Sheoratan, Sathyam (author), Henze, Ineke (author), de Vries, M.J. (author), Barendsen, Erik (author)Design activities are gaining interest as rich contexts for learning science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) subjects. STEM teachers may find this challenging however, as designing requires support that they are not used to providing. In a subject like chemistry, teachers would have to balance creativity and responsibility for...journal article 2023

Brinkman, Geert (author), van Buuren, Arwin (author), Voorberg, William (author), van der Bijl-Brouwer, M. (author)Public organizations are increasingly turning to design thinking to address wicked societal issues, enhance innovation, and improve services. However, in general, public organizations do not provide the most receptive context for design thinking. To be applied effectively, design thinking requires sufficient tolerance for uncertainty,...journal article 2023

Tieleman, O.C. (author)Flood gates form an essential part of many flood defence systems in coastal areas. During storm events, these gates are subjected to extreme loads from various sources. This dissertation addresses the dynamic behaviour of flood gates induced by wave impacts. A semi-analytical fluid-structure interaction model is developed to predict vertical...doctoral thesis 2022

Louwers, G.L.M. (author), Ozcan Vieira, E. (author), Van Bommel, Jasper (author), Pont, S.C. (author)Psychological needs of users as a basis for design are at the core of design practice, yet the importance of fundamental human needs when designing soundscapes has not been studied specifically. This paper investigates the relationship between nine fundamental human needs and the affective qualities and categories of soundscapes. In a free...conference paper 2022

Overtoom, M.E. (author), Elsinga, M.G. (author), Bluyssen, P.M. (author)People living in short-term rental housing, henceforth temporary housing, are rarely consulted by professionals involved in the design process, whether regarding new or refurbished buildings. Knowing what is required for temporary dwellers to feel at home and how their meanings of home relate to household characteristics, activities, and indoor...journal article 2022

(author), Lee, Wonsup (author), Viviani, Carlos (author), Castellucci, Héctor Ignacio (author)BACKGROUND: An appropriate match between a product and its end-users requires anthropometric data, which show variations among different countries. Proper Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) fit is key for safety and comfort. Chile had no head and facial anthropometric data available in order to design face/head PPE. OBJECTIVE: To describe...journal article 2022

De Martino, P. (author), Hanna, J.M.K. (author), Hein, C.M. (author)This article explores the concept of ‘green’ in architecture and urban design through the lens of port cities. Due to global pressures such as climate change, energy transition and soil consumption the planning of port cities requires new scenarios for achieving equilibrium between nature and water systems. Despite the fact that the concept of...journal article 2022

Polyportis, A. (author), Magnier, L.B.M. (author), Mugge, R. (author)The circular economy can reduce the environmental footprint of today’s consumption and close the resource loop through circular material flows. Companies are encouraged to fol- low circular principles, such as using more recycled plastic materials. This initiative seems promising; however, it will only be successful if consumers are willing to...journal article 2022

Alfrink, Kars (author), Keller, A.I. (author), Kortuem, G.W. (author), Doorn, N. (author)As the use of AI systems continues to increase, so do concerns over their lack of fairness, legitimacy and accountability. Such harmful automated decision-making can be guarded against by ensuring AI systems are contestable by design: responsive to human intervention throughout the system lifecycle. Contestable AI by design is a small but...journal article 2022
