Built Environment Matters Bryden Wood

In this enlightening episode, Adrian La Porta, Technical Director at Bryden Wood, dives deep into the evolving landscape of pharmaceutical manufacturing, focusing on the critical role of Small Molecule Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) in modern medicine. As the backbone of the world's most essential medications, the development and production of APIs stand at a crossroads, challenged by the increasing demand for more complex, potent, and targeted molecules. Adrian unveils the limitations of traditional batch chemistry in API manufacturing and explores the revolutionary shift towards miniaturisation, process intensification, and automation. 

Join Adrian as he dissects the groundbreaking technologies reshaping R&D, highlights the inefficiencies of current manufacturing networks, and proposes a new paradigm that promises lean, agile, and environmentally sustainable drug production. He examines the potential of continuous processing and other intensification strategies to enhance chemistry, reduce waste, and improve quality, all while addressing the financial and environmental costs associated with conventional large-scale manufacturing.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the future of pharmaceuticals, from industry professionals and researchers to healthcare providers and patients. 

Discover how discarding outdated methodologies in favour of innovative, modular manufacturing systems can transform the production of life-saving drugs, making them faster, safer, and more accessible to patients worldwide.

In this special 'In Short' edition of Built Environment Matters, Head of Global Systems, Jaimie Johnston MBE gives us a sub-ten-minute lowdown on the benefits of 'Reference Design.' 

By creating a centralised and highly optimised core design, we are able to streamline the process of designing and building structures for our clients. Through thoughtful localisation and adaptation, we can customise our designs to specific sites and conditions, ensuring that they meet the unique needs of each project. 

This approach is particularly appealing to our major repeat clients, who have a national or global presence and require efficient, repeatable solutions.

Amy Marks joins Jaimie Johnston MBE to talk about Advancing Prefab, which is taking place in Phoenix from 14th-17th March. Now in its seventh year, it's fast becoming the world's biggest conference on industrialized construction. Listen in to learn more about why everyone in this space, particularly architects and designers, should attend.

Will Lichtig, Chief of Staff at The Boldt Company joins Technical Director Adrian La Porta on this episode of the Built Environment Matters podcast.
We learn how Will's twenty-five years of experience as a construction lawyer allowed him to see the failings of the design and construction industry firsthand. Will now uses this knowledge to reshape the construction industry in a way that promotes project success. In his role at The Boldt Company, he is now a recognised leader in the lean and integrated project delivery movements. 
Listen in to hear his fascinating story and why he believes that the first place to start innovating is around the definition of customer value and the range of options that might exist to be able to help a customer achieve that value. And that's well before you get into designing the facility. 'If you don't get in early enough, you're gonna foreclose many of the options that might otherwise exist to help the customer discover what might really be valuable to them.'
