Tan, T. (author), Mills, Grant (author), Papadonikolaki, E. (author)Modularity is an approach to simplify systems and reduce complexity. However, existing research suggests that a mono-dimensional modularity strategy, focusing solely on one dimension, such as product, process, or organization, might not fully achieve these goals in design activities. This research investigates how combining strategies from...journal article 2024

Goss, H. (author), Tromp, N. (author), Schifferstein, Hendrik N.J. (author)In recent years, more designers have been engaging in transitions, for which design expertise is used to develop visions of long-term desirable futures. However, little is known about how design expertise is positioned in transition visioning processes. In this case study, we follow a design agency in envisioning a future food system for a...journal article 2024

Scheurwater, Bart (author)Witteveen+Bos as part of construction consortium Nautilus, has prepared the design of a sea defence system in Middelkerke. The very shallow water conditions (h/Hm0 = 0.3) and complex geometry of the structure, i.e. a high berm and stepped revetment, caused uncertainties in the usage of the empirical equations from the EurOtop Manual (2018) for...master thesis 2022

Nanninga, Michiel (author)Covid-19, the Suez canal blockade and a decreasing amount of larger shipping companies have changed the container shipping industry. A power shift from the exporter towards the shipping companies is occurring, paired with capacity constraints and surging container transportation prices indicating a global container shortage. Exporters of large...master thesis 2022

Çetin, Sultan (author), Straub, A. (author), Gruis, V.H. (author)The world is facing an alarming housing crisis. The challenge for the construction industry is to find sustainable ways to meet this growing housing demand. The concept of Circular Economy could be an alternative approach as it aims to regenerate, narrow, slow, and close resources loops. Digital technologies are seen as enablers to implementing...conference paper 2022

Çetin, Sultan (author), Gruis, V.H. (author), Straub, A. (author)Digital technologies are considered enablers of circular economy implementation in the built environment. Literature mainly focuses on conceptual or review studies examining the role of digital tools (e.g., material passport and building information modelling) to close the material loops. There is a lack of understanding of how digital...journal article 2022

van Staveren, D. (author), Cuppen, Eefje (author), Heurkens, E.W.T.M. (author), Vos, Marije (author)Construction sectors have a long way to go to realize a circular economy. Many organizational barriers and institutional characteristics inhibit the sector’s transition to circular practices. Nevertheless, within this early phase of the transition, several building projects were realized. This research aims to learn from these frontrunners, in...conference paper 2022

Jansen, B. (author), van Stijn, A. (author), Gruis, V.H. (author), van Bortel, G.A. (author)The built environment can be made more circular by gradually replacing building components with more circular components during construction, renovation, or maintenance. However, many different design options can be seen as circular. Although there is a growing number of studies about circular design options, research on what makes these options...journal article 2022

Mars, Laura (author)In this thesis, a simulation cost model is presented that can be used to assess the cost-effectiveness of a selection of PdM programs. The proposed model combines a discrete event simulation (DES) model with a cost model. It is specifically designed to analyse the PdM programs for the vacuum compressor pumps at Duyvis. All the PdM programs...master thesis 2021
