reduced operational carbon emissions.

The aim, he says, is on creating and implementing ‘BIM driven workflows for VR and AR across Bryden Wood, as well as a number of highly innovative apps for both public and private sector clients.’.Sher has, in fact, led the team in the design of the two pioneering, web-based, open source configuration apps on which Jami Cresser-Brown is also working: the Innovate UK funded project for the rapid design of primary schools, as well as the design accelerator for systemised housing in London supported by the GLA.. ‘Elite contributes not just software engineering skills,’ says Langley, ‘but also a creative perspective on software development.

Her approach and impact is apparent in each of the apps and tools that the team creates, and has led to the establishment of a unique capability within Bryden Wood.’.In 2017 Sher was also invited by Conscious Cities (Conference No.2) to give a talk on the potential and possible implementation of VR technologies in the construction industry, which she says, ‘initialised a great discussion around the implementation of cutting-edge technologies and the AEC industry.’.

In 2018 she initiated a public industry event hosted by Bryden Wood in collaboration with Simply Rhino, highlighting Bryden Wood’s unique data analysis and VR work, developed by Sher’s team, which ultimately enables what she describes as a '“tailored” use of VR, mobile and desktop applications, and solves various common issues faced by the industry in dealing with model and data transfer between BIM and VR/mobile/desktop platforms.’.Sher speaks about how much she values both the diversity of her team, as well as the openness and creativity of the Bryden Wood environment.

In addition to acting as a mentor for young women in her professional role, she also regularly participates in panels for high school students, which are designed to provide young people with exposure to the field of engineering, in the hope they will consider pursuing an associated career.. Elite is a visiting lecturer at the University of Westminster, where she introduces architecture students to both VR and AR technologies.

She comments that she is ‘always fascinated by the endless possibilities and creative implementations current technologies can offer,’ and looks forward to a technologically rewarding and multidisciplinary future.. MARIA MAMOURA.This not only gives our clients the confidence that they have got the right solution, but ensures they understand why this design is preferable over all others.

We maximise understanding, efficiency and value.. An approach that feeds back into the business.This process reflects our experience and research on design, thinking and deciding.

It is structured to guide and stimulate thinking and creativity.It allows us to combine strategic knowledge on the client side with regards to their business, and our own design knowledge about how buildings work and are constructed.. Our creative use of digital construction technologies allows us to supercharge this process.
