Liao, X. (author), Saeednia, M. (author), Nogal Macho, M. (author), Tavasszy, Lorant (author)Large-scale electrification of heavy-duty road freight faces challenges including scarcity of charging infrastructure and high battery costs. Dynamic charging could help overcome these challenges by enabling trucks to charge while driving. Important additional benefits for carriers related to lower required sizes and longer lifetimes of...journal article 2024

Chen, Y. (author), Nijhuis, S. (author), van Dorst, M.J. (author)Numerous studies show the benefits of wilderness to humans and the environment. Therefore, preserving and developing wilderness areas within urban settings are crucial to combat and mitigate challenges like biodiversity decline resulting from urbanization. According to previous studies, human-wilderness interactions can be contradictory, e.g.,...journal article 2024

Li, Bo (author), Ouyang, Hao (author), Wang, T. (author), Dong, Tian (author)Exploring the influence of settlement patterns on the landscape fragmentation in woodlands and biological reserves is key to achieving ecologically sustainable development. In this research, we chose the Nanshan National Park in Hunan Province, China, as a case study, to explore the influence mechanisms. First, we identified the biological...journal article 2023

Nijhuis, S. (author)Natuurinclusief bouwen is een actueel en belangrijk thema. Maar hoe doe je dat, natuurinclusief bouwen? We zien steeds meer goede toepassingen op het niveau van gebouwen met groene daken en wanden, nestgelegenheden voor vogels etc. en op het niveau van de openbare ruimte met vaste planten grassen, regentuinen, etc. Maar in hoeverre speelt de...journal article 2023

Bobbink, I. (author), Chouairi, A. (author), Sun, P. (author)Considering ‘infrastructures as landscapes’ and ‘landscapes as infrastructures’, this article uses an open framework to reconsider the distinctive water infrastructure of France’s UNESCO-listed heritage Canal du Midi. More specifically, it profiles the Canal’s Mediterranean outlet. Viewed through a landscape architectonic lens, we investigate...journal article 2023

Naghibi, M. (author), Ekhlassi, Ahmad (author), Faizi, Mohsen (author)Tectonic theory is an integrative philosophy that examined the relations formed between design, construction, and space while create or experience architecture. Various tectonic perspectives since 1852 considering ‘space’ as an important parameter in tectonic were reviewed. This study aimed at proposing a new definition of landscape tectonics...journal article 2023

Zhang, H. (author), Nijhuis, S. (author), Newton, C.E.L. (author)Existing studies indicate that a direct view of aquatic elements benefits well-being, and houses with blue views are often associated with higher prices. Therefore, developing analysis and design methods for visibility research of blue spaces are crucial to advance spatial design practice. Especially digital methods for analysing blue visibility...journal article 2023

Zhang, H. (author), Nijhuis, S. (author), Newton, C.E.L. (author)Water, a vital element of human existence, shapes cities and benefits human health through daily exposure. This study delves into advanced digital methods to describe blue space exposure effectively, aiming to optimise spatial accessibility and visibility of water for designing sustainable healthy urban environments. Rotterdam is utilised as a...journal article 2023

Muñoz Sanz, V. (author), Katsikis, N. (author)This issue of 'Footprint' explores techn-natural spatialities and materialities found across operational landscapes of primary production. To the extent that these landscapes are increasingly automated and digitised, production and circulation practices are becoming more capital intensive and even less labour-intensive. While amplifying the...journal article 2023

Pintossi, N. (author), Ikiz Kaya, D. (author), Pereira Roders, A. (author)The adaptive reuse of cultural heritage contributes to heritage conservation, leveraging on the heritage potential to enable sustainable development and enhance urban livability. Yet, it is seldom applied as intervention. This research furthers the knowledge on the challenges to the adaptive reuse of cultural heritage. Through the case study...journal article 2023

Liu, M. (author), Nijhuis, S. (author)Spatial-visual landscape design vocabulary is important for landscape architects to understand, design, and communicate about landscape spaces. Despite the importance, there is no comprehensive overview available. This article aims to fill this gap by reviewing and categorising the spatial-visual design vocabulary for the field of landscape...journal article 2022

de Wit, S.I. (author)Meaningfulness in the urban landscape is guided by perception: the qualities of the environment only become meaningful if they can be experienced. Experiences are localized in the physical environment: the form of the (urban) landscape - which includes materiality as well as structure - creates the conditions, the organisation, of experience....journal article 2022

However, as urbanization continues to accelerate, the exploitation of natural wilderness spaces in cities is inevitable. How to preserve and design wilderness as much as possible within...journal article 2022

Oppenhuis, L. (author)This visual essay discusses drawing time in relation to the author’s graduation project, which is based on the paradigm of a multispecies world. Three design principles are derived from this paradigm: movement, hybrid and landscape as being. These relate to different notions of time and thus on drawing time. Movement means drawing the now....journal article 2022
