Exploring the Nuances of Designing (with/for) Artificial Intelligence

A fundamental shift in the way society operates is approaching driven by advances in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). Yet, there is a comparative lack of discourse across the design discipline regarding this topic. While there are fragments of methodological readiness for designing (with/for) AI, the nuances of such need to be further...

Redefined Public Floodplain

The design proposal is situated along the edge of the city of Strasbourg, the design deals with a existing flooding problem in the area that currently limits the development of the area. The building looks at providing a new scenic route that crosses through a multitude of different landscapes and elevations. The elevated walkway is meant to...

Redesigning the infrastructure and process of debriefing parcels: A case study at PostNL depot Den Hoorn

The growing parcel volumes have impact on the infrastructure and processes of logistic service providers. The infrastructure and process of debriefing parcels have been researched at PostNL parcels. Alternative methods to perform this process have been designed and evaluated to give an advise how to perform this process in the near future to...

From Infrastructure to Flowscape: The Houtribdijk as an operative landscape structure

The theme of the landscape architecture graduation lab is “Flowscape”. It states the landscape infrastructure is not only a technical structure but also a carrier of natural and urban processes. It is proposed to solve the environmental problems and adapt to the surroundings as well as providing the appropriate environmental conditions for the...

On Robustness of Power Grids

Current and future trends in environmental, economical, and human-caused factors (such as power demand growth, over-ageing of assets in power grids, and extreme weather conditions) challenge power grid robustness in the near future, necessitating research to better analyse and understand the notion of robustness in power grids, and ultimately to...

Urban landscape infrastructures: Designing operative landscape structures for the built environment

This paper explores infrastructure as a type of landscape and landscape as a type of infrastructure. The hybridisation of the two concepts, landscape and infrastructure, seeks to redefine infrastructure beyond its strictly utilitarian definition, while allowing design disciplines to gain operative force in territorial transformation processes....

Urban fast charging stations: A design of efficient public charging infrastructure for large numbers of electric vehicles in cities

How could urban areas provide public charging infrastructure for the rapidly increasing number of electric vehicles? The objective of this research is to develop a tool that helps municipalities and market players to understand the need for public charging infrastructure, and to design an efficient solution for charging large numbers of electric...

Atlas of INSPIRE: Evaluating SDI Development through an Inventory of INSPIRE Experiences of European National Mapping Agencies

The paper describes how practice of INSPIRE implementation are affecting Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) development. It contains the results of a EuroSDR (European Spatial Data Research) project ‘Atlas of INSPIRE implementation methods’. Aim of the project was to make an inventory of experiences when implementing INSPIRE, in order to share...

Ruimtelijke inpassing van lijninfrastructuur: Een onderzoek naar de geschiktheid van inspraakreacties voor het beoordelen van lijninfrastructuurontwerpen

Constructing metropolitan landscapes of actuality and potentiality

The Flat City space syntax model (Read, 2005), has been developed to extend the functionality of the space syntax method into the ‘periphery’ (the metropolitan) of the contemporary metropolitan city, and to provide a method for describing and evaluating the form of contemporary urban landscapes. The Flat City model proposes that the environment...
