Chen, Wen-Yu (author)Transport decision-making determines people’s level of accessibility and deeply influences an individual’s access to social and economic opportunities and the quality of life. Socially vulnerable populations are highly dependent on yet often more likely to have less access to transport services and experience lower accessibility. This creates...master thesis 2023

Schumann, Tim (author)One million homes will be needed in the Netherlands by 2030. Prefabrication in the construction industry can contribute to construct affordable houses, but that results often in standardized and not customized designs. These repetitive designs can be overcome through the introduction of mass-customization in architecture. Computational...master thesis 2023

Pavlidou, Stella (author)In an urban context that needs to be constantly adapted to global crises, population movements, climate change and economic crises, designers and engineers strive to configure solutions that respond to multiple criteria. Within this framework, the concept of generative design is gaining more and more ground in the construction field, allowing...master thesis 2022

Ziemiecka, Ewa (author)We spent hours sitting in silence, until he turned his eyes away from the window and spoke: ‘I would like to tell you one last story, It has been decided, there will be no more travels beyond the edge for me.’ In the following days I heard, not one but five, stories of people M encountered – inhabitants of the land he traveled to. Truth be told,...master thesis 2022

von Seyfried, Moritz (author)The Ethereal Engine combines fitness with gaming and VR. By using two actuated armatures and foot platforms, the machine can provide users with force feedback while they enjoy a multitude of simulations that do not feel like a workout at all. Regular physical exercise is very difficult for many people. This can lead to poor health and increased...master thesis 2022

Park, kyu (author)The demand for lower construction costs comes at the price of duplicating architectural designs. As a result, the misperception that modular architecture is repetitive prevails. However, the developments in computational design and MMC (modern methods of construction) can suggest a standardized manufacturing approach to provide mass...master thesis 2022

Veselý, Ondrej (author)Despite being relatively novel, generative adversarial networks (GAN) have already been appropriated for application to several problems within the field of architectural and urban generative design. However, the preceding GAN based models for building massing generation make use of only simplified and two dimensional representation of the built...master thesis 2022

Ketelaar, Max (author)This thesis concerns the application of different multi-objective optimization (MOO) methods and strategies for finding the optimal envelope for a given building plot and lighting performance indicators. More specifically, the PV potential and daylighting potential of the building are maximized using different optimization solvers. Auxilliary...master thesis 2022

Estrado, Erron (author), Turrin, M. (author), Eigenraam, P. (author)As technology advances, architects often employ innovative, non-standard shapes in their designs for the fast-growing number of high-rise buildings. Conversely, climate change is bringing about an increasing number of dangerous wind events causing damage to buildings and their surroundings. These factors further complicate the already...journal article 2022

GEN:ARCH: Platform for developing Architectural Configurations using Generative design MethodologiesSoman, Aditya Pravin (author)The Constructing industry around the world is growing exponentially. In the Netherlands itself there is a need of constructing 1 million affordable new homes by 2030. Such a massive demand for new buildings has given rise to a need for a solution for mass customization of architectural configurations. Simple repetition or a badly configured...master thesis 2021

Spitz, Bob (author)Buildings are responsible for 40% of the total global energy use and over 30% of all global greenhouse gas emissions. To minimize environmental impact, building designers are increasingly looking beyond traditional design methods to optimize building designs for low environmental impact. Despite the high variety of environmental impact...master thesis 2021

FLOROU, Anastasia (author)The typical solar energy potential simulation workflows used in the AEC industry require an abundance of information regarding the detailed geometry and materialization of the design. These requisites render them incompatible with early-stage design decision-making pertaining to form-finding. By performing solar energy potential simulations at...student report 2021

Petrova, Leticija (author), Maeda, Haruka (author)The term AI has entered the creative industry in the last decades. Computer based design is now omnipresent in everyday life. Will AI take over the creative industry? Can they autonomously be creative? These are some of the headlines propagated by the mainstream media. This paper will unveil the human labor behind these computer generated...student report 2021

Bitting, S. (author), Azadi, S. (author), Nourian, Pirouz (author)In contrast to the contemporary aesthetic account, Muqarnas are geometrically complex variations of Squinches used for structural integration of rectilinear geometries and curved geometries. Inspired by the historical functionality of Muqarnas, we present a generalized computational workflow for generating dry-fit stacking modules from two...conference paper 2021
