Border Formation
The Becoming Multiple of Space
2023 || Paperback || Grazia Tona || TU Delft
This doctoral thesis examines the militarisation of the Southern border of Hungary as a process of spatial formation, expanding the debate on borders from the political to the architectural arena. Combining spatial theory with empirical research on the case study, the thesis rethinks the border as a complex spatial system, with an agency of its own. From this perspective, it contests the enforcement of spatial boundaries from the above and related ideas of fixity. It brings attention to the a...

Addis Ababa’s sefer, iddir, and gebbi
Nuanced reading of complex urban forms
2023 || Paperback || Anteneh Tesfaye Tola || TU Delft
This research is motivated by the scholarly calls for new concepts and analytic tools for documenting, analysing, and theorizing complex urban territories such as those of cities in Africa. With implicit comparative intent, it takes the case of Addis Ababa city and its old and typifying places—the sefer, to develop and test a new architectural transdisciplinary research methodology referred to as the trinocular. By way of this methodology, it unearths and introduces sefer, iddir, and gebbi ...

Climate Change and the Resilience of Collective Memories
The Case Study of Fındıklı in Rize, Türkiye
2023 || Paperback || Gül Aktürk || TU Delft
Vernacular heritage sites encompass customs, practices, places, objects, artistic expressions, and values that are innate to a particular place and time. Climate knowledge of the particular place and time is embedded in vernacular settlements and lifestyles along with other environmental, cultural, and societal determinants of the place. Rebuilt, restored, and adapted, vernacular settlements evolved with changing climate, cultural practices, community aspirations, and a gradual influx of mode...
Heritage Beyond Singular Narratives
Embracing Diversity in Participatory Heritage Planning Empowered by Artificial -Intelligence
2023 || Paperback || Mahda Foroughi || TU Delft
This PhD thesis explores the evolving field of heritage planning, focusing on the cultural significance of heritage properties. It advocates for a value-based approach that recognizes the diverse perspectives of stakeholders, including experts, policymakers, and users. While participatory heritage aims to foster consensus-building, tensions may arise due to varying cultural significance conveyed by different stakeholder groups. Conventional research methods are time-consuming and costly, limi...

Hospital Layout Design Optimization using Computational Architecture
2023 || Paperback || Cemre Çubukçuoğlu || TU Delft
Hospitals are known as functionally complex buildings in various ways, namely due to their non-trivial spatial connectivity requirements. A spatial configuration has an impact on human behavior, human movement patterns and should match with the operational logic of the buildings. In hospitals, there are several typical problems that can be attributed to the configuration of the building, namely the inefficient circulation of medical staff, difficult way-finding for visitors, lengthy and compl...

The diverse pathways of social inequality transmission in the neighbourhood
2023 || Paperback || Agata Troost || TU Delft
This PhD thesis aims to move beyond the standard treatments of neighbourhoods in research on spatially transmitted inequality. The research questions explored in the four empirical chapters of the thesis delve into under-researched elements of sociospatial inequality transmission in neighbourhoods. The thesis uses statistical models to analyse register and survey data, and relies on different operationalisations of neighbourhoods: administrative and bespoke. Chapter 2 finds that controlling f...

Local Activism in Urban Neighborhood Governance
The case of Cairo, Egypt
2023 || Paperback || Aya Elwageeh || TU Delft
This study investigates local activism in politically challenging contexts, focusing on Cairo. In such contexts, active resident groups strive for urban improvement, while governance arrangements often disregard citizen involvement in urban and public affairs. Cairo presents an exemplary case of local activism in a politically challenging and under-researched context. The study explores the characteristics, roles, and interrelations of active resident groups with local governance arrangements...

The Intelligent Built-Environment as Cyber-Physical System
2023 || Paperback || Alexander Liu Cheng || TU Delft
This thesis presents an alternative approach to intelligence in the built-environment, departing from the two established yet divergent branches in the discourse: the Technical, centered around Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), and represented by Ambient Intelligence (AmI) and Ambient Assisted Living (AAL); and the Architectural, centered around architectural / spatial experiences and considerations, and represented by Interactive Architecture and Adaptive Architecture.

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...
