van Weverwijk, Joyce (author)In a world increasingly faced with complexity, systemic design is growing in popularity as a knowledge field to target such complex contexts. However, it is yet to be applied in organizations and projects. This thesis aims to bridge the existing knowledge and practice gap between transitioning, or ‘reframing’, from traditional problem-solving...master thesis 2023

Paraschiv, Maria (author)As the effects of climate change have been negatively impacting the environment, several industries have started to work towards minimizing them. The construction industry is responsible for 40% of the global carbon emissions and many companies are currently working on net-zero and other sustainability goals. As several sustainability practices...master thesis 2023

Toonen, Sanny (author)Building upon a conceptual framework of elements that play a role in the management of uncertainties, an empirical study was performed to learn about the uncertainties in the energy transition. For this, interviews were held and an expert panel was organized. <br/><br/>It was found that uncertainty is an unavoidable element of project management...master thesis 2022

Grech, Martin (author)Across a period of multiple crises and a structurally instable government, amongst other things, there has been a strong national decline in cultural activity, production, and presence in the city of Beirut. With this, national identity is faltering, and citizens begin to give up on their home nation. Who can is emigrating, and the rest lay...master thesis 2022

Lemma, Bethel (author)The ambition of the project for the new public library in Beirut is one that explores how architectural space can facilitate this synergy between digital information and books. Through the integration of digital media in architecture and its interactive aspects, information can become more accessible to users. Beirut is historically known for...master thesis 2022

Zhen, Suihao (author)Urban voids are the indispensable configurations within the urban environment. They should be recognized as distinct spatial entities within the cities and also in the sense of human culture, as the holder of the memory and historical layering of the life of the city. The project mainly focuses on the current urban conditions happening in...master thesis 2021

Patil, Pradyot (author)Building predictive models using cloud metrics for a task like incident prediction in the cloud is becoming ubiquitous in cloud monitoring. For such a forecasting task, if we know beforehand which system metrics are predictable then we can easily build good models. Quantifying the predictability of cloud metrics can help us rank the available...master thesis 2021

Smith, K.L. (author)Due to globalisation and technological advancements, the world is becoming increasingly complex. Volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous (VUCA) environments have called for organisations to become more agile in order to survive and compete in such changing environments. Large organisations are at particular risk for becoming stagnant due to...master thesis 2020

Hill, Adam (author)Rapid change is quintessentially ingrained within the make-up of a city such as New York; owing to the continuous state of its evolution, buildings are becoming increasingly short-term ventures, surpassed by the latest trends and the progression of the markets. Lincoln Flex is a reactionary Multi-functional Complex, located at the juxtaposition...master thesis 2020

Evans, B.D.C. (author)As the city of New York densifies, the post-democratic state grows its roots deeper into the bedrock. 90% of buildings in Manhattan are built without public review, and outdated zoning laws no longer protect the city's public assets, alienating the public and further widening the gap between rich and poor. The Manhattan Forum is a public/private...master thesis 2020

Vos, Linda (author)The Netherlands has a strong tradition of blueprint planning in spatial design. Since the financial crisis of 2008, a shift has been made to more organic approaches to development. Currently, a paradigm is evolving which is able to deal with complex challenges that the built environment faces today: a shortage of housing and a transition to...master thesis 2020

Mellas, Zach (author)This project forms an exploration of the way in which architecture, as a discipline, might come to a distinctly architectural application of computational design techinques. In particular, it questions the external nature of these techniques to the field, and how the discipline might come to formulate its own critical technicity. This is...master thesis 2020

van Elsas, Maarten (author)In dynamic scheduling, some of the information about the scheduling problem is learnt during the execution of the schedule. Because of this, creating a low cost schedule that does not have to be changed is impossible in most cases. When changes are made during the execution, focussing solely on the performance of the schedule may result in very...master thesis 2019

van de Loo, Jasper (author), Smit, Roland (author)Water Treatment Plants (WTPs) play a key role in assuring water availability to citizens and businesses. Long term availability of these plants is the interest of the asset manager of a WTP and can be influenced by maintenance strategies and modifications of the system. A WTP is characterized by a complex configuration and repairable,...master thesis 2018

Oudenaarden, S.A.C. (author)The graduation project ‘Framed space vs. Free space’ is about the differences between space free to plan by the user and controlled space by authorities in urban and landscape design. These are degrees of control on different scales. Scales in urbanism are assigned to get a grip on the complexity of the city, to understand the processes and...master thesis 2014
