This is often the situation at the start of a design project.
We all have our own playbook, a list of traditions, menu, set of rituals.If doing these things doesn’t make everybody happy we just need to do more of them, try harder, and put more effort in.. We get caught in the Devil’s Snare.. As Hermione Granger knew, the alternative is to stop struggling and bring light to where we are.
One of the play-on-words used by counsellors is not to say “Don’t sit there, do something” but to say “.Don’t do something, sit there.This is a time of year, but also a time in our history when the things we have been doing and are doing are not giving us what we want and need.
There is little use in just trying much harder at doing the same things.We need to pause, reflect on our purpose, try to see different perspectives, different routes forward; bring light to our present.. We need to try different things, do things in different ways, make new connections.. A few weeks ago I was involved in a conversation about pharmaceuticals.
Many of the drugs we take are synthesised ultimately from oil or use significant amounts of fossil fuels to produce.
Agricultural, paper and wastewater industries dispose of significant amounts of carbon-based compounds which could be the feedstocks for these drug substances.As a result, these are particularly important factors to consider in the design and construction of pharmaceutical facilities..
In summary, Chips allow us many different perspectives on parts of a project.And crucially, they provide the common language for communication between all the different people involved in executing that project..
Improving pharmaceutical facility design with Chips, generative design and automation.We are now using chips as the basis of generative designs to allow us to automate the design process.
