van Weverwijk, Joyce (author)In a world increasingly faced with complexity, systemic design is growing in popularity as a knowledge field to target such complex contexts. However, it is yet to be applied in organizations and projects. This thesis aims to bridge the existing knowledge and practice gap between transitioning, or ‘reframing’, from traditional problem-solving...master thesis 2023

Paraschiv, Maria (author)As the effects of climate change have been negatively impacting the environment, several industries have started to work towards minimizing them. The construction industry is responsible for 40% of the global carbon emissions and many companies are currently working on net-zero and other sustainability goals. As several sustainability practices...master thesis 2023

Toonen, Sanny (author)Building upon a conceptual framework of elements that play a role in the management of uncertainties, an empirical study was performed to learn about the uncertainties in the energy transition. For this, interviews were held and an expert panel was organized. <br/><br/>It was found that uncertainty is an unavoidable element of project management...master thesis 2022

Grech, Martin (author)Across a period of multiple crises and a structurally instable government, amongst other things, there has been a strong national decline in cultural activity, production, and presence in the city of Beirut. With this, national identity is faltering, and citizens begin to give up on their home nation. Who can is emigrating, and the rest lay...master thesis 2022

Ioannou, O. (author), Geldermans, Bob (author), Klein, T. (author), Wandl, Alex (author)This paper introduces a methodological framework to integrate circularity in architectural curricula and the building blocks that led to its conceptualisation. The first block (Part A) examines how complexity has affected learning and architectural education, in particular. The paper departs from the notion that knowledge produces further...journal article 2022

Lemke, Florian (author), Janssen, M.F.W.H.A. (author), Draheim, Dirk (author)The need for standardized and visualized performance monitoring on a wide range of topics has become apparent in recent years. In the public sector, there has been an increase in the number of dashboards to create transparency into the progress. Yet, the design of dashboards encounters many challenges ranging from technical to social. The goal...conference paper 2022

Keusters, A.C.A.M. (author), Bakker, H.L.M. (author), Houwing, E.J. (author)Purpose: Civil engineering projects around the world have been underperforming for a long time. While the complexity of these projects will continue to increase, there is an urgent need to perform better. Although the integrated design process is critical for project success, the literature lacks studies describing the link to project...journal article 2022

Chatzikonstantinou, I. (author)Identification of design solutions for a built environment that caters to the human needs at all levels, and more specifically, to the needs of the clients and the society, is the main task addressed by architectural design. Architectural design is a prime example of a design task that is characterized by a high degree of complexity....doctoral thesis 2021

Zhen, Suihao (author)Urban voids are the indispensable configurations within the urban environment. They should be recognized as distinct spatial entities within the cities and also in the sense of human culture, as the holder of the memory and historical layering of the life of the city. The project mainly focuses on the current urban conditions happening in...master thesis 2021

Patil, Pradyot (author)Building predictive models using cloud metrics for a task like incident prediction in the cloud is becoming ubiquitous in cloud monitoring. For such a forecasting task, if we know beforehand which system metrics are predictable then we can easily build good models. Quantifying the predictability of cloud metrics can help us rank the available...master thesis 2021

Hein, C.M. (author), Mulder, I. (author), Sennema, Hilde (author)Over the last decades, values have been re-addressed in planning, policies, businesses, heritage and education. While these fields seem to agree on the importance of values, it is often unclear what actors mean by values, and how they use these values to shape decisions. A decade after a global financial crisis, in the midst of a global pandemic...journal article 2021

van der Bijl-Brouwer, M. (author), Kligyte, Giedre (author), Key, Tyler (author)Complex societal challenges cannot be resolved with quick fixes, nor can they be successfully addressed from disciplinary or institutional silos. In this article we propose an innovative approach to tackling contemporary societal challenges based on complexity theory and transdisciplinarity. The lens of complexity reveals that such challenges...journal article 2021

Smith, K.L. (author)Due to globalisation and technological advancements, the world is becoming increasingly complex. Volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous (VUCA) environments have called for organisations to become more agile in order to survive and compete in such changing environments. Large organisations are at particular risk for becoming stagnant due to...master thesis 2020

Evans, B.D.C. (author)As the city of New York densifies, the post-democratic state grows its roots deeper into the bedrock. 90% of buildings in Manhattan are built without public review, and outdated zoning laws no longer protect the city's public assets, alienating the public and further widening the gap between rich and poor. The Manhattan Forum is a public/private...master thesis 2020

Kersten, W.C. (author)The problem: Design challenges are becoming increasingly complex, amongst others because real life is getting more complex. Society is more interconnected than before and most problems occur in a variety of -quickly changing- shapes and forms, i.e. in different contexts. These contexts pose different requirements and often have interdependencies...doctoral thesis 2020
