Hamida, M.B. (author), Gruis, V.H. (author)Bevolkingsgroei, marktdynamiek, vastgoedleegstand en veroudering van gebouwen zijn enkele aanleidingen voor transformatie van gebouwen. De laatste decennia zijn er al veel transformatieprojecten uitgevoerd, mede als oplossing voor leegstand (zie 11. Transformatiemeter kantoren). Sinds kort wordt gebouwtransformatie ook als een veelbelovend...book chapter 2024

Cortés Urra, V.A. (author), Ersoy, A. (author), Czischke, D.K. (author), Gruis, V.H. (author)In recent decades, various programs have been developed as part of Chile’s housing policies to respond to the housing deficit. Most policies have so far focused on addressing the quantitative, qualitative, and urban deficits, neglecting the social dimension of housing. At the same time, the concept of collaborative housing has been referred to...journal article 2024

Addressing housing deficits from a multi-dimensional perspective: a review of Chilean housing policyCortés Urra, V.A. (author), Czischke, D.K. (author), Gruis, V.H. (author)After decades of battling the quantitative and qualitative housing deficits, Latin American countries are seeing new types of challenges in housing. Neoliberal policies favouring individual (low-cost) homeownership have weakened social trust and solidarity between neighbours, and some housing areas face poor urban amenities. An example of this...journal article 2023

Hamida, M.B. (author), Remøy, H.T. (author), Gruis, V.H. (author), van Laar, B.R. (author)Population growth, market volatility, building obsolescence and property vacancy are triggers for adaptive reuse. Thus, adaptive reuse is an investable practice that needs to be facilitated by the means of adaptable design. Furthermore, adaptive reuse aligns with the principles of circular economy (CE), as it promotes the reuse of buildings and...conference paper 2023

Vafaie, F. (author), Remøy, H.T. (author), Gruis, V.H. (author)Whilst adaptive reuse is often applied with good outcomes, we are also faced with projects that have not achieved the desired results. There is little insight into why some projects succeed and others fail, or even what constitutes “success” at all – due in part to the intangibility of the word “success” and unsettled definitions and synonyms...journal article 2023

Jansen, B. (author), Duijghuisen, J.A.K. (author), van Bortel, G.A. (author), Gruis, V.H. (author)The built environment can become more sustainable by gradually replacing building components with circular ones. Kitchens are a logical component to be made circular, given their relatively short lifespan, product-based nature, and affordable prototypes. Since various designs for circular kitchens can be developed, understanding the feasibility...journal article 2023

Dos Santos Vieira Brysch, S.L. (author), Gruis, V.H. (author), Czischke, D.K. (author)Building costs play a significant role in determining the affordability of a housing project, and these depend to a large extent on design choices. This paper is based on the premise that collaborative design processes, or co-design, used in collaborative housing (CH) in Europe reduce building costs and consequently increase the affordability of...journal article 2023

Hamida, M.B. (author), Remøy, H.T. (author), Gruis, V.H. (author), Jylhä, T.E. (author)Purpose: The application of circular building adaptability (CBA) in adaptive reuse becomes an effective action for resource efficiency, long-lasting usability of the built environment and the sped-up transition to a circular economy (CE). This paper aims to explore to which extent CBA-related strategies are applied in adaptive reuse projects,...journal article 2023

Çetin, Sultan (author), Raghu, Deepika (author), Honic, Meliha (author), Straub, A. (author), Gruis, V.H. (author)Passports for circularity, e.g., digital product passports and material passports (MPs), have gained recognition as essential policy instruments for the Circular Economy goals of the European Union. Despite the growing number of approaches, there is a lack of knowledge about the data requirements and availabilities to create MPs for existing...journal article 2023

van Stijn, A. (author), Wouterszoon Jansen, B. (author), Gruis, V.H. (author), van Bortel, G.A.

Knowledge on which options are feasible to implement remains limited. Existing feasibility studies do not compare multiple circular design options, building components and...journal article 2023

Çetin, Sultan (author), Straub, A. (author), Gruis, V.H. (author)The world is facing an alarming housing crisis. The challenge for the construction industry is to find sustainable ways to meet this growing housing demand. The concept of Circular Economy could be an alternative approach as it aims to regenerate, narrow, slow, and close resources loops. Digital technologies are seen as enablers to implementing...conference paper 2022
