Kopiarová, Dominika (author)
Radical experimentation, formal plurality, and oscillation between architecture and visual arts permeated the 50s and 60s generation of architects and artists on both sides of the politically divided Europe. Central and Eastern European examples from this period are often undervalued, if addressed at all, both by Western European standards and...

The Earth is currently coping with global warming as a result of human behaviour. One of the causes is plastic, namely not only the production and transportation of plastic, but also the spillage is extremely damaging for the environment. Some awareness has already been raised and some actions have been taken but this is not enough to turn the...

The herring gull is a bird species with a red dot on its beak. Its chicks are fully dependant on their mother for the first phase of their life, and resultantly develop a clear instinct towards the beak of their mother as this is their known source of sustenance. Interestingly enough the chicks respond with the same excitement when an object is...

In Medieval Utrecht, five churches were built to form a Christian cross in plan. After centuries of turmoil, in 1674, a storm with multiple tornadoes passed right through the city, damaging most of the churches badly. During these thirty minutes of extreme weather conditions, the skyline had lost most of its church towers, spires and roofs....

The symbolic and meaningful richness of the architecture of commemoration reminds us of important events in the history of mankind, mixing past realities with present-day meta worlds largely created by architecture and place, as well as exhibitions, objects, or even our own experiences. Semiotic opulence, and therefore also the narrative...

“Building a Fair Transition” strives for a fair circular built environment in the Dutch province of South Holland. By 2040 South Holland aims to have built 210.000 new dwellings to meet the rapidly growing housing demand. This transition in the built environment should align with current climate agreements and be as energy neutral as possible....

Currently, the agricultural system of South Holland causes many externalities including subsidence, increased flood risks by poor water management, a loss of biodiversity, air pollution and economic problems due to the nitrogen tax. Given these problems, the following research question is chosen: can improving ecological conditions and...

The large demand for homes in the province of Zuid-Holland, population growth and urbanisation result in a huge demand for raw materials to be used in the construction sector. The next 20 years many new buildings will have to be built to support current trends. Given the fact that 50 percent of all extracted non-renewable resources is accounted...

This research project aims to implement an elasto-plastic Neo-Hookean Alpha material with a Desai flow surface with hardening and softening in Abaqus via the Continuum Mechanics framework. This is done by first defining the elasto-plastic potato diagram and deriving the corresponding stress tensor definition and dissipation inequality. The...

In this assignment we simulate a two meters wide dike stretch which is subjected to overflow. Three failure mechanisms could occur due to overflow: full erosion of the soil of the dike, macro instability of the levee if too much soil is eroded away, leading to insufficient counterweight on the inside of the levee, and surface slip failure due to...

In this work, a quantum self-test which certifies that measurements of a quantum device have a large Gowers norm of order k is presented and analysed. The test protocol is described as a two-player quantum game, in which players provide answers based on measurements on subsystems of a maximally entangled<br/>bipartite state. The protocol makes...
