To date, buildings use 40% of the world’s energy and emit 20% of the world’s CO2. Therefore the EU developed the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive, that requires all new buildings to be nearly zero-energy by the end of 2020. This is only possible when the buildings themselves produce renewable energy. This requires ample use of...

This research is aimed at the necessity and the design of a new city bridge in the city of Rotterdam, the Netherlands, and how this design could be parametrically optimised using the modern digital tools that are available. Through analysis of the issues regarding the connection of Rotterdam South over the Nieuwe Maas, the city’s plans and...

Modern office buildings commonly have fully glazed façades in order to reflect a luxurious appearance while maximizing the daylight penetration to the interior space. Though glass façades provide plentiful natural light, the amount of energy needed to maintain indoor thermal comfort poses a great challenge to the designers with the cost of what...

The pop-up office graduation project is inspired by technologies developed in the field of fabric products (structures and technologies that can be efficiently incorporated within the field of construction). The aim is to come up with a new approach for mobile temporary structures and more specifically a working space unit (high-tech but with...

The objective of my graduation project was to understand the lack of loadbearing Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) structures and why in most of the example FRP components are being used as cladding. In order to do that I decided to design an FRP loadbearing canopy, which had to be a shell structure with large spans between its support points. In...

The cost associated with producing concrete elements has a direct link to its geometry. Further cost is incurred if panels have variable thicknesses throughout their cross-section. These variations can take the form of edge-returns in cladding elements (required for detailing), stiffening ribs (required for structure) or simply surface textures ...

To obtain free form geometry for the roof structure, bamboo canes are pre-bent. Thin glass is also cold bent and cladded. The tolerances that occur in bamboo construction are accounted by this flexibility of thin glass. Hence bending behavior of both the materials is studied. Different types of cladding options and connection systems are...

This research studies the use of thin glass on adaptive facade panels with the objective of increasing the knowledge of the use of this material in the built environment. Thin glass is a material that is harder, stronger and flexible than common glass. As some of the main current challenges faced in glass design are material use and building...

The aim of this thesis, is to explore the design possibilities of a glass folded plate facade, in which glass is understood as a planar structural element. This design is proposed having in mind the way the folded plate principle, stiffens the facade against buckling and lateral wind load, having an even distribution of the flow of forces. In...

Smilde, J.A. (author)
The conversation about the restoration materialization of historic buildings is an ongoing debate. Additions are allowed only if they do not detract from the interesting parts of the building, integrate harmoniously, yet are distinguishable to prevent architectural falsification of the monument. Completely transparent additions to historic...

The thesis investigates the design flexibility and adaptability of the 2ndSkin refurbishment project created by a team of TU Delft. The export of the design concept in the German residential market takes place through the study. The first part is the analysis of Europe’s building stock along with the German, the comparison between reference...

This research aims to contribute on the scientific and applicable research in Structural glass in the Built environment. Specifically the use of cast glass in a dry-assembled arched bridge application in which cast glass blocks are used to form the span of the structure. The research consists of three important phases. By following a project...

Extensive research shows that not many examples exist regarding glass columns and the main reason is that safety is difficult to guarantee in a design. Recent technologies however have now created sufficient boundary conditions to provide this safety in a design. Two glass columns have therefore been designed to replace the concrete pillars...

The aim of the research is to investigate the common ground between restoration practices and structural glass technology, as a new methodology to exploit our built heritage; a distinguishable, yet discreet restoration approach. Transparency is introduced by means of structural glass in an attempt to reinstate the image of the monument, allowing...

Climate change and environmental issues are important in today’s society. The earth is being depleted of its resources and the changing climate could irreversibly change the planet for the worse. Sustainable buildings are mostly optimised for the use phase but neglect end of life scenarios. Buildings are often demolished and materials are dumped...
