Iuorio, Luca (author), Wüthrich, D. (author), Teng, Djimin (author), Hooimeijer, F.L. (author)Coastal dikes have been built for millennia to protect inhabited lands from exceptional high tides and storm events. Currently, many European countries are developing specific programs to integrate the construction of new dikes (or the raising of existing ones) into the built environment to face sea level rising. Technical difficulties in...journal article 2024

Sugano, Keisuke (author), Lu, Simo (author), Hooimeijer, F.L. (author), van de Ven, F.H.M. (author)Within the global transition to sustainable urban water management, Dutch polder cities are also contemplating revitalising their water traditions. One of the keys to this task is to integrate water management into urban design, which is explored but not yet practically instrumentalized in the urban design process. This article introduces the...journal article 2024

(author), Hooimeijer, F.L. (author)Venice is representative of the result of anthropocene acts on a vulnerable delta system. Therefore it is an excellent study case for a multidisciplinary team of TU students and tutors, to perform interdisciplinary research and design. Two visions were developed on the shared knowledge base to investigate ‘how do flood defense systems influence...report 2023

Hooimeijer, F.L. (author), Kuzniecow Bacchin, T. (author)The power of design is to be able to see beyond the existing reality and push its boundaries to new sustainable futures. It enables change in ways of doing that created the existing reality in the first place. It creates change. Redesigning Deltas investigates this power of interdisciplinary design in which urban, landscape, and engineering...report 2023

Hooimeijer, F.L. (author)Alle signalen wijzen erop: onze manier van bouwen en wonen in de delta is op de lange termijn niet vol te houden. Onderzoeker milieutechnisch ontwerpen en universitair hoofddocent aan de TU Delft Fransje Hooimeijer pleit daarom voor een radicale herijking van het deltabeheer. Een ontwerpende, interdisciplinaire aanpak is de eerste stap om de...journal article 2023

Hooimeijer, F.L. (author), Bricker, J.D. (author), Ke, Q. (author), Bortolotti, A. (author), van der Heuvel, Jasper (author), Diaz, Andres (author)Mean sea level rise (SLR) could increase up to 2m by 2100, which would see damage caused by coastal flooding in Europe increase from €1.25bn per annum currently to €961bn in just over 80 years. Urban areas situated along the North Sea coastline are particularly vulnerable to extreme sea level rise (a combination of SLR, tide and storm surges)....journal article 2022

Wüthrich, D. (author), Teng, Djimin (author), Ke, Q. (author), Diaz, Andres (author), Bortolotti, A. (author), Iuorio, Luca (author), Hooimeijer, F.L. (author)In a world influenced by climate change and consequently sea-level rise, extreme floods are expected to become more frequent in the future, representing a serious threat for riverine and coastal settlements. Therefore, flood protection is a large component of climate adaptation and should be closely related to other measures of climate...conference paper 2022

Rizzetto, F. (author), Hooimeijer, F.L. (author)Cities are like “heterotrophic organisms” because they are dependent on inflows of air, water, food, matter, and energy. Unlike nature, they pollute their own habitat through the production of waste outflows and emissions, extending beyond their own footprint. Data on the ecological footprint of cities have quantified, emblematically, the...book chapter 2022

Hooimeijer, F.L. (author), Yoshida, Y. (author), Bortolotti, A. (author), Iuorio, Luca (author)Spatial design integrates social, cultural, economic, and political perspectives with natural site conditions and man-made construction to plan for sustainable urban development. The current flood-risk-related challenges induced by climate change place pressure on designing cities in which both natural and man-made conditions can be imbalanced....book chapter 2022

Hooimeijer, F.L. (author)Sustainable urban design opens up the prospect of possible new futures for high-quality urban development where the subsoil has been integrated, utilized and exploited. This requires fundamental changes in spatial planning. The new Environmental Act helps with this. The use of boundary spanning objects – bridging boundaries between domains – and...journal article 2021

And yet the soil and its associated eco- and water system are a final piece in area development practice. What if we were to draw cross-sections through the above- and underground city more often and pay more attention to the 'technical space' of nature and the city below ground level? Can we achieve a...journal article 2021

Hooimeijer, F.L. (author), Lambert, Dennis (author)The concept of “Building with Nature” refers to a harmonious way of creating environments for new living, working and recreation spaces with respect to nature. It also builds resilience to natural events such as storm surges and thus involves the design of infrastructure. This is done with the intention of ensuring the preservation or expansion...journal article 2021
