Building for a better hospital
value-adding management and design of healthcare real estate
2019 || Paperback || Johan van der Zwart || TU Delft Open
Recent deregulation of laws on hospital real estate in the Netherlands implies that healthcare institutions have more opportunities to make independent accommodation choices, but at the same time have themselves become responsible for the risks associated with the investment. In addition, accommodation costs have become an integral part of the costs of healthcare. This sheds new light on the alignment between the organisation of healthcare and accommodation: care institutions themselves bear ...

Stations as Nodes
exploring the role of stations in future metropolitan areas from a French and Dutch perspective
2019 || Paperback || Manuela Triggianese e.a. || TU Delft Open
At the main point of intersection between the railway and the city, stations are key elements in the organization of the intermodal transport as well as catalysts of urban developments in metropolises, medium and small cities. The focus of this publication is to explore the enrichment of a renewed approach of railway stations as intermodal nodes, therefore acting as breeding grounds for both urban and social developments.
In this publication, invited experts from practice and knowledge instit...
Atlas: Makerspaces in Public Libraries in The Netherlands
2019 || Paperback || Olindo Caso e.a. || TU Delft Open
Public libraries want to contribute to an inclusive and innovative society and aim to enable their patrons to acquire the necessary 21st century skills. Dutch public libraries are therefore gradually adding more and more activities to their curriculum, teaching these different types of skills, such as ‘invention literacy’.
They also often provide a ‘performative space’ (i.e. a makerspace) for their patrons. This means library spaces are no longer dominated by books, but rather reflect...
Home Occupant Archetypes
Profiling householders’ comfort- and energy-related behaviours with mixed-methods
2019 || Paperback || Marco A. Ortiz || TU Delft Open
This research aimed at understanding how occupants use energy in their homes to make themselves feel more comfortable. This was done to propose customized environmental characteristics that could improve the occupants’ comfort while reducing energy consumption. To conceptualize such bespoke environmental features, occupant archetypes were produced based on the occupants’ intentions and motivations behind comfort behaviours.
A mixed-methods human-centered design approach was developed for ...

Rietveld Schröder House challenging the Future
2019 || Paperback || Marie-Thérèse van Thoor || TU Delft Open
This new book on the Rietveld Schröder House (by Gerrit Th. Rietveld, 1924) sheds light on the thorough restorations of its exterior (1970s) and interior (1980s), and the principles for the furnishing when it opened as a museum house for the public, in 1987.
Since the restorations, carried out by architect Bertus Mulder (b. 1929), the house is once more a shining manifesto of De Stijl and modernist living. Few realize that this is one of the first examples of a restored modern heritage build...
Negotiation and design for the self-organising city
gaming as a method for urban design
2019 || Paperback || Ekim Tan || TU Delft Open
An understanding of cities as open systems whose agents act on them simultaneously from below and above, influencing urban processes by their interaction with them and with each other, is replacing the simplistic debate on urban participation which asks whether cities should be organized bottom-up or top-down. This conceptualization of cities as complex systems calls for new collaborative city-making methods: a combination of collaborative planning (which already embraces various agencies and...
Cyber-physical Architecture #2
Apparatisation in & of Architecture
2019 || Paperback || Sang Lee e.a. || TU Delft Open
Apparatus and apparatisation, the focus of the Cyber-Physical Architecture (CpA) issue #2 of SPOOL, refer to an assemblage of various components, tools, and instruments that in combination produce an exponential surplus beyond the linear sum of parts.
The CpA #2 samples various interests afforded by the apparatus and apparatisation in and of architecture and how they open up new potentials and opportunities. The first article, Building as Apparatus? (by Leach) addresses the theme of “buildi...
Geo-Design
advances in bridging geo-information technology, urban planning and landscape architecture
2019 || Paperback || Steffen Nijhuis e.a. || TU Delft Open
Geodesign is a GIS-based planning and design method, which tightly couples the creation of design proposals with impact simulations informed by geographic contexts. Geodesign as such comprises a set of geo-information technology driven methods and techniques for planning built and natural environments in an integrated process. It includes project conceptualization, analysis, design specification, stakeholder participation and collaboration.
This academic publication brings together a wide var...
