Categorization of technologies by the order of their inbetweenness is a useful device for parsing complex structures info fundamental parts and understanding the application of a technology. This promises a coherent foundation for explaining how we deploy technologies in design, in particular with respect to the affordances they create. By...

Steel-concrete composite beams are widely used in practice because of the simple construction sequence and the economic cross-section design. The application of welded headed studs in composite beams prevents the non-destructive separation of the composite beam, which leads to a very low scoring in the sustainability assessment in terms of the...

This thesis studies the possibilities to diversify a human environment through means of design. Environmental diversity is primarily characterised through naming variables, as described in Chapter 3. Subsequently, an attempt is made to name their extreme values and – if possible – to identify an absolute value that may serve as a zero-point,...
