Landscape design focuses on the construction and articulation of outdoor space and results in landscape architectonic compositions. In order to communicate about three-dimensional forms and functions, vocabulary, representations, and tools (in terms of spatial-visual characteristics) are of fundamental importance for landscape architects to describe, interpret, and manipulate landscape spaces. While combining design vocabulary and landscape indicators, qualitative and quantitative mapping app...

In the Geomatics domain, a point cloud refers to a data set that records the coordinates and other attributes of a huge number of points. Conceptually, each of the attributes can be regarded as a dimension to represent a specific type of information, such as time and Level of Importance (LoI). Drastically increasing collection of high dimensional point clouds raises essential demand for smart and highly efficient data management solutions. However, effective tools are missing. File-based solu...

This thesis examines the energy performance of dwellings of Dutch non-profit housing associations towards a future sustainable housing stock. Improving the energy performance of dwellings aims to improve the quality of dwellings and therewith to lower the actual energy consumption. Lowering the actual energy consumption of dwellings contributes to the battle against climate change. This thesis addresses four studies. Study 1 assesses the energy performance progress of over two million dwellin...

Jules Hofman behoort tot de belangrijkste Antwerpse vertegenwoordigers van de art nouveau.

De variatie ervan op middeleeuwse en vroegmoderne Nederlandse gebouwen is ronduit verbluffend; er zijn op- en inschriften, kort of lang, in het Latijn of de volkstaal, met en zonder afbeeldingen, met jaartallen in Romeinse of Arabische cijfers of weergegeven als chronogrammen. Sommige gedenkstenen zijn rijk versierd, an...
