Performance assessment strategies

a computational framework for conceptual design of large roofs

2019 || Paperback || Michela Turrin || TU Delft Open

Using engineering performance evaluations to explore design alternatives during the conceptual phase of architectural design helps to understand the relationships between form and performance; and is crucial for developing well-performing final designs. Computer aided conceptual design has the potential to aid the design team in discovering and highlighting these relationships; especially by means of procedural and parametric geometry to support the generation of geometric design, and buildin...

Performance measurement of workplace change

in two different cultural contexts

2019 || Paperback || Chaiwat Riratanaphong || TU Delft Open

Nowadays, organisations must cope with the pressure of cost reduction and efficiency in order to succeed in a highly competitive business environment. However, drivers to improve social interaction and employee’s performance and as such to contribute to organisational goals and objectives make it necessary to be concerned with other performance criteria as well, such as effectiveness, flexibility, employee satisfaction, productivity and creativity. There is a growing need for performance ma...

Durable past: sustainable future

2017 || Paperback || Rob van Hees e.a. || TU Delft Open || met inkijkexemplaar

The section Heritage & Architecture of the Faculty of Architecture at the Delft University of Technology deals with the built environment in terms of conservation, refurbishment and re-use. Reflecting the department philosophy, this book focuses on the durability and sustainability of existing buildings (heritage in a broad sense, from historic buildings to listed monuments), considered in terms of material and building techniques, form and function, and part of the wider context of sites and...

Transformations of urbanising delta landscape

an historic examination of dealing with the impacts of climate change for the kaoping river delta in Taiwan

2019 || Paperback || Chen Kun Chung || TU Delft Open

This dissertation argues that the floods following extreme precipitation result not
only from very heavy rainfall but also from the significant impact of human activities on natural water systems. While most literature emphasises that the increasing magnitude of storm rainfall extends beyond the original protection standards of hydrologic facilities in highly populated delta cities. Based on the knowledge of urban morphology, this study analyses how human systems have affected the transform...

Strategic investment of embodied energy during the architectural planning process

2019 || Paperback || Linda Hildebrand || TU Delft Open

Building industry impacts natural cycles and has potential for optimization. While impairment on nature reached a new dimension already some three centuries ago the building industry started to realize the dependency in the second half of the 20th century. With LCA method all life cycle phases can be monitored and the environmental impact of each can be quantified. The energy consuming and emission generating components in the building context can be distinguished in the groups transport, ope...

Social housing organisations in England and The Netherlands

between the state, market and community

2019 || Paperback || Darinka Czischke || TU Delft Open

Rapid and deep changes in society, the economy and policy over the last decades 
are having an increasing impact on the delivery of social housing in North Western Europe. These changes are transforming the way in which social housing providers perform their task and are reshaping their relationships with the State, communities and with other market actors. The combination of continued State withdrawal from service provision, the deep and persistent effects of the global financial crisis th...

Understanding culture in territorial management and its implications for spatial planning

the case of floodplain management in urbanised delta regions in the Netherlands and Thailand

2019 || Paperback || Suwanna Rongwiriyaphanich || TU Delft Open

Previous experiences have shown that the implementation of planning policy does not always lead to the originally intended territorial management outcomes. This issue
is particularly crucial when policy ideas, institutions, models and programmes are transferred into places with different cultural settings without adaptations (Knieling and Othengrafen 2009b; Sanyal 2005). These unexpected consequences in planning practice and management outcomes have brought a significant amount of attention...

Dwelling on courtyards

Exploring the energy efficiency and comfort potential of courtyards for dwellings in the Netherlands

2019 || Paperback || Mohammad Taleghani || TU Delft Open

The urban heat island (UHI) phenomenon and the dependency of buildings on
fossil fuels were the two main issues that formed this dissertation. UHI results in higher air temperatures in dense urban areas compared with their suburbs and rural surroundings. This phenomenon affects human health through thermal discomfort. Furthermore, in the Netherlands, it is estimated that by 2050 the air temperature could be up to 2.3°C warmer as compared to the period of 1981-2010. Besides, the energy cons...

Evaluation of plan implementation

peri-urban development and the Shanghai master plan 1999-2020

2019 || Paperback || Jinghuan He || TU Delft Open

Since the 1980s China has experienced unprecedented urbanisation as a result of a series of reforms promoting rapid economic development. Shanghai, like the other big cities along China’s coastline, has witnessed extraordinary growth in its economy and population with industrial development and rural-to-urban migration generating extensive urban expansion. Shanghai’s GDP growth rate has been over 10 per cent for more than 15 years. Its population in 2013 was estimated at 23.47 million, wh...

Facade refurbishment toolbox

supporting the design of residential energy upgrades

2019 || Paperback || Thaleia Konstantinou || TU Delft Open

The starting point of the research is the need to refurbish existing residential building stock, in order to reduce its energy demand, which accounts for over one fourth of the energy consumption in the European Union. Refurbishment is a necessary step to reach the ambitious energy and decarbonisation targets for 2020 and 2050 that require an eventual reduction up to 90% in CO2 emissions. In this context, the rate and depth of refurbishment need to grow. The number of building to be renovated...
