Facades-as-a-Service
A cross-disciplinary model for the (re)development of circular building envelopes
2023 || Paperback || Juan F. Azcárate-Aguerre || TU Delft
The clean energy and Circular Economy transitions in the Built Environment have respectively dominated the academic dialogue in architecture, engineering, and real estate for the last 20+ years. While significant progress has been done, and many fine examples of more sustainable architecture exist, the process has been hindered by traditional systemic models for the planning, contracting, financing, construction, and management of building projects.
If we are to meet the ambitious climate-cha...

Sensing the Cultural Significance with AI for Social Inclusion
A Computational Spatiotemporal Network-based Framework of Heritage Knowledge Documentation using User-Generated Content
2023 || Paperback || Nan Bai || TU Delft
Social Inclusion has been growing as a goal in heritage management. Whereas the 2011 UNESCO Recommendation on the Historic Urban Landscape (HUL) called for tools of knowledge documentation, social media already functions as a platform for online communities to actively involve themselves in heritage-related discussions. Such discussions happen both in “baseline scenarios” when people calmly share their experiences about the cities they live in or travel to, and in “activated scenarios...

Towards a circular building industry through digitalisation
Exploring how digital technologies can help narrow, slow, close, and regenerate the loops in social housing practice
2023 || Paperback || Sultan Çetin || TU Delft
This thesis explores the integration of Circular Economy (CE) principles of narrow, slow, close, and regenerate in the social housing practice through digital technologies. Beginning with the examination of the CE implementation in Dutch social housing organisations, the research extends its focus to the broader built environment, introducing the Circular Digital Built Environment Framework and identifying ten enabling technologies. Subsequent chapters explore real-world applications of these...

Landscapes of Trade
Towards sustainable spatial planning for the logistics complex in the Netherlands
2024 || Paperback || Merten Nefs || TU Delft
By combining different perspectives and methods of empirical research, this PhD thesis generates multi-disciplinary insights into the rise of the logistics complex and its planning discourse whilst focusing specifically on XXL distribution centres (DCs) in the Netherlands. Since the 1980s, the building footprint of this complex has increased fourfold, to approximately 80 million square metres, generating a new large-scale landscape type: Landscapes of Trade. The research addresses urgent i...

Daily Mobility in Metropolitan Areas
The case of higher education students and urban spatial development in the Valparaiso Metropolitan Area
2024 || Paperback || Marcela Soto || TU Delft
This study seeks to understand the interrelationship between daily mobility and the spatial structure of an emerging metropolitan urban system. It is concerned with the daily mobility of a specific group of inhabitants, higher education students, living in a contemporary metropolis and experiencing urban living. The study’s main aim is to better understand aspects of this complex urban spatial structure through the students’ lives and through their daily mobility to explore specific urban...

In the Name of Conservation
Reflections on the Interpretation and Justification of China’s Urban Heritage Practices by Taking Shanghai’s Lilong Neighbourhoods as an Example
2023 || Paperback || Kaiyi Zhu || TU Delft
This thesis investigates the introduction, adaption, and implementation of the modern concept of heritage conservation in modern China after the opening of its treaty ports. Through an analysis of the different layers of disseminating and receiving knowledge in transnational exchanges, it explicitly points out the divergence between the Eurocentric concept of conservation and the Chinese tradition of treating historic buildings and sites. As a result of the complexity of understanding and ada...

Entrepreneurial citizenship in urban regeneration
2023 || Paperback || Nuha Al Sader || TU Delft
More and more citizens are entering the public domain and taking over tasks that traditionally belong to the government. For example, citizens increasingly run a community centre themselves, maintain the greenery in their neighbourhood and manage the local playground. To some extent, governments also encourage this behaviour and are disposing of social real estate. Against this background, this study examines the rise of citizens' initiatives in the Netherlands and how this takes shape in the...

Spatial approaches to a circular economy
Determining locations and scales of closing material loops using geographic data
2023 || Paperback || Tanya Tsui || TU Delft
Rapid urbanization has exerted unsustainable pressures on the environment, and implementing circular economy (CE) in cities has been seen by policy makers as a potential solution for resource scarcity. Scholars have therefore called for an understanding of the spatial aspects of CE that go beyond urban governance strategies, engendering the recent integration of spatial disciplines, such as urban planning and regional economics, into the study of CE.
Using the Netherlands as a case study, th...
