Waterwerf: een ankerpunt in de stad

Kan je architectuur vermenselijken door een gevoel tot ontwerpopgave te maken? Dit is de vraag waarmee ik mijn afstudeerproject startte. Thuis is een begrip dat veel wordt gebruikt en wat sterk gekoppeld is aan de architectonische typologie huis. Zijn deze echter onlosmakelijk met elkaar verbonden en wanneer voel je je thuis? Door middel van...

Monuments for Reconciliation: How spatial interventions can create circumstances for reconciliation in the Israel-Palestine conflict

The Israel-Palestine conflict is a traumatic experience that continues to violate the underlying basic structures of the Israeli and Palestinian societies. The cultural differences of commemoration of this conflict complicate coming to a stable convergence of a single render of the traumatic events. To date, research has been limited to the...

Determination of Relevant Spatial Scale in Reservoir Simulation

Under-sampling of the subsurface combined with scale differences in observations causes the estimation of geological parameters to be an ill-posed problem. As a result, only a subset of theoretically possible models can truly depict the reality. In reservoir modeling, we capture complexity and heterogeneity by representing the solution space...

The design of an instrument casing of post-consumer plastics making use of its unique properties

Since post-consumer plastics have less well defined properties compared to virgin plastics they are not widely applied in consumer products. This thesis studied the unique qualities of post-consumer plastics. Tensile tests were performed, studying the impact qualities of recycled HDPE sheets. Leading to the optimisation of sheet production of...
