Onder impuls van de aanhoudende, wereldwijde toename van het verkeer en de verstedelijkingsgraad treedt de lawaaiproblematiek in en rond gebouwen steeds meer op de voorgrond. In deze context zijn de isolatie van het lucht-, contact- en gevelgeluid, naast de geluidabsorptie, belangrijke prestatiekenmerken van gebouwen. Dit boek stelt de lezer in staat om die kenmerken te begrijpen, te beoordelen, te voorspellen en te verbeteren. Bouwakoestiek is bedoeld voor studenten, ingenieurs, architecten,...

This publication presents the study of urban transformation and opportunities for urban upgrading through the rehabilitation and recycling of neighbourhoods, exploring the past and present of the housing estates of the main Galician industrial cities in order to discover, on different scales, how the public housing projects built in the second half of the twentieth century were formed, how their urban integration process has taken shape, what the open spaces associated with public housing are...

Cities never function in isolation but as nodes in overarching systems characterised by flows of goods, people, and information. To fully understand the evolution of cities, a relational approach is needed, which investigates cities in relation to other cities and urban regions. While a significant part of urban system research has focused on aspects such as the concentration of populations and economic activities, the understanding of the actual networks connecting cities and their impact is...

With increasing advancements in information and manufacturing technologies, there is an ever‑growing need for innovative integration and application of computational design and robotic fabrication in architecture. Hybrid Intelligence in Architectural Robotic Materialization (HI-ARM) provides methods and frameworks that target this need. HI-ARM introduces methodologies and technologies that incorporate computational, fabrication and material intelligence in integrated design-to-robotic-produ...

De vijfde druk van Basisboek Bouwkunde is grondig vernieuwd. Basisboek Bouwkunde behandelt helder en toegankelijk alle bouwfasen, vanaf het ontwerp tot en met de oplevering, in theorie en praktijk, met volledige integratie van constructieleer en technologie.

Met duidelijke foto’s en 2D- en 3D-tekeningen maakt Basisboek Bouwkunde het gehele bouwproces snel inzichtelijk. Wat zijn belangrijke basisbegrippen en constructies? Welke basiskennis heb je nodig om andere vakken binnen Bouwkunde te ku...

Faced with the highly overlapping factors of the external disturbances -- natural disasters caused by extreme climate change, and internal interactions -- the contradiction between natural conditions and rapid urbanization, traditional spatial planning and design used to pursue economic development could not be flexible enough to respond to the dynamic and uncertain future of the Pearl River Delta (PRD).

Therefore, spatial planning and design should pay great attention to the fragile natural ...

Public bodies acting in the construction industry have to deal with major transitional issues, such as globalization and urbanization, population ageing, climate change and digitalization. Moreover, the public domain, private parties and society are becoming increasingly interdependent. As a result, safeguarding public values in the built environment has become ever more complex.

Public bodies face the challenge to adhere to collective public values while confronted with private and societal...
