Groen, Marsha (author)
Urbanisation is increasing rapidly around the world, bringing with it challenges such as energy consumption, resource depletion and social inequality. The concept of the compact city, which promotes denser settlement patterns for sustainability, has emerged as a response. However, challenges remain in the Dutch context, including land scarcity...

As housing shortage has to do with the insufficient supply of inexpensive houses and limited capacity for offering qualitative demands of the actual users, there is a discrepancy between what the current housing market provides and how new target groups want to live. <br/> Especially, the existing post-war houses show how they were originally...

Live Pole Drains (LPDs) are a plant-based drainage system used to drain natural slopes and prevent shallow gully erosion. LPDs are a Nature-based Solution built by placing a live fascine in a shallow ditch or gully along the slope direction, allowing moderate fluxes of surface runoff or seepage to infiltrate and high water fluxes to be conveyed...

In case you feel confused, this is an architecture project based on research which in total took one year. The process was never linear, but the narrative has to be. <br/><br/>For the first six months I studied the essential values of collective housing in post war period, how they prompted to solve housing crisis and how they embraced the...

As the housing shortage in the Netherlands increases, students have a harder time finding living spaces. On top of that, there has been an increase in psychological issues and feelings of loneliness among students. This loneliness can be exacerbated by the focus on building large studio apartment complexes without collective spaces. The proposed...

"What if the dikes were to break? How can we then live with the water in the most beautiful way?" The Netherlands has a long history of battling against the water. It is high time to embrace the water in a new vision for the Netherlands called "PLAN B: Future waterscapes."<br/><br/>“PLAN B: Future waterscapes” is a utopian vision, building upon...

The Master's thesis "A Spatial Dialogue in the emerging city of Addis Ababa" explores the intricate dynamics between formal and informal housing in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Authored by a German-Ethiopian architectural designer, the thesis critically examines the oversimplified categorization of traditional "sefer" settlements and modern...

During the time of industrialization, the city became methodologically constructed from a repeatable pattern based on a grid. A methodology that leads to design from the large scale towards the small scale as the grid as an outline of property. Through this the industrialization of the house brought a specific kind of representation forth. A...

This graduation project is a part of NEXTSKINS project, within which a novel bacterial cellulose based material encapsulating living bacteria and yeast named Living Therapeutic Skins (LTS) is being developed to sense and treat skin disease such as Atopic Dermatitis(AD). This project serves as a probe in the primitive stage of LTS material...

Vertical greening systems (VGS), i.e. vegetated building facades, can harness the benefits of nature to contribute to resilient and healthy cities. A lack of guidelines for the early selection and design of VGS currently limits implementation. Based on a literature study and expert interviews, this thesis proposes a multi-criteria framework and...

Background<br/>This project belongs to the IEBB project, which advocates for the renovation of ‘zero energy houses’ (ZEH) that synergize insulation and heat pump systems for energy conservation. The ZEH’s energy-saving efficiency depends on user behaviour. From a systems perspective, improper human interactions hinder energy saving, while...

Byzantine consensus protocols are designed to build resilient systems to achieve consensus under Byzantine settings, maintaining safety guarantees under any network synchrony model and providing liveness in partially or fully synchronous networks.<br/>However, several Byzantine consensus protocols have been shown to violate liveness properties...

Incorporating living cells into a non-living matrix is one of the many possible steps that can be undertaken to stop climate change. Especially, photosynthetic organisms have a promising future in material design as they can capture atmospheric carbon dioxide and ’ breathe’ oxygen. This research dives into unravelling the properties of a...

Flavobacteria are marine organisms that produce vivid, angle-dependent colour as their cells organise into structures that interact with light. These optical structures, resulting in structural colour, are influenced by environmental factors such as temperature and humidity. In this graduation project, the aim was to integrate living...

The transportation sector is moving towards a green future with a rapidly growing EV market and consequently, the demand for EV chargers is rising too. With the increased interest in 800V batteries and the current presence of 400V and 600V batteries, the voltage range for EV chargers is wide (150V-1000V). In this thesis, a wide-output EV charger...

Mycelium based composites (MBC) have revolutionised the field of material production, where a living fungus is employed to overgrow and bind lignocellulosic substrate materials together. Their bio-based nature, low embodied energy, and biodegradability, mark their great potential to reduce the increasing pressure conventional materials put on...

The acceleration of the sea level rise will have an immediate global impact, especially on the Delta works. This projection increases the challenge for flood protection strategies and the existing flood barriers that currently lack adaptation for the higher water level. As an opportunity from the negative outcome of climate change and the most...
