Urban and regional heat island adaptation measures in the Netherlands
Paperback || Leyre Echevarría Icaza || TU Delft Open
The aim of this issue of A+BE is to propose urban design guidelines to positively influence the heat islands in Dutch cities and regions. As an architect and urban planner, the challenge was to provide a series of spatial planning guidelines that had to be open enough to be compatible with other urban planning priorities and accurate enough to mitigate the Urban Heat Island (UHI). This thesis is thus marked by this tension between a generic reflection on the integration of scientific findings...

Paperback || Leeke Reinders || TU Delft Open || met inkijkexemplaar
Dit boek biedt een fijnmazig inzicht in de stedelijke ruimte van een naoorlogse wijk als object van politiek beleid en als alledaagse leefwereld. In hoofdstuk 2 wordt naar aanleiding van populaire representaties van de naoorlogse buitenwijken een aanzet gegeven voor een middle-ground perspectief, waarbij een discursieve benadering (aandacht voor beelden, verhalen en symbolen) gecombineerd wordt met een politieke benadering die de sociaalruimtelijke praktijken van bewoners en professionals pla...

Form follows feeling
the acquisition of design expertise and the function of aesthesis in the design process
Paperback || Terrence M. Curry || TU Delft Open
While the consideration of functional and technical criteria, as well as a sense of coherence are basic requirements for solving a design problem; it is the ability to induce an intended quality of aesthetic experience that is the hallmark of design expertise. Expert designers possess a highly developed sense of design, or what in this research is called aesthesis. Reflection on 25 years teaching design in the USA, Hungary, and China led to the observation that most successful design students...
