Hoe kunnen architecten de bevindingen van het Evidence Based Design toepassen in hun ontwerpen?

Dit boek identificeert de ruimtelijke kwaliteiten, waarvan wetenschappelijk bewezen is dat deze een positief effect hebben op de gezondheid en het welbevinden van patiënten en de staf, om daarmee architecten een handreiking te bieden voor het ontwerpen van betere ziekenhuizen. Deze maatregelen zijn ontleend aan onderzoek dat is verricht in het kader van het Evidence-Based Design (EBD), dat is op te...

After 10 years of exploring the possibilities and ways to integrate Research-by-Design into Architecture Design Studio Teaching and PhD Theses in Architecture, Landscape Architecture and Urbanism at various universities in Europe and around the world, the time has come to investigate these matured/maturing research approaches in relation to existing paradigms of architectural research & design. DR_SoM is reporting from a series of academic workshops and seminars, organised by ARENA, an intern...

This thesis examines the development of technology campuses as built environments and their role in stimulating innovation. Technology campuses entail a variety of built environments developed to accommodate technology-driven research activities of multiple organisations. The science park is the most common type of technology campus. Other types include the campuses of universities of technology and corporate R&D parks.

This dissertation reports a PhD research on mathematical-computational models, methods, and techniques for analysis, synthesis, and evaluation of spatial configurations in architecture and urban design. Spatial configuration is a technical term that refers to the particular way in which a set of spaces are connected to one another as a network. Spatial configuration affects safety, security, and efficiency of functioning of complex buildings by facilitating certain patterns of movement and/or...

Designing from Heritage deals with challenges architects are faced with when dealing with the conservation and reuse of built heritage, with a focus on Modern Movement Monuments. It discusses how to carry out a thorough analysis and evaluation of monuments upon which their conservation and transformation can be based. It is meant for MSc education, but may be of interest to architects in general.

This book - the third in the Rondeltappe series - reflects the philosophy and didactic approach o...

There is a clear gap between actual and theoretical consumption in Dutch dwellings. Low performing dwellings tend to have a theoretical consumption much higher than actual, while high performing dwellings feature the opposite trend. These discrepancies are understandable at the level of individual dwellings and arise due to the standardizations made when calculating the theoretical consumption, however, on the level of the dwelling stock such a discrepancy is misleading and can lead to inaccu...

This research investigates and elucidates the behaviour of nanolime products for consolidation of calcareous substrates. Based on the developed knowledge, it proposes and validates a methodology (including solvent modification and application protocol) for improving the consolidation effectiveness of nanolime dispersions, making these a suitable alternative for TEOS products.
