An Engineering UK survey found that no less than 27% of enterprises in the UK are engineering-related, with the sector growing in size by 5.6%, from 2015 to 2016.
Emphasising rehabilitation over punishment, Yvonne advocates for prison designs that mimic normal living conditions to the greatest extent possible.This approach aims to prepare inmates for reintegration into society, potentially lowering re-offending rates.
The discussion highlights how thoughtful design can support rehabilitation by providing inmates with a sense of normalcy and dignity, which are crucial for their psychological well-being.. 4.Sustainable and human-centred prison design.The application of sustainable building principles, similar to those used in Passivhaus designs, is explored as a way to enhance living conditions within prisons.
These principles focus on energy efficiency, good air quality, and ample natural light, which not only reduce environmental impact but also improve the physical and mental health of inmates.Such designs show how prisons can be built to be both eco-friendly and supportive of inmate rehabilitation.. 5.
Ethical considerations in prison design.
Yvonne delves into the ethical challenges inherent in her field, particularly the tension between the need to improve existing correctional facilities and the ultimate goal of reducing overall prison populations.Some of the work the Construction Innovation Hub is doing now is about bringing together all of the different puzzle pieces.
Moreover, it’s important to recognise that the Roadmap to 2030 sets everything out in a way which makes it easier for people to plan, looking at what will happen in the first two years of our progression, then two to five years, and five to ten.This will enable people to plan, take advantage of opportunities, and evolve.
When things are backed up from the client side, the supply chain can have confidence in evolving their approach and the departments will have confidence procuring this way as well.We’ll find that small steps make a significant difference.
