| Newcastle and London-based urban designers, landscape architects and masterplanners, Colour, are finding new ways of implementing the latest technology in its work thanks to a partnership with Teesside University Colour has taken on two members of staff at its Newcastle headquarters with the help of different schemes run by the University to help companies recruit talent and develop new skills in their business. The company has used a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) and a Knowledge Exchange Internship (KEI) to investigate ways of implementing BIM within its business. Henry Fenby-Taylor was taken on by Colour in November 2013 on a KTP as a BIM system designer to apply BIM project management standards and to enhance software productivity and efficiency. KTPs typically last for two years and are a collaboration between a University and a company. They are part-funded by Innovate UK to help businesses improve their competitiveness and productivity through the better use of knowledge, technology and skills. The project has already proved so successful that Henry has been appointed by the Landscape Institute, the Royal Chartered Institute for Landscape Architects, to write a major new book on BIM for landscape. | |||
