for the ‘Best Woman Architect’ award.It's working out how to get it done that becomes hard.. At present, our focus is on transforming construction into a more future-facing sector.

We need to ask important questions about how to make it more inclusive and representative of the society it serves.. To begin, it’s essential to recognise that we can’t achieve our goals working in isolation.Problems like carbon emissions, poor build quality, labour shortages and the housing crisis - they can all be improved if we collectively refocus our energies and unify our processes.

The creation of the Construction Innovation Hub is a response to this need.The Hub aims to overcome the industry’s current fragmentation and adopt a new, data-driven, industrialised construction approach.
