Fahrner, Daphne (author)Concerning the built environment, some spaces in and around buildings symbolise the edge and intercommunication between two opposites and are therefore difficult to define. These so-called in-between spaces represent a threshold between polarities, such as inside and outside or private and public. The Harbour Police Station in Rotterdam consists...master thesis 2022

Rijnsdorp, D.P. (author), Wolgamot, Hugh (author), Zijlema, Marcel (author)Predictions of the wave-induced response of floating structures that are moored in a harbour or coastal waters require an accurate description of the (nonlinear) evolution of waves over variable bottom topography, the interactions of the waves with the structure, and the dynamics of the mooring system. In this paper, we present a new advanced...journal article 2022

Bahadoer, Felicia (author)The Maassilo is a former silo building where grain was being stored that came from ships in the Maashaven and then processed to eventually be shipped elsewhere by trains along the building. This ongoing harbour activity played an important part in the stimulation of the industrial development of Rotterdam Harbour and along with this also in the...master thesis 2021

van Ingen, Floris (author), Geleijnse, Jan (author), Curzi, Fabio (author), Kingma, Pieter (author)On request of Royal Boskalis Westminster N.V. a comprehensive research was performed regarding emission free maintenance dredging in a harbour environment. The project site is the Maasmond at the port of Rotterdam. It covers an area of almost 10 km2 and, on average, a monthly volume of 400.000 cubic meters of sediment needs to be dredged. The...student report 2021

Stogiannis, Tryfon (author)The Fenix II building, located in the inner city port area of Rotterdam, has been an integral part of the city's history in both architectural and cultural terms. Serving as storage space after the 1920's for the emigrants of the country, and as industrial storage after the 1950's, it becomes today part of the modern redevelopments of the...master thesis 2021

Kuiper, Annemijn (author)The graduation studio ‘Harbour Heritage 2020-2021’ offered by the section of Heritage & Architecture, takes place in the city of Rotterdam. Rotterdam is a port city with a vivid history, it has many stories to tell, however, those stories are not always visible in the physical form. Cultural harbour heritage, like the old cotton warehouse...master thesis 2021

Bramer, Fons (author)The Fenix II (former San Francisco) warehouse was built in 1922 and commissioned by the ‘Holland America Lijn’. It functioned as a warehouse for household effects for emigrants to the US. This project explores the architectural possibilities for redeveloping the Fenix II building into a public building relating to integration and education.master thesis 2021

van der Beek, Teun (author)Between 1850 and 1900, the city of Rotterdam transformed into an international harbour city. In the twentieth century, the harbour rapidly grew larger to being the largest harbour in the world for over forty years. The first part of the Maassilo was built in the beginning of the twentieth century. As the harbour grew larger, the Maassilo...master thesis 2021

Harteveld, Maurice (author)Imagine: You are asked to draw a port city from memory. What would you put on paper? Do you think of harbours? Water, docks, cargo, moving loads, and ships? If your drawing shows these elements, don’t be surprised. Sixty-five graduate students also took on the challenge. In answering: “draw the port city of Rotterdam by mind”, the drawings of...report 2020

Lavidas, G. (author), De Leo, Francesco (author), Besio, Giovanni (author)Coastal resilience is often achieved by traditional civil engineering projects, such as dikes and breakwaters. However, given the pressing nature of Climate Change, integrating energy converters in “classical” structures can enhance innovation, and help in pursuing decarbonisation targets. In this work, we present an alternative for integrating...journal article 2020

Chotkan, S.A. (author), Esmeijer, M. (author), Goerdat, R.B.S. (author), Hendriks, O. (author), Stolp, T. (author)This report considers a possible port expansion in port of Scheveningen, The Netherlands. The problems considered are brought forwards in the plans introduced by Dr. Ir. Waterman and are tackled from multiple disciplines. These problems relate to the recharge of the freshwater-lens, reachability of the port, flood protection of the Tweede Haven,...student report 2020

Tempel, Auke (author)Regular maintainance dredging is a large expense to the Port of Rotterdam, therefore the installation of sediment traps is considered. By increasing the bathymetry locally, an increase of local accumulation is expected and a decrease deeper in the harbour basin. This thesis describes the functioning of sediment traps in a stratified tidally...master thesis 2019

Maroudi, Konstantina (author)A main challenge port engineers had to tackle in recent years is wave penetration inside a harbour, as it determines vessels’ safe sailing and mooring, possibly causes unwanted vessel movements, and unequivocally regulates the execution of port operations. A physical scale model can describe wave penetration in a complete way. However, the...master thesis 2019

Klarenbeek, Rick (author)This research describes a new method called SWDD (Klopman, Witteveen+Bos, 2018b), which can obtain information on wave propagation directions from the surface elevations at a set of positions. The primary intention of the method is to separate multiple incoming wave components, i.e. wave heights, phases and directions. The goal is to obtain the...master thesis 2018

Alewijn, Nicole (author)The world faces another energy transition. The fossil fuels era slowly transforms into the era of renewable energy. But what happens to the fossil fuel related industries. This project specifically focusses on the oil industry. Previous energy transitions in the Netherlands have given us much industrial heritage. The windmills of Kinderdijk, the...master thesis 2018

Loef, Audrey (author)The monument ‘Katoenveem’ used to be part of the industrial harbour of Rotterdam as warehouse. It was specifically constructed for the operational purpose of loading and storing goods: bales of cotton. Strategically situated along the water, it translated itself to an early 20th century functional architecture with advanced mechanics. The cotton...master thesis 2018

Pietersma, Elmer (author)Due to the departure of heavy industry towards the west, many industrial waterfront buildings have lost their function within the harbour area of Rotterdam. One of these buildings is the Katoenveem. <br/><br/>The building in question is a storage and transshipment facility designed specifically for cotton. It is a longitudinal building which...master thesis 2018

Slager, Hester (author)Santos is a warehouse from the beginning of the 20th century, that has been vacant for most of its existence. Located on Katendrecht, it is placed right in the middle of a future high-density plan for 'de Pols', which focuses on attracting urban creators. By turning Santos into a creative office, the thesis builds upon these plans from the...master thesis 2018
