Gonçalves, Joana (author), Mateus, Ricardo (author), Silvestre, José Dinis (author), Pereira Roders, A. (author), Bragança, Luís (author)This research applies the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) to measure the gap between designers’ intentions towards heritage conservation and the actual design decisions. It aims at contributing to identify which psychological constructs (attitude, norm, perception of control) are hindering the implementation of sustainable conservation...journal article 2021

Guillen Mandujano, Georgina (author), Quist, J.N. (author), Hamari, Juho (author)Considering how wicked problems, such as overconsumption, climate change, or the management of the COVID-19 pandemic rely on multiple stakeholder groups’ deliberation, this study investigates gamification's potential in participatory backcasting processes to support the emergence and growth of social innovations towards sustainability....journal article 2021

Gonçalves, Joana (author), Mateus, Ricardo (author), Silvestre, José Dinis (author), Pereira Roders, A. (author)Despite the recognised importance of built heritage for sustainable development, and the multiple tools, recommendations, guidelines, and policies developed in recent years to support decision-making, good sustainable conservation practices often fail to be implemented. Challenges faced by practitioners often relate to external factors, and...journal article 2021

Cañizares Gaztelu, J.C. (author), Copeland, S.M. (author), Doorn, N. (author)While resilience is a major concept in development, climate adaptation, and related do-mains, many doubts remain about how to interpret this term, its relationship with closely overlap-ping terms, or its normativity. One major view is that, while resilience originally was a descriptive concept denoting some adaptive property of ecosystems,...journal article 2021

Tensa, Melissa (author), Wang, Jenna (author), Harris, Roscoe (author), Faludi, Jeremy (author), DuPont, Bryony (author)This study user-tested different data visualizations for highly uncertain life cycle assessments (LCAs) to determine what best supported decision-making. Precise LCAs can only be performed once designs are finalized, due to the information necessary to complete them, but design changes in such late stages are costly. If designers could have...journal article 2021

Elmustapha, Houda (author), Hoppe, T. (author)Although business models presumably have a prominent role in socio-technical change remarkably little research has been conducted in this domain, more particularly in the context of developing economies. In this paper, we tap into this knowledge gap and study business model components and the challenges they face. We argue that the market...journal article 2020

Nijgh, M.P. (author), Veljkovic, M. (author)The design of sustainable structures is increasingly gaining attention in the construction sector as a societal and technological challenge. Demountability and reuse of structures contributes to the reduction of the environmental impact of the built environment. Welded headed studs used in traditional steel-concrete composite floor systems need...journal article 2020

(author)In 3D concrete printing (3DCP), it is necessary to meet contradicting rheological requirements: high fluidity during pumping and extrusion, and high stability and viscosity at rest to build the layered structure. In this paper, the impact of the hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC)-based viscosity-modifying admixture (VMA) on the 3D printability...journal article 2020
