Over the last decades, the perception of glass in the engineering world has changed from that of a brittle, fragile material to a reliable structural component of high compressive load-bearing capacity. Although the structural applications of glass in architecture are continuously increasing, they are dominated by a considerable geometrical limitation: the 2-dimensionality imposed by the prevailing float glass industry. Cast glass can overcome this limitation: solid 3-dimensional glass compon...

Stop working hard to resolve problems. Particularly those problems that keep returning, but in a different form. Look for the reason why the problem in question is a good solution. Discover what’s blocked. Moving Questions help you to do this.

By asking Moving Questions, you introduce movement to situations that are stuck. Both professionally and personally. For you and other people. By asking questions such as: Who does this problem belong to? Is it yours or does it belong somewhere else?...

Wave against the current by asking the right questions.

Barbara Hoogenboom, Jan Jacob Stam en Bibi Schreuder have combined their knowledge and translated

it into questions that you can ask per theme. 224 questions spread over 45 themes. Every question has the potential to help you a step further.

Geodesign is a GIS-based planning and design method, which tightly couples the creation of design proposals with impact simulations informed by geographic contexts.

It includes project conceptualization, analysis, design specification, stakeholder participation and collaboration.

This academic publication brings together a wide var...

The Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment at TU Delft houses a unique teaching collection of over 300 chairs. Unlike any other collection in the university, and because a collection’s purpose and needs deviate somewhat from the more common features of a given university department, its position can be challenging in terms of management, funding, and goals.

This publication discusses projects around the Chair Collection because this collection served as a test case for possible n...

Leonardo da Vinci is the archetypal universal man, a multi-talented genius who left an indelible mark on all the realms of art and knowledge he ventured into – painting, drawing and architecture, natural science, anatomy, mathematics, engineering and astronomy. His genius as a painter was reinforced by an analytical understanding of not only the human body but also nature and the physical laws of light. On the five-hundredth anniversary of Leonardo’s death in 1519, this book celebrates th...
