An Interdisciplinary Study on the Parana Delta of Argentina

With combined efforts from water management, architectural and hydraulic engineering students, an interdisciplinary and resilient design is set up for the Paraná Delta. The design relates to all the current environmental, architectural and flood risk challenges - among others, as well as the potential issues in the future since the Paraná Delta...

Theory and Reality - An elaboration of the overall implementations of Aldo Rossi’s architecture

When looking into the delicate relationship between Aldo Rossi’s theoretical drawings and their implementations in reality, one would always find it fascinating that his projects that were expressive and vibrant on paper oftentimes were built and perceived in a completely different way. For all kinds of reasons, his projects were sometimes not...

Building an Oil Fairy-tale: The Narration of a Petroleumscape in Stavanger’s Civic Spaces

Building an oil fairy-tale investigates oil’s potency as a socio-cultural force and its role in shaping civic spaces in Stavanger, Norway. It posits that the Nordic city represents an exemplary case study on the complex and co-dependent interaction between petroleum and architecture. Since the discovery of oil in Norway in the late 1960s, the...

Monumentality in change and exploration: Modern Monumental Architecture in China after the 1920s

This research focuses on the development of Chinese modern monumental architecture from 1920 to the early 20th century by examining first-hand and second-hand information on the development of Chinese architectural theory after 1920, as well as cases of Chinese modern monumental architecture. It is hoped that this study will show in a small way...

SCIPoC: Semantic Classification of Indoor Point Cloud: A study into the possibilities of classifying indoor point cloud using a Deep Learning approach

With the constantly evolving range of applications for technology the quality and amount of data constantly increases as well. In this growing data environment, there is a constant search to provide more value to all data that is available for as little effort as possible. Our research tries to add such additional value by diving into the...

The influence of upstream discharge and hydraulic roughness on high water occurrence in Ems

Additional thesis - Historical engineering works such as weirs, land reclamation and large scale deepening modified not only the local morphology and hydrodynamics but also tidal characteristics and sediment transport patterns in the tidal river Ems. The loss of intertidal area and ongoing deepening contribute to the flood dominance while...

Efficiency of urban water detention methods in downstream cities

Jakarta is a city which suffers from the problem of urban flooding and inundation. It is urgent to figure out solutions on how to manage the storm water in its urban area. Jakarta locates at the downstream of the catchment; the peak runoff generated in the city can occur earlier than the peak discharge coming from upstream, potentially leading...

Foresea: An installation about sea level rise at Oerol 2016

Foresea is the result of course 'AR0148 - landscape architecture ON site' 2016, initiated by the section Landscape Architecture at the faculty of Architecture. Central aim of this course is to express the given site in a project at the interface between landscape architecture and landscape art, which will be performed during the Oerol festival...

Geofort: The realisation of a Marauders map at the Geofort GeoExperience

This Geomatics project was carried out in commission of the Municipality of Rotterdam, Geofort Herwijnen and Facility Management of TU Delft. The research project and this report deliver important fundamental information for scientific/academic paper on Wifi tracking.
