Adaptive facade network – Europe

2019 || Paperback || Andreas Luible || TU Delft Open

Energy efficient buildings significantly contribute to meeting the EU climate and energy sustainability targets for 2020 as approximately one-third of all end-user energy in Europe today is consumed by space heating/cooling, ventilation and lighting of buildings. In this context, the energy performance of future building envelopes will play a key role.

The main aim of COST Action TU1403 with 120 participants from 26 European countries is to harmonise, share and disseminate technological know...

Designing the urban microclimate

a framework for a design-decision support tool for the dissemination of knowledge on the urban microclimate to the urban design process

2019 || Paperback || Marjolein Pijpers-van Esch || TU Delft Open

This doctoral thesis presents research on the integration and transfer of knowledge from the specialized field of urban microclimatology into the generic field of urban design. Both fields are studied in order to identify crosslinks and reveal gaps. The main research question of the research is: How can the design of urban neighbourhoods contribute to microclimates that support physical well-being and what kind of information and form of presentation does the urban designer need in order to m...

Urban form and greenhouse gas emissions

findings, strategies, and design decision support technologies

2019 || Paperback || Michael West Mehaffy || TU Delft Open

The research reported in this dissertation contains three complementary and overlapping parts:

One, “findings”: It assesses the factors of urban morphology that contribute to increased rates of greenhouse gas emissions per capita, and the ways they interact. It finds a significant but underrepresented set of factors, distinct from but relating the factors at the individual building scale and the scale of regional transportation systems.

Two, “strategies”: It assesses the methodologies...

Evolutionary design assistants for architecture

2019 || Paperback || N. Onur Sönmez || TU Delft Open

In its parallel pursuit of an increased competitivity for design offices and more pleasurable and easier workflows for designers, artificial design intelligence is a technical, intellectual, and political challenge. While human-machine cooperation has become commonplace through Computer Aided Design (CAD) tools, a more improved collaboration and better support appear possible only through an endeavor into a kind of artificial design intelligence, which is more sensitive to the human perceptio...

From city’s station to station city

an integrative spatial approach to the (re)development of station areas

2019 || Paperback || Ana Luísa Martins da Conceição || TU Delft Open

Since its origin, the railway station has had a complicated relationship with the city, demanding periodical updates, particularly regarding spatial issues. With the aim of improving the liveability of station areas, current redevelopment projects are reconceptualising them as balanced transport ‘nodes’ and ‘places’ in the city. However, the proposed spatial solutions do not fully support the sought after economic, social and environmental performances. These intentions continue to be...

Flowscapes

designing infrastructure as landscape

2019 || Paperback || Steffen Nijhuis e.a. || TU Delft Open

Social, cultural and technological developments of our society are demanding a fundamental review of the planning and design of its landscapes and infrastructures, in particular in relation to environmental issues and sustainability. Transportation, green and water infrastructures are important agents that facilitate processes that shape the built environment and its contemporary landscapes. With movement and flows at the core, these landscape infrastructures facilitate aesthetic, functional,...

How space is making Rotterdam warmer, how this affects the health of its inhabitants, and what can be done about it

2019 || Paperback || Frank van der Hoeven e.a. || TU Delft Open

Heat waves will occur in Rotterdam with greater frequency in the future. Those affected most will be the elderly – a group that is growing in size. In the light of the Paris heat wave of August 2003 and the one in Rotterdam in July 2006, mortality rates among the elderly in particular are likely to rise in the summer.

Method

The aim of the Hotterdam research project was to gain a better understanding of urban heat. The heat was measured and the surface energy balance modelled from that pers...

Partnering for climate change adaptations by Dutch housing associations

2019 || Paperback || Martin Jan Roders || TU Delft Open

Climate change can no longer be ignored. It is globally recognised that the evidence for climate change is unequivocal and that action needs to be taken in order to address its negative effects. These effects, such as warmer and drier summers and more extreme rainfall, may threaten the quality of life of those living in urban environments. To limit these threats, a number of climate change adaptation measures can be taken to pre-empt the negative effects of climate change.

The challenge of in...
