Beyond good intentions
Building passport for sustainable conservation of built heritage

Why meanings and activities matter
2024 || Paperback || Marjolein Overtoom || TU Delft

A review of literature from housing studies, indoor environmental quality, architectural desi...

2018 || Paperback || Els Leclercq || TU Delft Open

Thus, it wants to discuss the specificity of an eastern Mediterranean port city by addressing it on eye-level through the exper...
