Badarnah Kadri, L. (author)Several biomimetic design strategies are available for various applications, though the research on biomimetics as a design tool in architecture is still challenging. This is due to a lack of systematic design tools required for identifying relevant organisms, or natural systems, and abstracting the corresponding generic principles for...doctoral thesis 2012

Havik, K.M. (author)This dissertation discusses how literature offers valuable ways to become aware of how people experience, use, and imagine places. It argues that Lefebvre’s concept of "lived space", experienced and lived through by characters, evoking memories and imaginations, is the space that we encounter in the evocative descriptions of places and spaces by...doctoral thesis 2012

Bilow, M. (author)"International Façades - CROFT" links the fields of architecture, building services and building physics. It aims at an international diversity in façade design to reduce energy consumption in building design. Current architectural planning practices, such as the International Style, perceive the climate often as a problem, rather than an...doctoral thesis 2012

Polman, M.G. (author)De aanleiding voor het schrijven van een proefschrift over de kleuren van het nieuwe bouwen waren de vele materiaaltechnische kleuronderzoeken die door mij zijn uitgevoerd ten behoeve van restauratie van monumenten van het nieuwe bouwen. De gebouwen blijken kleurrijk te zijn geweest maar dat is nauwelijks in geschreven bronnen terug te vinden....doctoral thesis 2011

Madureira, A.J.P.S. (author)The extraordinary level of interest worldwide in Digital Information Networks (DINs)’ deployment is due to the strong perception that they bring economic, social and environmental value. However, scientific attempts to evidence this perception lead to speculative, elusive or limited conclusions. In this thesis, we propose a novel framework to...doctoral thesis 2011

Beshir, A.A. (author)Optical networks employing Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) technology allow the multiplexing of several independent wavelength channels into a fiber. Since each wavelength channel operates independently at several Gb/s, WDM optical networks offer a tremendous transport capacity (which is in the order of several Tb/s), which makes them...doctoral thesis 2011

Hurx, M. (author)In de Late Middeleeuwen werd de basis gelegd van onze huidige architectenpraktijk en bouweconomie. Dit onderzoek laat zien hoe commercialisering in de vijftiende eeuw heeft geleid tot het ontstaan van ‘typisch’ moderne kenmerken van de bouwwereld, zoals de scheiding tussen ontwerp en uitvoering, openbare aanbesteding, prefab en de combinatie van...doctoral thesis 2010

Omic, J. (author)Epidemic theory has wide range of applications in computer networks, from spreading of malware to the information dissemination algorithms. Our society depends more strongly than ever on such computer networks. Many of these networks rely to a large extent on decentralization and self-organization. While decentralization removes obvious...doctoral thesis 2010

Rogic, T. (author)This thesis deals with design guidelines, as defined in the field of architectural conservation, by focusing on the problem of the conversion of industrial buildings. It is generally agreed that the best way to secure the future life of industrial heritage is through their adaptive reuse. The former function of ‘production’ for these buildings...doctoral thesis 2009

Altürk, E. (author)This study is about architectural drawings. I especially address how drawings operate in architecture theory, and stress a particular role that they play in facilitating critique and speculation as theoretical activities. In this sense, I dwell on the capacity of architectural drawing not only as representation but also as non-verbal polemic and...doctoral thesis 2009

Bracken, G. (author)This work is an investigation into Shanghai’s role in the twenty-first century as it attempts to rejoin the global city network. It also examines the effects this move is having on the city, its people, and its public spaces. Shanghai’s intention to turn itself into the New York of Asia is not succeeding, in fact the city might be better trying...doctoral thesis 2009

Wu, J. (author)The aim of the study is to develop a ‘design tool’, that is a method to enhance the design and planning of facilities for the sustainable production of new knowledge. More precisely, the objective is to identify a method to support the conception of building complexes related to the long-term production of new knowledge. The tool is focused on...doctoral thesis 2005
