Intriago Zambrano, J.C. (author)Recently, there has been a growing need for sustainable agriculture to increase food security, alleviate poverty, and contribute to climate change mitigation. Smallholder farmers (SFs) play a key role in this endeavor as they are a considerable segment of the global farming population. Despite their relevance, SFs face several challenges that...doctoral thesis 2024

França de Mendonça Filho, F. (author)Building materials generally perform poorly in a high temperature environment. Residential fires and fires in road tunnels are common occurrences. Furthermore, some factories have no option besides exposing their infrastructure to very high temperatures due to the nature of their operation logistics. Therefore, there is a clear need for...doctoral thesis 2024

Pasini, M. (author)A large-scale quantum network, where many nodes are connected via entanglement and can share and process quantum information, will allow applications that are now unattainable. While some are known, ranging from distributed quantum computing to enhanced quantum sensing and quantum communication, the full potential of such a fundamentally new...doctoral thesis 2024

Cankurtaran, P. (author), Beverland, Michael B. (author), Farrelly, Francis J. (author)The value of design as a means of innovation has long been recognized. More recently, interest in how design can create value has moved from a functional to a strategic focus whereby the design concept defines the way in which the whole firm competes. This is known as “design orientation,” although research on the nature of this construct...journal article 2024

Eijkelenboom, A.M. (author), Hobo, Iris (author), Bleeker, René (author), van den Berg, Daniël (author)Design solutions bases on Evidence Based Design (EBD) principles vary due to the context and organizational aspects of hospitals. This paper explains how EBD principles were included during the design process of an academic hospital, including design guidelines that were developed with a representative group of key stakeholders from the...journal article 2024

(author)Real-world applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in architecture have been explored more recently at Technical University (TU) Delft by integrating AI in Design-to-Robotic-Production-Assembly and -Operation (D2RPA&O) methods. These embed robotics into building processes and buildings by linking computational design with robotic...conference paper 2024

(author), Pera, M.S. (author)Web search has evolved into a platform people rely on for opinion formation on debated topics. Yet, pursuing this search intent can carry serious consequences for individuals and society and involves a high risk of biases. We argue that web search can and should empower users to form opinions responsibly and that the information retrieval...conference paper 2024

Wang, T. (author), Qian, S. (author), Zhu, Haiou (author), Goossens, R.H.M. (author), Giunti, Guido (author), Melles, M. (author)Design is expanding its influence on shaping future healthcare. Ideally, designers apply human-centered design and human factors that introduce theory, principles, and methods to design to optimize people’s healthcare experiences in both digital and non-digital environments. To discuss and implement experience design in healthcare, consensus...book chapter 2024

Liu Cheng, Alexander (author)Discussions of intelligence in the built-environment began in the late 1960s and early 1970s [1]–[7]. They belonged to a broader technical and technological discourse, engaged across a variety of domains and disciplines, to explore potential opportunities entailed by the Information Age. During this nascent period, and partly due to the novelty...doctoral thesis 2023

Levajac, V. (author)Quantum technology is a developing field of sciencewhere devices possess novel and superior functionalities thanks to their quantum-mechanical behaviour at the nanometer scale. A typical example is a quantum computer, where information is stored in quantum states of its quantum bits. By manipulating entangled and superposition states of these...doctoral thesis 2023

Allaart, M.T. (author)One of the main challenges society currently deals with is the depletion of fossil fuels. To navigate this issue, we must embrace the concept of circularity and turn waste into a resource. Waste streams are omnifarious and their conversion into new chemical building blocks is not always trivial. Luckily, we can take a look at nature’s problem...doctoral thesis 2023

Sturkenboom, F.J.J.M. (author)For a long time Wright’s architecture has been theorized in terms of space. Although space was certainly a key-word in Wright’s discourse, we can neither see it as an objective, three-dimensional space, nor as a more subjective, intimate space. In Wright’s architecture, the third dimension implies time, an axis mundi, a story about the earth as...doctoral thesis 2023

van Bergen, J. (author)Sandy shores around the world suffer from coastal erosion due to land subsidence, a lack of sediment input and sea level rise. This often leads to the construction of hard structures, such as sea walls and breakwaters, that consolidate the coastal zone but disrupt the dynamic system of coastal deltas. To compensate for coastal erosion in a more...doctoral thesis 2023

Mulder, K.B. (author), Lubelli, B. (author), Dijkhuis, Edwin (author)Walls overgrown with plants can have a positive impact on urban comfort and contribute to biodiversity in the city. In particular, quay walls, thanks to their close contact with water, have the potential to be ecologically engineered to encourage the growth of herbaceous plants. Different factors can affect growth of vegetation on walls. This...journal article 2023

(author)Identifying the diverse and often competing values of citizens, and resolving the consequent public value conflicts, are of significant importance for inclusive and integrated urban development. Scholars have highlighted that relational, value-laden urban space gives rise to many diverse conflicts that vary both spatially and temporally....journal article 2023

Vleugel, J (author), Bal, Frans (author)Densely populated areas are major sources of air, soil and water pollution. Agriculture, manufacturing, consumer households and road traffic all have their share. This is particularly true for the country featured in this paper: the Netherlands. Continuous pollution of the air and soil manifests itself as acification, decalcification and...conference paper 2023

Jansen, B. (author), Duijghuisen, J.A.K. (author), van Bortel, G.A. (author), Gruis, V.H. (author)The built environment can become more sustainable by gradually replacing building components with circular ones. Kitchens are a logical component to be made circular, given their relatively short lifespan, product-based nature, and affordable prototypes. Since various designs for circular kitchens can be developed, understanding the feasibility...journal article 2023

Reinders, L.G.A.J. (author)Doing architecture is an act of bricolage. New things take shape out of the existing. The architect makes do with the materials at hand. Accidents happen, incidents occur, circumstances meet. The site-specific nature of the architectural project opens up questions on how to work with materials at hand and as found, and how to capture, approach...conference paper 2023

Hendrickx, G.G. (author), Antolínez, José A. Á. (author), Herman, P.M.J. (author)In recent years, coastal management has been facing new challenges: socio-economic growth and consequent climate change impose new boundary conditions pushing coastal systems towards unseen states. For adaptation and mitigation strategies as well as risk management, the resilience of systems to these projected changes must be tested and...journal article 2023

(author)Changing (wind) climate might influence the magnitude, direction, and frequency of wave systems (Lobeto et al., 2021). However, in coastal engineering applications, generalized wave parameters are commonly used in climate change assessments with the risk of, for example, misrepresenting the nearshore transformation of wind-driven wave climates ...conference paper 2023
