It was built with eight Ghurkas from components delivered in shipping containers.
This is a very good example of how evidence underpins our approach to design.. Stakeholders and sources of evidence included:.Serving and former prison governors, staff and prisoners.
Prisoner support groups, including the Prison Advice and Care Trust.Policy staff and academics from across Europe.A review of other models of incarceration and a comprehensive literature review relating to carceral geography.
Clearly, no prison design concept will inherently rehabilitate people.‘Buildings don’t heal people; people heal people.’ However, design choices can support positive social interactions and preclude or reduce negative interactions..
The design aspects that support this include:.
Facilitating contact with family and society./m², good practice would be below 970kgCO.
and best practice below 550kgCO.This lower threshold is only achievable by refurbished buildings and timber structures that account for carbon sequestration and design with ambitious low carbon specifications.. Bryden Wood aspires to design new buildings that achieve at least the good practice thresholds shown in Figure 4 and where feasible deliver best practice performance.
In order to be able to meet these aspirations, it is necessary to develop a clear strategy for both embodied and operational carbon..From LETI: graphic showing the range of performance based on benchmarked projects..
