Business Innovation Towards a Circular Economy
An Ecosystem Perspective
2021 || Paperback || Jan Konietzko || TU Delft Open
We currently live in a carbon intensive linear economy. On the basis of burning fossil fuels, we take, make and waste an increasing amount of materials. This has pushed us against serious planetary boundaries. Radical reductions in environmental impact are needed over the coming decades. Entire economies and societies will have to reorganize. A promising candidate to support this reorganizing is a circular economy. It cuts waste, emissions and pollution, and it keeps the value of products, co...

Developing circular building components
Between ideal and feasible
2023 || Paperback || Anne van Stijn || TU Delft
Creating a circular economy within the built environment is vital to achieve a more sustainable society. By replacing building components with more circular ones during new construction, maintenance and renovation, we can gradually create a circular built environment. There are many different possible design variants for circular building components. Yet, knowledge on which variants are the most most circular, and which are feasible to implement is lacking. In this dissertation, we aimed to d...

Mass Housing Neighbourhoods and Urban Commons
Values-based Governance and Intervention Framework for New Belgrade Blocks
2023 || Paperback || Anica Dragutinovic || TU Delft
The neglect of significance, deterioration and consequent devaluation of the post-war mass housing neighbourhoods are major challenges, both in the field of heritage conservation and management and in urban planning and design. The reasons for their deterioration are different, and interlinked with the socio-cultural discourse, as well as the spatial characteristics of these neighbourhoods. This doctoral research addresses the challenges of those neighbourhoods, focusing on New Belgrade Block...

Everyday Heritage
Identifying attributes of 1965-1985 residential neighbourhoods by involved stakeholders
2023 || Paperback || Lidwine Spoormans || TU Delft
In improving the sustainability of our built environment, European institutions emphasize the importance of protecting and advancing cultural values. As most of the stock is not listed, nor is its heritage significance assessed, future sustainable developments risk neglecting present attributes, causing the loss of resources and their significance. This problem applies to 1965-1985 Dutch housing, comprising over 30% of the stock, with no clarity on its heritage significance. This thesis aims ...

Towards a new -Existenzminimum
Defining principles for the co-design of affordable collaborative housing
2023 || Paperback || Sara Brysch || TU Delft
This thesis brings forward the design dimension, and, more specifically, co-design, to the study of housing affordability. Co-design occurs when end-users and professionals work together towards a common goal. It is a process often applied in collaborative housing, an umbrella concept encompassing different housing forms based on collective self-organisation and collaboration, where residents choose to share certain spaces. The aim of this research is to assess if and how co-design processes ...

Understanding how social -sustainability goals are governed into urban development projects
2024 || Paperback || Céline Janssen || TU Delft
This dissertation develops an understanding towards governing social sustainability goals into area-based urban development projects. It draws on Amartya Sen’s Capability Approach to construct a capability-centered evaluation of how institutionalized governance processes around these projects ultimately affect people’s freedoms to do the things they value in their urban living environment. Presenting case studies from the Netherlands, Sweden and Austria, the approach adopted in this disse...

In 2002, Gunawan Tjahjono opened his inaugural speech at University of Indonesia with a reference to Vincent Van Romondt, the last remaining Dutch tutor of architecture in Indonesia, who had pioneered an approach that challenged Indonesians to think about the relationship between architecture and 'nationbuilding'. Since independence, the topic of 'towards an Indonesian architecture,' has received various interpretations, with numerous references to Van Romondt. Josef Prijotomo, one of the mos...

Form Follows Force
2018 || Paperback || Qingpeng Li || TU Delft
The springing up of freeform architecture and structures introduces many challenges to structural engineers. The main challenge is to generate structural forms with high structural efficiency subject to the architectural space constraints during the conceptual structural design process.
Structural Morphology is the study of the relation between form and force, which can be considered the guiding theory for this challenge. The relation between form and force is important for all types of struc...

Spatial Planning for Urban Resilience in the Face of the Flood Risk
Institutional Actions, Opportunities and Challenges
2021 || Paperback || Meng Meng || TU Delft Open
The research was inspired by the increasing impact of extreme weather events and changing climate patterns on flood-prone regions and cities, and the consequent human and economic costs. Despite global efforts for flood resilience and climate adaptation involving climate analysts, economists, social scientists, politicians, hydrological engineers, spatial planners, and policymakers, it is only partially clear how best to construct resilience measures and implement concrete initiatives. The co...
