Urbanity in context and concept

In Friesland zijn sinds het einde van de negentiende eeuw meer dan 160 zuivelfabrieken gebouwd. Ruim een derde van de dorpen en steden had zo’n fabriek. Net als de kerk werd de zuivelfabriek een sociaal referentiepunt, een plek die de mensen in en rondom dorp of stad verenigde in een gemeenschappelijke activiteit, namelijk het maken van boter en kaas.

Van al die oude zuivelfabrieken zijn nog slechts enkele in bedrijf, en meer dan honderd zijn er – soms gedeeltelijk – afgebroken. Zuivelf...

This study enlarges on the notion of composition in landscape architecture, building on the ‘Delft Method’, which elaborates composition as a methodological framework for landscape design. At the same time it takes a critical stance in respect to this method in response to recent developments in landscape architecture such as the site-specicity and process discourses.

The notion of composition is examined from a historical, theoretical and lexical perspective, before turning to an examina...

Over the years, the consumption of materials for construction exceeded more than half of the total materials consumed in the Netherlands, and construction waste exceeded the volume of solid waste produced by households. Since the introduction of the "Ladder van Lansink" (in the 1970’s) and the further development of the European Waste Framework Directives followed by the Circular Economy concept, waste prevention has been considered a priority measure. Whereas the goals to improve waste man...
