Stations as Nodes

exploring the role of stations in future metropolitan areas from a French and Dutch perspective

2019 || Paperback || Manuela Triggianese e.a. || TU Delft Open

At the main point of intersection between the railway and the city, stations are key elements in the organization of the intermodal transport as well as catalysts of urban developments in metropolises, medium and small cities. The focus of this publication is to explore the enrichment of a renewed approach of railway stations as intermodal nodes, therefore acting as breeding grounds for both urban and social developments.

In this publication, invited experts from practice and knowledge instit...

Urban ­Renewal ­Decision-Making in China: Stakeholders, Process, and System ­Improvement

2020 || Paperback || Taozhi Zhuang || TU Delft Open

To meet the growing rigid demand of urban housing, urban renewal has played a significant role, which significantly promotes the urban prosperity in China. However, at the same time, many problems occurred through large-scale urban renewal projects. To avoid unintended consequences that occurred in urban renewal, how these decisions were made can be one key focus. To better achieve the goal of sustainability, this research aims to deepen the understanding of urban renewal decision-making in C...

Building with Nature perspectives

cross-disciplinary BwN approaches in coastal regions

2021 || Paperback || Janneke van Bergen e.a. || TU Delft Open

This publication offers an overview of the latest cross-disciplinary developments in the field of Building with Nature (BwN) for the protection of coastal regions. The key philosophy of BwN is the employment of natural processes to serve societal goals, such as flood safety. The starting point is a systems-based approach, making interventions that employ the shaping forces of the natural system to perform measures by self-regulation. Initial pilots of this innovative approach originate from c...

Space Layout and Energy ­Performance

Parametric optimisation of space layout for the energy ­performance of office buildings

2021 || Paperback || Tiantian Du || TU Delft Open

Architectural design greatly influences building energy performance (BEP), and energy-efficient design is therefore often studied. Architectural space layout also can affect BEP. However, only a few of the numerous studies on energy-efficient design considered the effect of space layout. Within these studies, the isolated effect of space layout on the BEP has hardly have been analysed systematically.

The framework of Performative Computational Architecture (PCA) had been proven to be effectiv...

Re-use of Building Products in the Netherlands

The development of a metabolism based assessment approach

|| Paperback || Loriane Icibaci || TU Delft Open

Over the years, the consumption of materials for construction exceeded more than half of the total materials consumed in the Netherlands, and construction waste exceeded the volume of solid waste produced by households. Since the introduction of the "Ladder van Lansink" (in the 1970’s) and the further development of the European Waste Framework Directives followed by the Circular Economy concept, waste prevention has been considered a priority measure. Whereas the goals to improve waste man...

Home ­Occupant Archetypes

Profiling householders’ comfort- and energy-related behaviours with mixed-methods

2019 || Paperback || Marco A. Ortiz || TU Delft Open

This research aimed at understanding how occupants use energy in their homes to make themselves feel more comfortable. This was done to propose customized environmental characteristics that could improve the occupants’ comfort while reducing energy consumption. To conceptualize such bespoke environmental features, occupant archetypes were produced based on the occupants’ intentions and motivations behind comfort behaviours.

A mixed-methods human-centered design approach was developed for ...

Visibility, ­democratic public space and socially inclusive cities

2020 || Paperback || Ceren Sezer || TU Delft Open

This research introduces the concept of visibility as a useful tool to assess the democratic features of public spaces. It understands democratic public spaces as open spaces, which are accessible to all and allow different cultural expressions for individuals and groups. The concept of visibility refers to the visual perception of the observable features of distinctive urban groups in public space, which give evidence of how these groups engage with, shape, and construct public space. The re...

Anchoring the design process

A framework to make the designerly way of thinking explicit in architectural design education

2020 || Paperback || Elise van Dooren || TU Delft Open

This thesis proposes a framework to address the design process in design education. Building upon the assumption that teachers, being professional designers, do not discuss the design process in the architectural design studio and do not have a vocabulary to do so, five generic elements or anchor points are defined which represent the basic design skills. The validity of the framework and the assumption is tested respectively in interviews with a variety of designers and in observations of di...
