Kroon, Ruby (author)This research analysed the effects of using an AR co-design environment as a supportive tool during design meetings, on the interaction within a project team.<br/>Lacking interaction is a problem that occurs project wide in the construction industry and can cause diverse effects, leading to mistakes and rework. This lack often originates in the...master thesis 2018

Göbel, Ellen (author)The gradual standardization of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in the construction industry is a current trend that implies changes in conventional processes and practices. The implementation of BIM in construction projects promises numerous benefits, which, however, are not fully exploited in practices. This research investigates the...master thesis 2018

van der Zanden, Pepijn (author)Companies and organisations are increasingly exposed to a market environment full of turbulence and disruption. Perry (2017), for instance, shows that only 60 companies were present in the Fortune 500 in 1955 as well as in 2017, meaning that 88% of the companies from 1955 went bankrupt, merged with (or were overtaken by) other firms or were not...master thesis 2018

Krimm, J. (author)Today’s city centres in European metropolitan areas are comprised of facades made of steel, glass and stone. These hard reflective facades are amplifying the perception of noise sources by human ears in their vicinity. Up to now in building designs this effect is neglected. Thus the number of people harmed by noise is increasing with the...doctoral thesis 2018

Bakens, Geertje (author)Architectural theory has illuminated the inherently connected relationship between fashion and architecture. Both disciplines shelter the body, react to spatial volume, rely on a process, and take a work of creativity from its two-dimensional concept into a three-dimensional reality. But the end result does not come out of the blue. It is the...master thesis 2018

van den Hoven, Maurits (author)Blockchain technology provides new methods of value transferring and data coordination, which could potentially benefit the changing management needs for the Dutch electricity sector. However, little research is done on how such a blockchain should be implemented and how it could best cooperate with the electricity markets. The goal of this...master thesis 2018

de Vries, Rinze (author)Flood risk is increasing due to climate change and the growth of the potential consequences of flooding. Analysing how flood-proof the spatial plan is, therefore becomes more important. Since most spatial planners have limited knowledge concerning flood risk, the Netherlands’ Directorate-General for Public Works and Water Management commissioned...master thesis 2018

Veitch, D.E. (author), Bochner, Melissa (author), Fellner, Lilian (author), Leigh, Christopher (author), Owen, Harry (author)Our objective was to design, develop and validate better clinical breast examination (CBE) models addressing the deficiencies of previous models. Detailed research and a<br/>methodological design approach led to the development of a new technique for creating lifelike models for teaching CBE. Six multi-layered breast models representing a range...journal article 2018

Camere, S. (author), Schifferstein, Hendrik N.J. (author), Bordegoni, Monica (author)Designing for pleasurable and engaging product experiences requires an understanding of how users will experience the product, sometimes at a very abstract level. This focus on user experiences, rather than on the formal qualities of the product, might cause difficulties for designers in the materialization of design ideas. Designers need to...journal article 2018

de Jong, Eduard (author)<b>Introduction: </b>The context of mobility is changing rapidly and new mobility solutions are gaining momentum. Ford is expanding towards an auto and a mobility company and experiments with offering mobility solutions. These experiments should help Ford in discovering emerging opportunities. Traditional product development is not suitable for...master thesis 2017

Verheij, Bob (author)This thesis is concerned with the question of in what way laser cutting can better support the creative design processes of students. Laser cutting has many benefits over other manufacturing options, including high accuracy, aesthetics, consistency and in general high speed, form freedom and repeatability. In creative education, laser cutting...master thesis 2017

Lee, Alex (author)The history of Taiwan is closely attached to the establishment of transportation infrastructure. The thriving scene of urban Taiwan emerged in the 70s after the establishment of several national level infrastructure projects. They have become the backbone of both Taiwan's past economic glory as well the daily necessity of present society. As the...master thesis 2017

Curry, T.M. (author)While the consideration of functional and technical criteria, as well as a sense of coherence are basic requirements for solving a design problem; it is the ability to induce an intended quality of aesthetic experience that is the hallmark of design expertise. Expert designers possess a highly developed sense of design, or what in this research...doctoral thesis 2017

Knipscheer, T. (author)This report describes the design process that led to the concept of the combination of a toy and an app with the name ‘Paint’. The project is executed for the Amsterdam based toy development company iD-8, that normally designs mostly based on briefs by well known toy publishers. iD-8 is interested in the potentially untapped computing power of...master thesis 2016

Jansen, L.L.M.J. (author)In this report you will find the research I did to innovative façade design processes. To come up with an innovative façade engineering for the Tianjin library in china and make a proper comparison to a more product specific engineering, I first need to learn more about façades in general. To achieve this I read several books, talk to different...master thesis 2016
