The Great Fire of Chicago in 1871 destroyed almost the entire city. As a result, the Chicago School of Architecture emerged, which is characterised by high-rise buildings with steel skeleton frames. This architectural movement spread beyond America and influenced cities worldwide. This thesis analyses the impact of the American high-rise...

More and more people in the Netherlands want to live in the so-called Randstad. This results in a need for densification in Dutch cities. One of the solutions for this is building more high-rise residential buildings. High-rise buildings provide amazing views and house many people on a small plot of land. They do however, have some downsides....

Currently, the waste processing is always far from residents’ sight because most waste is transported to the centralised factories isolated from the urban context. As a result, Many residents are not aware of the importance of separating and recycling organic waste at the source. This is also same for many high-rise green façade projects, a new...

The aim of this research is to make the early design process more efficient. This is done with a parametric model, which compares high-rise stability systems. The research is focused on the stability systems shear walls, core, outrigger and tube. All systems are executed in concrete cast-in-situ, in the range from 100 to 250 m. The parametric...

The evolution of high-rises puts more challenge for achieving indoor visual comfort because the source of getting natural light inside is solely through sidewalls; especially in deep floorplan like office buildings, where visual discomfort is very usual to be experienced. Without any measure taken, it leads to a situation where the illuminance...

As buildings get taller and lighter, structural engineers are increasingly faced with the consequences of the dynamic response of high-rise buildings to wind. Damping is an important property for the dynamic response of high-rise structures, but is a combination of many mechanisms, which makes it a complex phenomenon to account for in the...

More and more people live in cities. The building industry is responsible for 33% of waste production and is set to increase further to 50% in 2025. The energy efficiency is continuously increased, but the waste production at the end of life of a building is largely ignored. This design proposes a solution in the form of a zero-waste high-rise...

This study refers to the PV/T-chimney system, an innovative system that combines two solar systems, a Trombe wall system and a PV/T system in order to gain more energy per square meter of application. The research analyzes the impact of the PV-chimney system on the energy performance of residential high-rise buildings and the architectural...

In Rotterdam underneath the first load bearing sand layer is a layer of compressible soil, called the "Kedichem" layer. Under this layer of compresible soil is another load bearing sand layer located, at approximately -50m NAP, but most of the buildings in Rotterdam are foundated on the first loadbearing sand layer at approximately -23m NAP. Due...

With the Netherlands moving more and more towards a circular economy, stricter waste management policies and regulations demand developments in the household waste separation sector. The more household waste that is collected in separate fractions, the more waste that can be reused or recycled into valuable material again, rather than ending up...

Back to Nature focuses on finding ways to integrate nature with architecture in order to harness the positive effects of nature on the human psyche. As such psychological theories on restorative environments, neurological theories on the stress response and architectural theories concerning the sensory systems are combined to create a...

In this thesis a particular structural system for high-rise structures is discussed: the prefabricated concrete framed tube and tube-in-tube structures. These system consist of a prefabricated concrete perforated elements in the perimeter of the structure that are the main lateral load resisting elements in the building. For tube-in-tube...

The application of reinforced concrete in the load bearing structures of high-rise buildings requires awareness of the time-dependent behavior of the material. During the first few years after pouring of the concrete the elements will shorten, caused by shrinkage and creep. This may result in problems concerning non-load-bearing elements, which...

During a design competition held in 2010, a preliminary design was made for an extension on top of the Oval tower. The Oval Tower is an existing building with a height of about 100m. However, following that competition, this design was never put into practice. According to experts in the field, this project still has a great potential. It was...

The number of high-rise buildings and their corresponding height are increasing in the world. However, the highest building in the world with a load bearing precast structure is only 132m high (Het Strijkijzer in The Hague). Is this the maximum height of precast concrete or can we achieve greater heights with this building method? And how do the...

There is large difference in height between high-rise buildings in the Netherlands and high-rise in other continents such as North America and Asia. The tallest building in the Netherlands, the “Maastoren”, has a height of 164.75 meter whereas in the rest of the world buildings with a height of more than 300 meter are not uncommon. In Dubai the...

De focus in het eerste half jaar van mijn afstuderen bestond uit het ontwikkelen van de visie voor een multifunctioneel gebouw met publieke en private functies. Mijn ambities op dat vlak bestond uit conclusie die was ontstaan naar aanleiding van de High-rise workshop en de stedenbouwkundige analyse. Hieruit kwam naar voren dat dit gebouw een...
