Uytenhaak, D.W. (author)In a changing world, where the population will grow up to 9 billion people, the primary needs will be threatened. Our food is at average traveling 2500 km, can we bring this production local in the city? The project is a design of a vertical urban farm, where the conditions to produce can be optimized and the distance to the consumer is...master thesis 2011

Markerink, S.C. (author)The goal of this project has been to test if urban farming can help in empty office redevelopment; if it can have an added social, architectural and functional value. The main test object was the existing Q-Port-building in the west of Amsterdam (50% empty at the moment). During the process, architectural aspects like space, form, composition,...master thesis 2014

Graamans, L.J.A. (author)Problem definition and objective. Population growth and rapid urbanisation may result in a shortage of food supplies in the future. Existing high-rise buildings may offer opportunities for the solution of this problem. The objective of this study was to investigate aspects of the requirements, design and energetic performances in the re-...master thesis 2015

Ebbenhorst, Anne (author)Centraal Beheer in Apeldoorn by dutch architect Herman Hertzberger is considered an icon of structuralism, an architectural movement concerned with human scale, repetition and flexibility. Now vacant, it poses an interesting question on what to do with structuralist heritage in the Netherlands. This plan proposes a multifunctional program...master thesis 2019

Schuit, David (author)Indoor cultivation by use of climate-cells provides a higher consistency, quality and more reliable method of producing fruits and vegetables in comparison to greenhouse cultivation. These aspects become increasingly important as we face the challenges brought by higher populations and climate change. However, currently the costs of indoor food...master thesis 2019

Graamans, L.J.A. (author), Tenpierik, M.J. (author), van den Dobbelsteen, A.A.J.F. (author), Stanghellini, Cecilia (author)The increase in global food demand has led to the introduction of new food production systems. One key example is the plant factory. Plant factories face the same challenge as many high-tech building functions: high energy demands resulting from high internal heat loads. In this study we investigate how this energy demand can be reduced...journal article 2020

Koning, Tim (author)The world’s current food system is unsustainable and considering the increasing human population, there is a demand for innovations in the circular food production. Simultaneously, food security be comes a topic of interest as greenhouse gasses cause more extreme weather conditions. Vertical farming potentially plays a vital role in the food...master thesis 2021

Verdegaal, Sam (author)With phenomena such as population growth and urbanisation, expanding cities no longer derive their food supply from their hinterlands but rely on the global food trade which includes vast greenhouse and open-field agriculture. Given the limited availability of land, water and nutrients together with the uncertainty of a changing climate, the...master thesis 2021

Ekici, B. (author), Türkcan, Okan (author), Turrin, M. (author), Sariyildiz, I.S. (author), Tasgetiren, Mehmet Fatih (author)The increase in global population, which negatively affects energy consumption, CO2 emissions, and arable land, necessitates designing sustainable habitation alternatives. Self-sufficient high-rise buildings, which integrate (electricity) generation and efficient usage of resources with dense habitation, can be a sustainable solution for future...journal article 2022

Blom, T. (author), Jenkins, A.J. (author), Pulselli, Riccardo (author), van den Dobbelsteen, A.A.J.F. (author)Over the past decades, various farming methods have evolved in response to the global challenges of increasing food demands, decreasing availability of arable land, and climate change. One of these new farming methods is vertical farming. To understand the contribution of vertical farms to future sustainable food production, beyond its efficient...journal article 2022

Karnaszewska, Adrianna (author)Urban foodscapes project addresses issues concerning the food supply chain in London. It aims to combat problems created by current agri-business practice such as long, complex logistical chains, food waste, carbon emissions, wasted water, energy, labour and land scarcity. Foodscape, being both global and local, lies on the intersection of...master thesis 2022

Pleijt, Lisa (author)The goal of this research is to understand the types of data sources and their applications within vertical farms. It does so from both a systems and a people’s perspective. From the systems perspective, literature research was conducted to find definitions of prevailing industry system definitions, metrics and KPIs. For the people’s perspective...master thesis 2022

Colsen, Quincy (author)This thesis focuses on a vertical farming system designed for growing crops. The system’s deficiencies were identified during a company visit where the system was operating. An analysis was conducted to see when all deficiencies would be resolved. It revealed that the vertical farm robot had to be redesigned to grab seven benches deep to...master thesis 2024
