Hussain, A.M. (author), Cattoor, B. (author), Hooimeijer, F.L. (author)Rapid urbanization and increasing globalization of urban development strategies are resulting in a lack of connection between people and places, and places and their context. Nevertheless, cultural embedding and sense of place have a direct impact on the quality of public space. The purpose of this research is to explore culture and context...abstract 2021

Eijkelenboom, A.M. (author), Ortiz, Marco A. (author), Bluyssen, P.M. (author)While the pressure on hospital workers keeps growing, they are generally more dissatisfied with their comfort than other occupants in hospitals or offices. To better understand the comfort of outpatient workers in hospitals, clusters for preferences and perceptions of the indoor environmental quality (IEQ) and social comfort were identified in a...journal article 2021

Prieto Hoces, A.I. (author), Oldenhave, M.M. (author)The aesthetic of our built environment is perceived as an important aspect to consider for the design of human-centred cities, but a problem quickly arises in the presence of clashing conceptions of what we understand to be aesthetically pleasing. This paper adds to this discussion, by exploring architects' aesthetic preferences in façade design...journal article 2021

(author)BACKGROUND: Anthropometrics is very important when ensuring a physical match between end users and product or workstations. OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study are twofold, to provide anthropometric data for the design of products and to examine the secular changes in the adult Chilean workers in a period of more than 20 years. METHODS:...journal article 2021

van Eeden, E.A.M. (author), Gao, Y. (author), Liu, Y. (author), Sun, Y. (author), Qi, K. (author), Zheng, Y. (author)This graduation studio explores the potential of a landscape-based regional design approach to contribute to more resilient coastal landscapes around the globe. Such an approach addresses the interaction between the natural and urban landscape throughout the scales of space and time. It takes the landscape as the basis for sustainable urban...report 2021

Zijlstra, H. (author)On 31 december 2015, the department store of Vroom & Dreesmann (V&D), which was founded in 1887, officially went bankrupt. This ended the rich history of a department store that had branches in many Dutch cities and towns. This raises the question: what happens to the traditional twentieth century commercial areas in major Dutch cities...book 2021

Joustra, J.J. (author), Flipsen, Bas (author), Balkenende, R. (author)Composite materials are an attractive material choice as they enable lightweight, low-maintenance products with a long lifespan. Recycling these materials, however, remains a chal-lenge. Homogeneous material composition and the use of thermoset matrices complicate repro-cessing, and result in low-grade recyclate. This means that closing the...journal article 2021

Ummels, R. (author), Castro, Saullo G.P. (author)Recent research on variable stiffness laminates have shown both numerically and experimentally that further improvement on the buckling performance is possible by incorporating overlaps that result in variable thickness profiles. We present the concept of overlap-stiffened designs that take advantage of the non-linear coupling between the tow...journal article 2021

Schifferstein, Hendrik N.J. (author), de Boer, Alie (author), Lemke, M.

Joustra, J.J. (author), Flipsen, Bas (author), Balkenende, R. (author)Composite materials are an attractive material choice as they enable lightweight, low maintenance products with a long lifespan. But closing the loop for these materials in a Circular Economy (CE) is challenging, especially for thermoset composites. In a CE, products should be designed for minimal impact while preserving their environmental and...conference paper 2021

Joustra, J.J. (author), Flipsen, Bas (author), Balkenende, R. (author)Composite materials offer many advantages during the use phase, but recovery at the end of a lifecycle remains a challenge. Structural reuse, where an end of life product is segmented into construction elements, may be a promising alternative. However, composites are often used in large, complex shaped products with optimised material...journal article 2021

Lussenburg, K.M. (author), Sakes, A. (author), Breedveld, P. (author)Additive Manufacturing (AM) or 3D printing has enabled the production of increasingly complex parts that are difficult to produce with conventional manufacturing methods. Its additive nature has made it possible to create interlocking parts in a single production step. This creates opportunities for new ways of designing and producing...review 2021

de Vries, Mindert (author), van Koningsveld, M. (author), Aarninkhof, S.G.J. (author), de Vriend, H.J. (author)Hydraulic engineering infrastructure is supposed to keep functioning for many years and is likely to interfere with both the natural and the social environment at various scales. Due to its long life-cycle, hydraulic infrastructure is bound to face changing environmental conditions as well as changes in societal views on acceptable solutions....journal article 2021

(author)By definition, Building with Nature solutions utilise services provided by the natural system and/or provide new opportunities to that system. As a consequence, such solutions are sensitive to the status of, and interact with the surrounding system. A thorough understanding of the ambient natural system is therefore necessary to meet the...journal article 2021

Magni, A. (author), Calderon Gonzalez, A. (author), Mulder, I. (author)Over the past years, a growing number of local initiatives are generating solutions for societal challenges in their cities. However, the scale and complexity of these challenges force urban innovators to constantly adapt and learn, having to acquire new capabilities that will help them advance towards systemic change. In the current work, we...conference paper 2021

Kleiman, F. (author), Janssen, M.F.W.H.A. (author), Meijer, Sebastiaan (author)The adoption of open data policy-making by governments is limited due to different types of constraints. Civil servants are reluctant to open their data to the public for many reasons. The lack of knowledge of benefits that can be produced by the release of data and the overestimation of risks and operational complexity seems to decrease...conference paper 2021

Administrative staff, managers and sometimes a few professionals, representing only one or two disciplines, decide what to change and how. Consequently, PSPs are not fully adapted to the...journal article 2020
