Eekhout, A.J.C.M. (author), Van Timmeren, A. (author)The Delft Prototype is a single apartment from a not yet realized Concept House Urban Villa, which consists of 16 apartments on 4 floors. Both the urban villa and the prototype demonstrate the characteristics of high level industrial production with an extremely low ecological footprint, as well as being energy-positive in use, and both are...book 2016

Maiullari, D. (author), Mosteiro-Romero, Martin (author), de Koning, Remco Elric (author), van Timmeren, A. (author), van Nes, A. (author), Schlüter, Arno (author)SPACERGY builds upon the need for planning authorities to develop new models to implement energy transition strategies in the urban environment, departing from the exploitation or reciprocity between space and energy systems. Several policies have been made by each EU nation, but effective and practical tools to guide the urban transformations...book 2019

Russo, Michelangelo (author), van Timmeren, A. (author)In this first chapter of the Book “Regenerative Territories. Dimensions of Circularity for Healthy Metabolisms”, the relation between circularity and space is explored. The main focus is the development over time, and in particular the way how spatial planning and strategies respond to new unpredictable urgencies and opportunities related...book chapter 2022

Amenta, L. (author), van Timmeren, A. (author)In this chapter, the understanding of circularity goes beyond material resource management, deepening the spatial implications of a more circular management and use of wastescapes, investigated at the urban and metropolitan scale. Besides the health (care) related challenges presented by the current outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic,...book chapter 2022

Forgaci, C. (author), Van Timmeren, A. (author)Assessment is one of the greatest challenges of urban resilience research. The difficulty of this task arises from the increasing complexity of urban environments and from the unpredictability of external changes, two trends that have raised environmental awareness and, consequently, led to a growing debate on the relationship between city and...conference paper 2014

Beella, S.K. (author), Silvester, S. (author), Brezet, J.C. (author), Van Timmeren, A. (author), Bauer, P. (author), Quist, J. (author), Van Dijk, S. (author)A product service system (PSS) is a function-oriented business model aimed at providing sustainability of both consumption and production. A PSS is defined as a marketable set of products and services capable of jointly fulfilling user needs. In theory PSSs are normally shown realized with smart products. The first PSS were largely motivated by...conference paper 2010

Meijer, S.A. (author), Crul, M.R.M. (author), Van Timmeren, A. (author)Over time, humankinds lifestyle became increasingly dependent on finite resources. It follows that such a system is unable to sustain itself indefinitely. Several studies show that in the near future the climate may radically change and oil production will peak. Changes in the natural environment will possibly be so overwhelming that man has to...conference paper 2010

Kuzniecow Bacchin, T. (author), Ashley, R. (author), Sijmons, D.F. (author), Zevenbergen, C. (author), Van Timmeren, A. (author)Cities exhibit unique and ever-changing spatial layouts formed by nested natural and socio-economic systems, sub-systems and components resulting from exchange, interaction, and interdependency processes. In this context, managing surface water in urban areas requires new approaches that integrate the knowledge about territorial patterns and...conference paper 2014

(author), Blecken, G. (author), Ashley, R. (author), Rauch, W. (author), van Timmeren, A. (author), Viklander, M. (author)The city of Kiruna in Northern Sweden has become known for the need to relocate major parts of the city. Current and future mining activities in the world’s largest underground iron ore mine are the cause of land subsidence that requires relocation of substantial parts of the town including its water infrastructure.

Meijer, S.A. (author), Van Timmeren, A. (author), Crul, M.R.M. (author), Brezet, J.C. (author)Climate change and resource scarcity effects pose challenges by themselves. In the context of the complexity of cities, these challenges become wicked and ill-defined as e.g. socialeconomic issues are added. To face these challenges, a city’s resilience on multiple scales has to enable it to both mitigate the causes and adapt to the...conference paper 2013

Silvester, S. (author), Beella, S.K. (author), Van Timmeren, A. (author), Bauer, P. (author), Quist, J. (author), Van Dijk, S. (author)The introduction of electric mobility is one of the promising options to create a more sustainable mobility system for the future. Electric vehicles offer the promise of major reductions in local CO2, NOX and particulate emissions. In addition, electric vehicles are silent, easy to service and have high ‘well-to-wheel’ energy efficiency. However...conference paper 2010

Forgaci, C. (author), Van Timmeren, A. (author)While the complexity of urban environments is growing, the effectiveness of action-driven strategies appears to be decreasing. This paper speculates on three alternative approaches: (1) strategies of inaction; (2) strategies of subtraction or, even more, (3) strategies of hormesis, that keep their subject (cities, neighbourhoods, communities,...conference paper 2014

Casakin, H. (author), Van Timmeren, A. (author)Analogical reasoning can be seen as an important aid in problem solving, and architectural design problem solving in particular. Analogical reasoning was found to be an important aid supporting architectural education.
