Mental wellbeing can be promoted through healthy design by improving visual quality (daylight levels, views out and adoption of circadian lighting), thermal comfort (improved envelope performance and equipment efficiency, allowing natural ventilation and enabling adaptive comfort via flexible dress codes) and acoustic quality (reducing noise intrusion, and reverberation times, provision of quiet areas, etc.)..
They can’t tell them the concrete steps of action after the vision.They should figure out how to get those owners what they want, Marks says, and the owners need to be willing to take on some risk.
They need to collaborate.“Just because you push risk onto somebody else doesn't make risk go away.We have to start opening up our eyes and stop pushing down responsibility onto somebody else.

The global evolution of industrialised construction.
Ultimately, every single part of the ecosystem has a role to play in this new world, and everyone has to work out what their role is.Barriers and opportunities for change:.
Finally, Adrian discusses the systemic and regulatory barriers to adopting these new manufacturing technologies but also highlights the compelling need for change driven by the demand for affordable, sustainable medicines.He advocates for embracing these new technologies to overcome current limitations and transform pharmaceutical manufacturing..
The podcast emphasises the urgent need for innovation in pharmaceutical manufacturing to address current challenges and future demands.Last year saw the completion of The Forge in London – the world’s first major commercial building constructed using a platforms approach to DfMA (P-DfMA).This landmark project is not just a testament to architectural ingenuity but a leap toward a sustainable future, showcasing our commitment to transforming construction and significantly reducing carbon emissions..
