Gallissian, J. (author)This project proposes to adress the infrastructure of mobility as generator and tool for urbanization in the context of Addis Abeba. However, many African cities are subject to a massive economical and demographical growth challenging the existing urban condition. The infrastructure of mobility is a key element in the modernization process and...master thesis 2015

Nikolaou, M.S.N. (author), Veer, F.A. (author), Eigenraam, P. (author)Free-form transparent wide-span spatial structures which have being constructed so far, are based on the concept of three sets of components, the structural components, usually steel elements to ensure both compressive and tensional capacity; the glass cladding elements for expressing transparency; and thirdly an in between set for connecting...conference paper 2015

Turrin, M. (author), Sariyildiz, I.S. (author), Paul, J.C. (author)Focusing on large span structures for sport buildings, the paper tackles the role of parametric modelling and performance simulations, to enhance the integration between architectural and engineering design. The general approach contrasts post-engineering processes. In post-engineering, technical performances are considered in late stages of...conference paper 2015

Yang, D. (author), Sun, Y. (author), Turrin, M. (author), von Buelow, P. (author), Paul, J.C. (author)Currently, in the conceptual envelope design of sports facilities, multiple engineering performance feedbacks (e.g. daylight, energy and structural performance) are expected to assist architectural design decision-making. In general, it is known as Building Performance Optimization in the conceptual architectural design phase. Essentially, it...conference paper 2015

Eigenraam, P. (author), Schipper, H.R. (author)Flexible moulds for production of double curved elements could offer a solution for challenges in realizing freeform architectural design which tends to be costly and time consuming. However developments are still ongoing and promising methods that result in highly accurate elements still remain to be proven. When surfaces are deformed into a...conference paper 2015

Wang, X. (author), Koç, Y. (author), Derrible, S. (author), Nasir Ahmad, Sk. (author), Kooij, R.E. (author)Metros (heavy rail transit systems) are integral parts of urban transportation systems. Failures in their operations can have serious impacts on urban mobility, and measuring their robustness is therefore critical. Moreover, as physical networks, metros can be viewed as network topological entities, and as such they possess measurable network...conference paper 2015

Nourian Ghadikolaee, P. (author), Van der Hoeven, F.D. (author), Rezvani, S. (author), Sariyildiz, I.S. (author)We discuss fundamentals of a new computational approach to configurative analysis and synthesis and present a number of advancements we have made in the direction of computational analysis of walking and cycling mobility. We have scrutinized the notion of distance and addressed it in correspondence with the notion of geodesic or optimum path. We...conference paper 2015

Pijpers-van Esch, M.M.E. (author)The urban microclimate has a significant impact on people’s physical health. Effects range from discomfort, for example sleep disturbance, to life- threatening conditions, such as heat stroke, skin and lung cancer. It is therefore vital that the urban microclimate is given considerable attention in the urban design process. The PhD research...doctoral thesis 2015

Rusu, B.A. (author)Problem Statement: Currently, depression is treated in large mental hospitals or psychiatric facilities that create a negative environment around the patients. Research Questions: 1.Why should a depression treatment center be different from a typical psychiatric clinic? 2. How can the building program support the patient’s need for social...master thesis 2015

Van Toorenburg, A.P. (author)The Thesis and architectural Design is part of the studio's attempt to rethink and reorganise the US-Mexico border region. We found that although the region has a lot of potential, hostile politics and problems of mobility result in a region which is unable to deal with its problems, and the potential remains untapped. In absence of the border...master thesis 2015

Van Wijnbergen, E.C. (author)In 2012 an earthquake measuring 3.6 on the scale of Richter struck the village of Huizinge; this quake was the heaviest so far recorded in the region. This shocked the community: earthquakes, a serious threat in the Netherlands? The earthquakes are acknowledged to be caused by the production of natural gas of the Groningen gas field.
