realms of urban design
mapping sustainability
2018 || Paperback || Alenka Fikfak e.a. || TU Delft Open
The traditional thematic realms of urban design, such as liveability, social interaction, and quality of urban life, considered to be closely related to urban form and specifically to public space, have long since been recognised as important, and have given the discipline a certain identity. The book Realms of Urban Design: Mapping Sustainability is certainly rooted in this fundamental urban design thinking, but its main contribution belongs to the second part of the book’s title – disco...

integrated urban planning
territories, resources and directions
2018 || Paperback || Enrico Anguillari e.a. || TU Delft Open
The purpose of this book is to present ongoing research from the universities involved in the project Creating the Network of Knowledge Labs for Sustainable and Resilient Environments (KLABS). The papers published in this book show that the recent and current research in those institutions focuses on the directions of development of IUP, the processes that support sustainable use of natural resources and their application in the Western Balkan and some other European countries. Each essay aim...

Towards a Method of Participatory Planning in an Emerging Metropolitan Delta in the Context of Climate Change
Paperback || Veronica Zagare || TU Delft Open
The Parana River is the third largest river in the American continent, after the Mississippi and the Amazon. Instead of flowing directly to the sea, it flows to the Rio de la Plata (located between Argentina and Uruguay) through a complex delta system.
Although this delta can be considered an extreme and particular case, many of the conflicts that can be found in this area replicate in other deltas around the world. Urbanizing deltas are subjected to pressures related to urban growth and clim...

Physiomimetic Façade Design
Systematics for a function-oriented transfer of biological principles to thermally-adaptive façade design concepts
Paperback || Susanne Gosztonyi || TU Delft Open
Adaptive façades are designed to actively regulate the exchange of material and energy flows and thus improve the balance between comfort and energy consumption. However, their technical complexity leads to higher development efforts, maintenance and costs, and ultimately fewer implementations.
Embedded adaptive functions could be an opportunity to reduce these drawbacks. If embedded adaptivity is to work within a design, the particularities of geometry and material arrangements must be co...

Business Innovation Towards a Circular Economy
An Ecosystem Perspective
Paperback || Jan Konietzko || TU Delft Open
We currently live in a carbon intensive linear economy. On the basis of burning fossil fuels, we take, make and waste an increasing amount of materials. This has pushed us against serious planetary boundaries. Radical reductions in environmental impact are needed over the coming decades. Entire economies and societies will have to reorganize. A promising candidate to support this reorganizing is a circular economy. It cuts waste, emissions and pollution, and it keeps the value of products, co...

Gunawan Tjahjono & Josef Prijotomo
2017 || Paperback || Gunawan Tjahjono e.a. || TU Delft Open || met inkijkexemplaar
In 2002, Gunawan Tjahjono opened his inaugural speech at University of Indonesia with a reference to Vincent Van Romondt, the last remaining Dutch tutor of architecture in Indonesia, who had pioneered an approach that challenged Indonesians to think about the relationship between architecture and 'nationbuilding'. Since independence, the topic of 'towards an Indonesian architecture,' has received various interpretations, with numerous references to Van Romondt. Josef Prijotomo, one of the mos...

Socio-spatial change in Lithuania
Paperback || Rūta Ubarevičienė || TU Delft Open
This issue of A+BE sets out to contribute to filling the current knowledge gaps concerning the recent socio-spatial transformation processes and their consequences in Lithuania. The thesis aimed to contribute answers to the following questions:
- What are the main features and drivers of socio-spatial change in post-socialist Lithuania?
- Why, despite the growing economy and improvements in the standard of living, Lithuania is facing major challenges related to extreme population decline and...

Spatial Planning for Urban Resilience in the Face of the Flood Risk
Institutional Actions, Opportunities and Challenges
Paperback || Meng Meng || TU Delft Open
The research was inspired by the increasing impact of extreme weather events and changing climate patterns on flood-prone regions and cities, and the consequent human and economic costs. Despite global efforts for flood resilience and climate adaptation involving climate analysts, economists, social scientists, politicians, hydrological engineers, spatial planners, and policymakers, it is only partially clear how best to construct resilience measures and implement concrete initiatives. The co...

The building design, systems engineering and performance analysis of plant factories for urban food production
Paperback || Luuk Graamans || TU Delft Open
Expanding cities across the world rely increasingly on the global food network, but should they? Population growth, urbanisation and climate change place pressure on this network, bringing its resilience into question. For decades urban agriculture has been discussed in popular media and academia as a potential solution to improve food security, quality and sustainability. The new idol in this discussion is the plant factory: A fully closed system for crop production. Arrays of LEDs provide l...

Interplay between inter-organizational structures and interpersonal relationships in project-based organizations in the construction industry
Paperback || Jelle Koolwijk || TU Delft Open
The aim of this PhD project was to explore the multi-level interplay between the inter-organizational structures and interpersonal relations in building project organizations. In the first two studies, quantitative approaches were used to validate assumptions about how inter-organizational structures are shaped by actors and how interpersonal relationships affect the effectiveness of project teams in the construction industry. These two studies were integrated in a third qualitative case stud...
