Liu, R. (author)The project is a city-level analysis on urban forms of Arnhem. It explores perspectives to capture and represent the spatial characteristics and eventually, character of the city. The approaches include city as landscape, city as planned artefact, city as categorised chaos and city as spatio-temporal entity comprised of humans and built forms....master thesis 2016

Marzot, N. (author)This thesis considers the city and its architecture the extreme condition under which the endless discussion around the human being way of thinking takes place. More precisely, the research assumes the city as the place where the displacement of mindset principles, categories and catalogue of objects is materialized into Form, becoming...doctoral thesis 2014

Kuzniecow Bacchin, T. (author), Veerbeek, W. (author), Denekew, H.B. (author), Pathirana, A. (author), Zevenbergen, C. (author)Cities exhibit unique spatial patterns, and thus a distinctive heterogeneity. At different scales of influence, they introduce changes in the physical properties of the natural environment, as the diffusion of impervious surfaces. While climate change is expected to increase the frequency of hazards, patterns of urbanization might be critical in...conference paper 2011

Pinzon Cortes, C.E. (author)This dissertation discusses the importance to study the form of the contemporary urban landscape. It shows how mapping is the tool by which the formal logic of the contemporary city can be uncovered. Through mapping, the urban landscape can be understood as systems of overlapping layers. This observation in terms of overlapping layers allows...doctoral thesis 2009

Read, S.A. (author)The relation between the global and the local is the traditional concern of space syntax. A ‘form’ and a ‘structure’ of urban fabrics can be represented in images and graph measures using space syntax techniques and these images and measures correlate with observations of how people use and organize those urban fabrics. The implication is that...conference paper 2009
