Architectuurhistoricus Wouter van Elburg deed onderzoek naar de ruimte achter Nederlandse

voordeuren: de entree. Zijn gedachte was dat deze ruimte een rol speelt in hoe een huis verder is ingedeeld. Op basis van 2500 plattegronden van huizen tussen 1550 en 1950 identificeerde hij acht verschillende entreeruimtes.

Voor het onderzoek werd gekeken in de woonhuizencollectie van Vereniging Hendrick de Keyser én, uit oogpunt van representativiteit, naar woonhuisplattegronden die bij de Rijksdiens...

Restauratie van een Utrechts stadsicoon

Een eeuw na afronding van de vorige grote restauratie was de Utrechtse Domtoren toe aan groot onderhoud. Wat komt er anno 2024 bij kijken wanneer een grootschalig binnenstedelijk maar vakspecifiek restauratieproject

moet worden opgetuigd?

Icoon in de steigers doet verslag van de restauratie van de Domtoren, die werd voorbereid vanaf 2016 en uitgevoerd tussen 2020 en 2024. De organisatie van het project, de onderzoeken die zijn gedaan, de plannen die zij...

This dissertation concerns the optimisation of the use of spatial data from the National Continuously Operating Reference Stations (NCORS) in Thailand. Thailand, among many countries, has established NCORS to observe and process the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals into spatial data to improve the positional accuracy in spatially related activities. Despite many potential user groups, only some of them appeared actually to use NCORS data. In order to investigate and recommend...

Despite the odds, manufacturing is not in terminal decay in western cities. On the contrary, it is at the opening of a new chapter. Urban manufacturing can help cities to be more innovative, circular, inclusive and resilient.

Since the 1970s, cities world-wide have been witness to radical de-industrialisation. Manufacturing was considered incompatible with urban life and was actively pushed out. As economies have grown, public officials and developers have instinctively shifted their priori...

Structuralism represents an architecture that can interact, grow and adapt. The buildings can be recognised by their vivid open structures, composition of small units, and a spatial organisation like a city. As a reaction to CIAM functionalism, the avant-garde members of Team 10 proposed inclusive and social space and a more human form of urbanism and architecture. Starting in 1959, Dutch Structuralism became a very influential movement in the development of architecture in The Netherlands.

Which approaches and scenarios of smart (multimodal) mobility can be tested and applied to the future urban development of Haven-Stad, Amsterdam?

This is the main question the participants of the 2019 Summer School started working on. Included in this book are the results of this intense week of work done by 41 professionals, academics, and students from over 20 countries. Furthermore, invited experts from academia, government, and practice share their experience on urban development and mobi...

Multi-family buildings usually have a fixed subdivision in units with standard layouts. However, households are all different and change over time, as so do their needs and desires. With this in mind, the Open Building concept, which originated in the 1960s, proposed two levels of intervention and decision-making: the (collective) ‘support’ and (individual) ‘infill’. Although the Open Building approach has been embraced conceptually, with a new wave of interest in the Netherlands in r...

In this work Deborah Hauptmann deals with the relationships between mind, body, architecture and the city. Major authors ranging from Henri Bergson and Walter Benjamin to Henri Lefebvre and Gilles Deleuze are discussed in order to open up thinking on the roles of perception and the cognitive sciences in today’s society. Various themes are explored. Matter and mind are considered as kinds of multiplicities that affect our distinctions between subject and object. A theoretical framework is ca...

The Architectural Record during its midcentury years of 1942 to 1967, was a riveting centre of architectural journalism following and participating in the changing development of the architectural profession. Through the Second World War and the Korean War that brought functionalist modernism to the foreword and through the emerging consumer market of the 1950s, the magazine’s editors’ mission was one of “helping this new-born architectural infant to learn to walk, talk, and attain his ...
