Construction Playbook.
It was acquired by the Lego Group in 2019..Brick Link is now an extensive marketplace hosting over 10,000 vendors in 70 countries.
Users can search for pieces or sets then select vendors based on region, rating, price etc..While Lego have their own ‘Digital Designer’ configurator, Brick Link developed ‘.Brick Link Studio.
’, a free configurator that allows users to generate their own designs from a database of every piece of Lego ever manufactured..The software has some superb features, including a ‘stability check’ to ensure the proposed design is suitably robust, a photorealistic rendering engine and an instruction-making tool to create assembly manuals in the same style as for the sets manufactured by Lego..
The tool is also integrated into the Brick Link marketplace, so once a design is complete (and even as it is being developed) the price is constantly displayed, parts can be interrogated, and the bricks can be ordered direct from the marketplace.. What can we learn?.
The marketplace hosts its own configurator, making it possible to see how the price changes as design decisions are made, and then to procure the exact components needed.The discussion underscored the importance of a data-driven approach in the field of sustainable design and construction.
By utilising advanced simulations and analytics, teams at Bryden Wood can optimise designs to achieve higher sustainability standards, ultimately contributing to the broader goal of reducing the industry’s carbon footprint..These insights provide a deeper understanding of how we are integrating sustainability into our projects and the importance of DfMA and interdisciplinary collaboration in driving these initiatives..
