Feenstra, Rienk (author)
This study investigates the feasibility of manufacturing wooden elements using Layer Object Manufacturing (LOM) technology to replace steel nodes in the built environment. LOM offers significant advantages in allowing the designer to dictate the grain direction of each layer of material and optimize the cutting process, potentially reducing the...

Yoganand, Anagha (author)
The past few years has seen an increase in number of demolitions of office buildings due to the lack of adaptability based on rapid user change demands, in the Netherlands. Furthermore, the construction industry contributes towards 50% of the raw material consumption and is responsible for 40% of the total waste generation in the country....

Panda, Subhranshu (author)
Passive measures to tackle increasing energy demands of modern buildings are aimed to generate energy from the roof or the ground beneath and by improving insulation to isolate indoors and outdoors. The author targets the opaque facade sections of a building to develop an active panel to exchange solar thermal energy with his project THERM...

Humans are going to Mars and the plan is to achieve this within the next couple of decades. In mission architectures the habitat is considered a sub-system in the overall mission’s system architecture. In current mission engineering, the crew’s psychology is barely considered in the design of the mission. In aerospace engineering, one refers to...

Koenen, Willem (author)
For this thesis an additively manufactured(AM) glass connection was researched. The aim was to see if it was possible to use plastic based AM for end use parts in the façade. This was done in three parts, which are presented in this thesis. The first part consists of research in all currently available technology that could be used to create...

The topic of this graduation project is the design of an adaptive fabric façade for a high-rise in Paris. The stimulus for this choice was the turn of nowadays towards lightweight materials and constructions, a trend that is growing tremendously. Glass façades always remain popular and are frequently used in all kinds of buildings. For instance,...

The purpose of this research is to explore the energy balance within an offshore accommodation. The research is done In cooperation with Keppel Verolme BV. and the TU Delft for the department of Building Technology. The offshore accommodation is analysed in terms of structure and energy consumption, as is the typical environmental conditions in...

The cost associated with producing concrete elements has a direct link to its geometry. Further cost is incurred if panels have variable thicknesses throughout their cross-section. These variations can take the form of edge-returns in cladding elements (required for detailing), stiffening ribs (required for structure) or simply surface textures ...

Stavrou, I. (author)
The Adaptive membrane envelope subject originates from the upcoming need for more lightweight structures in the building sector. Since high amounts of energy are wasted for construction and erection of buildings, the idea for lightness becomes essential especially in the case of office buildings, the glass facades of which can weight thousands...

Improvement on effectiveness provided by an exergy analysis used in a renovation design. An exergy analysis of the Prêt-à-Loger house (TU Delft, Green Village) is done with dynamic calculations using TRNSYS software. From this analysis an exergy optimized version of the renovation concept is provided, with insight on the potential effectiveness...

In a research of the World Health Organization (2011) it is shown that environmental noise is number two on the list of health risks. Environmental noise is linked to certain health conditions ranging from annoyance to heart attacks and is caused by the growing number of noise sources in the urban environment. An important aspect influencing the...

Developments in additive manufacturing (AM) in engineering cause the adoption of a design approach with functionally graded printed cellular solids to become more feasible. Functionally graded materials, which are materials with a spatially varying composition, are omnipresent in nature. Such materials offer high material efficiency – thus...

Windload is a critical force effect to high-rise structure. With this lateral load, the building requires large amount of material for structure in order to handle this load. Adaptive façade that is designed to respond to wind direction and velocity can reduce this lateral load and reduce the demand of structure. The result will be that the...
