Apple's Plans for 2025

Architects produce one set of information to one set of criteria, submitting it to planners who then need another, and particular, set of information.

This project will shine a light on what is possible.. Further applications: the benefits to government and local plans.The solutions may be different, but the principles we are exploring here have very positive ramifications for other areas.. Local/central government: the principle of making information interoperable and shareable, or policies more machine-readable and rules-based, while smoothing flow of information ‘before use’, is applicable in many areas: domestic planning, perhaps, where we could unblock permitted development and focus more on sustainable development; or major infrastructure projects where incompatible information systems breed wasted time and resources.. Local plans: are all based on evidence, which is all based on data.

Data fixed in time is by definition out of date, while digitisation in the holistic context – as this project is demonstrating – gives us the opportunity to keep data and evidence current, informing and improving engagement and decision-making.. Next steps: collaboration to foster continuous improvement.There are others operating in this space.This project has the potential to enable effective and creative collaboration between all of them, providing the shared basis on which other projects can connect, operate and develop.

Involving more people and projects to test the process and demonstrate value would also be a good thing..Given the potential scale of this project and its broader applications, we would seek to connect with MHCLG, both in terms of technical development, and to benefit from their convening power..

The more connections we enable, the stronger those connections become and the more benefits arise from them.

A key principle of this project and the thinking within it is actively and consciously to reinvest the positive impact and learnings of the project for the people involved, to create a virtuous cycle of continuous improvement and progress..

With the current pandemic, however, the focus on buildings is moving away from energy efficient buildings, and towards healthy buildings.But can we have both?.

The Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE) has just released a. set of documents.which provide guidance for building owners and managers on how to start reoccupying their buildings.
