Christoph Ackermann, principal at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bdp.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BDP<\/a>, talks about how this approach was put into practice with the Technology &amp; Innovation Centre and inovo building in Glasgow<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/well-building-standard\/65315\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Designing a building<\/a> that will inspire the most ambitious, forward-thinking people who will tackle societal and global issues is challenging. Yet the architectural process of designing a hi-tech learning and research building starts in a decisively low-tech manner \u2013 by face-to-face communication \u2013 still one of the most effective means of human interaction.<\/p>\n<p>Understanding the importance of human interaction is particularly important when you are designing a structure built for sharing ideas and knowledge. During our involvement in the design and development of the Technology &amp; Innovation Centre (TIC) and the neighbouring inovo building, set within the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.strath.ac.uk\/workwithus\/glasgowcityinnovationdistrict\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Glasgow City Innovation District<\/a>, we put the concept of \u201cknowledge cauldrons\u201d to the test \u2013 where proximity and chance encounter can grow into new research.<\/p>\n<p>The number of partners and the incredible ambition for the TIC and inovo buildings meant that collaboration was key to their success. The buildings needed to draw together different science and technology disciplines with external business partners to create economic potential. Our role was to create the structures that contributed to this vision. We needed to be completely responsive to the needs for the buildings: creating spaces for the meeting of minds and to create incubator spaces for idea generation. We needed to strengthen the opportunity for all the occupants to turn research into reality.<\/p>\n<p>The aim was to design the buildings to encourage dedicated knowledge exchange and interaction between researchers. The benefits of collaborative working on research projects is fundamental, and flexible spaces to facilitate chance meetings and spontaneous exchange of ideas are essential for effective research. By providing these stimulating \u201cknowledge cauldrons\u201d in combination with quiet write-up spaces, researchers are provided with suitably varied settings for their work.<\/p>\n<p>Writing now, a few years since completion, both the TIC and inovo buildings are uniting organisations that have located here to nurture and accelerate growth, improve productivity and access world-class research and technology.<\/p>\n<p>Academics, business, industry and public sectors are working together in these spaces to find solutions to challenges that matter in areas of economic importance, including advanced manufacturing and materials, health and wellbeing, innovation and entrepreneurship, measurement science and enabling technologies and ocean, air and space.<\/p>\n<p>These two buildings are not only an integral part of an ambitious city centre regeneration project that is the result of a successful partnership between Glasgow City Council, the University of Strathclyde, Scottish Enterprise, Glasgow Chamber of Commerce and Entrepreneurial Scotland, but are also heralded as transformers for the Scottish economy.<\/p>\n<p>This environment has brought in new jobs, inward investment and organisations with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/construction-innovation\/56957\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">innovation at their core<\/a>, from the Weir Group\u2019s Advanced Research Centre to the UK headquarters of Europe\u2019s largest contract research organisation, Fraunhofer. And with continuing demand for even more \u201cknowledge cauldrons\u201d, plans are now in development for two additional buildings next to the TIC building to increase the space available for co-location of companies and world-class research groups.<\/p>\n<p>To fully understand a client\u2019s requirements and aspirations, our approach at BDP is to undertake stakeholder consultations to develop a collective vision for a new building. This exercise sometimes reveals that various researchers are working on similar projects but in different departments or even fields of research. Joint stakeholder consultations frequently bring different researchers together to discuss their requirements, often for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>At BDP, we have long recognised the importance of different disciplines and professions coming together with the whole being greater than the sum of the parts, and we take pride in being the first interdisciplinary practice. We believe through working collaboratively, we can create exciting and vibrant places for people \u2013 just like the TIC and inovo buildings.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/construction-technology-news\/knowledge-building-design\/66659\/attachment\/ackermann-christoph-02_c\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-66669\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-66669 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Ackermann-Christoph-02_C-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"Inovo building, Technology &amp; Innovation Centre,\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Ackermann-Christoph-02_C-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Ackermann-Christoph-02_C-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Ackermann-Christoph-02_C-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Ackermann-Christoph-02_C-696x1044.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Ackermann-Christoph-02_C-1068x1602.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Ackermann-Christoph-02_C-280x420.jpg 280w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Ackermann-Christoph-02_C-1920x2880.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Ackermann-Christoph-02_C-610x915.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Ackermann-Christoph-02_C.jpg 1333w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a>Christoph Ackermann<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>BDP<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bdp.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.bdp.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Twitter: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/bdp_com\">bdp<\/a><\/p>\n<p>LinkedIn:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/bdp-building-design-partnership-ltd-\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bdp<\/a><\/p>\n<p>YouTube:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/BDPdotCOM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BDPdotCOM<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Designing buildings to foster human interaction can support creativity, collaboration and innovation.
