The Effect of a Topology Optimization based Generative Design tool on the Engineering Design ProcessVercoulen, Emma (author)In the engineering industry, all structural parts have to be designed as efficient and lightweight as possible. Traditionally, the design process has been carried out through manual design iterations, which can be time-consuming and require significant engineering expertise. Over the last decades however, several computational design techniques...master thesis 2023

Adamczyk, Hanna (author)Architectural drawing was always a main tool for us – Architects. Transferring thoughts to paper is something that allows us to communicate our ideas and make them more tangible. But the drawing itself has another unique feature – it is always very personal. We all have an extraordinary imagination that allows us to become special creators and...student report 2023

Dubbeldam, Nick (author)This research aims to improve the structural safety of wide floor slabs with openings due to embedded non-structural elements. The multidisciplinary design of these slabs has resulted in various safety issues, including errors in the design due to the absence of a calculation method and insufficient integration between designs of different...master thesis 2023

From Requirements to Product: an MBSE Approach for the Digitalization of the Aircraft Design ProcessBruggeman, A.M.R.M. (author), la Rocca, G. (author)During the aircraft conceptual design phase, many different design options need to be explored and compared in a short time frame. To speed up this process, efforts have been made in the past decades to digitalize parts of the design process, with a focus on the automation of the repetitive and non-creative tasks inherent to the iterative design...journal article 2023

Crevels, Eric (author), Mejia Hernandez, J.A. (author)The study of built objects has always played a key role in the education of the architect. At the earliest stages of training most of us sat in front of buildings and drew them, trying to capture their overall features and minute details. What appears simple is, in fact, an extremely meaningful exercise. It presumes that drawing an existing...report 2023

Nouws, S.J.J. (author), Martinez de Rituerto de Troya, I. (author), Dobbe, R.I.J. (author), Janssen, M.F.W.H.A. (author)Algorithmic and data-driven systems are increasingly used in the public sector to improve the efficiency of existing services or to provide new services through the newfound capacity to process vast volumes of data. Unfortunately, certain instances also have negative consequences for citizens, in the form of discriminatory outcomes, arbitrary...conference paper 2023

Cash, Philip (author), Gonçalves, M. (author), Dorst, Kees (author)Designers often face situations where the only way forward is through the exploration of possibilities. However, there is a critical disconnect between understanding of how designer's think and act in such situations. We address this disconnect by proposing and testing (via protocol analysis) the cognitive co-evolution model. Our model...journal article 2023

Dos Santos Vieira Brysch, S.L. (author), Garcia i Mateu, Adrià (author), Czischke, D.K. (author)Against the increasing commodification of housing, a new kind of housing cooperatives has emerged in Catalonia in the last decade. These cooperatives fall within the wider concept of collaborative housing (CH), i.e. they are collectively self-organised projects based on a collaborative design process, or ‘co-design’. In such a process,...journal article 2023

Chauhan, Pragya (author)The building industry accounts for almost 40% of the total carbon emissions that are directly responsible for climate change. So far, we have been following a linear economy model which follows a concept of “take-make-use-dispose” and causes a significantly large burden on the natural environment. For this reason, transition to a circular...master thesis 2022

van der Kooij, Sander (author)This thesis researches the influence of user participation on design. It focusses specifically on user participation in the design of community centres in Rotterdam, 1960-1990. First, a literature investigation has been conducted to establish context and theory on user participation in architecture. Secondly, research on three study cases has...student report 2022

Gaete Cruz, M. (author), Ersoy, A. (author), Czischke, D.K. (author), van Bueren, Ellen (author)With the increasing social and ecological pressures on urban settlements, re-thinking how we produce them becomes a growing concern. Due to the diversity of actors across sectors and backgrounds involved in such design processes, collaboration is of utmost importance. Co-design can thus play a crucial role in integrating aims and knowledge as...journal article 2022
