Wetsteijn, Frank (author)The built environment has a huge contribution to the total CO2 and waste production, due to their linear approach of “take, make & dispose”. A shift in construction is needed towards the circular economy to close material loops, decrease and eventually stop the depletion of the earth’s resources. The construction project organisation could...master thesis 2021

Gerding, Ditte (author), Wamelink, J.W.F. (author), Leclercq, E.M. (author)Circularity aims to reduce waste by closing and narrowing resource loops and by extending the lifetime of materials and products. As a consequence of this fundamentally different approach to construction practices, implementation entails a different organization of the building process. The purpose of this research is to make recommendations...conference paper 2020

Lei, Jimmy (author)Today’s land grabs are a continuation of past imperialist desires, with a clear distinction that today’s capitalist domination is associated with the transnationalisation of the class structure and ignores the ethnicity and civility narratives of the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries. This investigation will establish that the desire of the...master thesis 2019

Simões Kauter, Pierre (author)In the context of western linear resource culture, this work represents a socio-technical approach to circularity in the built environment. Object-oriented programming is explored as design method for collaborative domestic environments, in particular to promote circular cooking adapted to local socio-cultural practices.master thesis 2019

Gerding, Ditte (author)The purpose of this master thesis is to gather information from current practices and make recommendations to facilitate implementation of circularity in the building process. The past years, circularity has become a popular term in the built environment. This approach prefers a more circular way of perceiving the building process. Literature...master thesis 2019

van der Wagen, Wytske (author), Pieters, W. (author)Victims are often conceptualized as single, human and static entities with certain risk factors that make them more vulnerable and attractive for offenders. This framework is challenged by emerging forms of high-tech cybercrime, such as ransomware, botnets and virtual theft, in which the offender targets a composite of human, technical and...journal article 2018

Peters, T. (author)Differences in interpretation occur in everyday life. In projects, a set of requirements is developed to achieve a defined goal. Specifying these requirements may establish consensus on how to turn requirements into a preferred solution. However, this consensus achieved cannot hold. We argue that the perceptions, or ‘Modes’ actors have also...master thesis 2016

Marskamp, M. (author)While network perspectives in housing studies have gained currency over the last decade, research looking at the actor-networks of housing management is limited. This is remarkable given the recognition for actor-network theory (Latour, 2005) in the related fields of urban studies (Farías and Bender, 2010) and planning theory (De Roo et al.,...master thesis 2014
