Brosens, P. (author), Bedir, M. (author)The modernity concept originated in western theoretical/philosophical thought. Characterised by secular, scientific, social and economic developments, it significantly affected arts and architecture. Modernism, its 20th century cultural outcome, was heterogeneous in nature and commonly related to local progress and technique. The Modern Project...conference paper 2014

Stouffs, R.M.F. (author)This paper explores a generalized specification for descriptions and description rules, on the basis of an extensive overview of applications of description grammars in literature. The aim of this research is to establish a formal representation for description rules and the implementation of a grammar interpreter that supports the specification...conference paper 2014

Hubers, H.J.C. (author), Turrin, M. (author), Erbas, I. (author), Chatzikonstantinou, I. (author)project faces challenges in properly sharing information across disciplines. This research developed a method and related digital tool to improve collaborative design and aimed at making selected information to be shared faster and more transparently. The method consists of developing alternative parametric solutions for different parts of the...conference paper 2014

Zubairu, T.O. (author), Sariyildiz, I.S. (author), Ciftcioglu, O. (author)The care for the elderly and people with disability increasingly demand more ingenuity to undertake, especially as it relates to the built environment. The impact of the physical environment on health has been widely documented. The knowledge of the special needs/preferences of this vulnerable group of users (people suffering from Alzheimer,...conference paper 2014

Mostafavi, S. (author), Tanti, M. (author)This paper presents a computational design methodology through describing of a case study on stone building system. In addition to establishing a performance driven form-finding methodology, the objective is to redefine local craftsmanship methods as industrial fabrication techniques in order to introduce the constructability of the design...conference paper 2014

Gosseye, J. (author)By 1967, Brisbane architecture students had had enough. Disenchantment with their “out-dated” architectural education and the rigidity of the Australian architectural establishment opened out onto the wider context of the Moratorium opposing the Vietnam War, and the peculiarly conservative and reactionary Queensland Government of Johannes Bjelke...conference paper 2014

Cruiming, R. (author), Cuperus, Y.J. (author), Mulder, A. (author)Poor economies find themselves in an almost no-win situation: They would benefit from improving the economic situations of the very poor by making them self-supporting and economically productive. However, the very poor are occupied by daily survival and thus cannot afford themselves to improve. This paper describes the status quo of a...conference paper 2014

Granneman, S.J.C. (author), Ruiz-Agudo, E. (author), Lubelli, B. (author), Van Hees, R.P.J. (author), Rodriguez-Navarro, C. (author)The use of crystallization modifiers for the prevention or mitigation of salt crystallization damage has recently received a lot of research interest in the field of building conservation. However, the use of crystallization modifiers mixed in a lime-based mortar, is still a very new field of research. This paper summarizes the literature study...conference paper 2014

Quist, W.J. (author), Van Bommel, A.J. (author)This paper discusses the aesthetical aspects of ageing and focusses on the use of the terms ‘patina’ and ‘damage’ to decide on the cleaning of historical facades and the application of artificial ageing. Conservation campaigns can be characterized by the wish to preserve an object, building or building complex as a coherent piece of Cultural...conference paper 2014

Lubelli, B. (author), Van Hees, R.P.J. (author), Nijland, T.G. (author)Salt crystallization is a major cause of damage in porous building materials. Notwithstanding the extensive research in this field, the complexity of the problem has hindered the use of mathematical models for forecasting ageing and damage due to salt crystallization. Nowadays, the durability of materials with respect to salt crystallization is...conference paper 2014

Smits, J.E.P. (author)This paper deals with the use of Fibre Reinforced Polymers (FRP's) in architectural and structural bridge design. The challenges and opportunities that come with this relatively new material are discussed. An inventory is made of recent engineers' solutions in FRP, followed by a discussion on architectural application of FRP's derived from the...conference paper 2014

Konstantinou, T. (author), Knaack, U. (author)Given the very low renewal rate of the building stock, the efforts to reduce energy demand must focus on the existing residential buildings. Even though awareness has been raised, the effect on energy efficiency is often neglected during the design phase of refurbishment projects. This paper discusses an integrated approach to energy-efficiency...conference paper 2013

Van Hees, R.P.J. (author)The usefulness of treatment of facades of historic buildings and especially those with the status of listed monument is often discussed. Surface treatments of facades comprise a range of treatments, from water repellents to consolidants and anti-graffiti coatings. Even facade cleaning can be considered a facade treatment. Treatment of monuments...conference paper 2013
